He sensed his heartbeat in the palm of his hand, steady and without any signs of nervousness or deception. Corinne, however, revealed a somewhat intriguing expression and said, "Mister, you're already in your thirties and have never been in a relationship before?"
Jeremy kept a calm face and coldly replied, "Busy, no time."
Corinne furrowed her brows and said, "A man like you, remaining single for 30 years, such a handsome face went to waste! I bet you were quite a heartthrob when you were young. What a pity! What a waste of your prime years without anyone to enjoy them!"
The man's eyes darkened, and he asked, "Am I that old now?"
Corinne looked at him, dressed in a tailored suit with mature and masculine features, and in her heart, she thought he looked handsome. But she intentionally nodded without giving him face and said, "Well, just, okay, I guess."
Jeremy's expression turned serious, and he tightened his grip around her waist as a punishment. He leaned in closer to her face and said, "That's right! I may be older now and lacking in relationship experience. But as I've gotten older, I can exercise and take care of myself for your sake. Experience can also be accumulated slowly with you. We can 'adapt' to each other and 'discover' together, hmm? Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Upon hearing the emphasized words 'exercise', 'adapt', and 'discover' from the man, Corinne suddenly blushed and said, "Cough, what are you saying! I don't understand!"
Jeremy narrowed his eyes, looking at her blushing face, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes. The girl just teased him, and now she was blushing?
The man chuckled indulgently and said, "It's okay if you don't understand. Tonight, I will personally show you and explain everything clearly. I promise you'll understand it perfectly."
Blushing, Corinne punched him and exclaimed, "You have no shame!"
With a hint of warmth in his eyes, Jeremy sneered, "Seems like you understood after all. Not so naive!"
Corinne remained silent.
Ugh, men!
Hearing her say that it was her home, a shadow crossed the man's brow.
Corinne did not think about what would happen between her and Jeremy in the future, let alone moving back to the Holdens.
"Mister, I already told you. Aaron and I are just friends! You also investigated him, so you should know that he only likes those sexy models in the pictures. I'm not his type!"
"That doesn't matter."
"Mister, I haven't agreed to anything with you yet! You can't interfere with my life!"
