The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 739

At that moment, Lucas wished he could travel back in time to give the old him a slap or two for mistaking Corinne.

…

Meanwhile, back in the Holdens' mansion.

Corinne fished out her phone, which had been vibrating the whole time, from her pocket as soon as Lucas left the house. It was a video call from Jeremy. She had put her phone on silent during the conversation she had with Lucas and now that he had left, she could finally answer the video call.

Jeremy's perfect and handsome face appeared on her phone screen as soon as she tapped on the 'Answer' button. "What were you doing just now? Why did it take you this long to answer my call?" he said angrily and coldly.

Corinne sat down languidly on the sofa. "I was eating just now."

"Eating? With who?" Jeremy asked with a frown.

'Someone from this house must have snitched on me!' thought Corinne. She pouted and said a little unhappily, "Don't you already know the answer to that?"

Jeremy narrowed his eyes; he decided to drop the pretense. "Why did Lucas come to see you when I'm not at home? More importantly, why did he cook for you?"

Corinne thought Jeremy looked cute when he was jealous. She beamed a cheeky smile at him and said, "He's probably just bored and thought he would come to our place and show off his cooking skills."

Not lacking any money himself, Jeremy simply looked at the green pieces of paper in her hand with a raised eyebrow. "What about it?"

"I finally got the salary Lucas owed me for the work I did in Rivera Group! It had dragged on for so long I thought I was never going to get it back." Corinne beamed happily at the stern Jeremy through the phone screen. "Let's go out for dinner tonight. It'll be my treat!"

At that moment, the unhappy frown on Jeremy's forehead finally disappeared. He could not stand just how adorable Corinne was. "Why, that's very generous of you."

"Of course!" Corinne lifted her chin proudly. "And I don't do this for everyone so you should count yourself lucky, Mister."

"Oh, really? Which restaurant do you have in mind then?" Jeremy asked with a smile.
