The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Sophia turned pale when such specific questions were directed to her. She shook her head innocently and denied it. “That’s not true! How could you make all those false accusations?”

Corinne sneered. “Please. I have no reason to waste my breath on you if you didn’t do any of that. You claim that I’m jealous of the marriage certificate you have with him, but what you don’t know is that I don’t give two hoots about it. If you can make him yours with that certificate, then by all means, do it!” Corinne glanced up and looked at Jeremy.

Jeremy was guilty as charged, so he did not dare to anger her or express his opinions. He was at fault for hiding from her the circumstances surrounding the marriage certificate, and he deserved all the scolding.

Sophia did not admit to anything that Corinne said, but she did not have strong reasons to refute him either. She deliberately changed the topic and said, “Don’t you appreciate and cherish Jeremy at all? Don’t you feel heartbroken if I take him away from you? How can you be worthy of his sincerity toward you if this is how you feel toward him?”

Jeremy’s expression sank. He narrowed his eyes slightly and did not know what to feel as he looked at Corinne.

Sophia was adept at deflecting conflicts. Just a few simple questions were able to generate some friction between Corinne and Jeremy, even though they had both eased up on each other more than before.

Corinne did not seem affected by it at all. If she could be brave to speak her mind in front of Jeremy, she need not worry about what he would think of her. She smiled and said, “He’s well aware of whether or not I’m worthy of him, so that’s none of your concern. However, you and I both know why you and Jeremy obtained the marriage certificate in the first place. I’m not jealous about it at all. I’m just angry that he kept it from me and didn’t tell me about it.

“If he could be convinced to be with you simply based on that document, then it only goes to show that he’s a fickle-minded man who isn’t worth my appreciation. In that case, you can have him! However, I know very well you can’t do that because he would’ve forgotten about me long ago if you were successful.”

Jeremy’s frown eased up a little after hearing her firm confidence in him.

Sophia was a little frustrated after hearing that. Corinne was much more difficult to deal with than expected. She was unlike any other woman, and it was no wonder that Jeremy could not forget her!

Jeremy then coaxed, “You must be thirsty after giving your statement and talking so much. I’ll get some water for you.”

Corinne narrowed her eyes at Jeremy. The physical aspect of losing someone was too painful, and she finally understood how much she cared about him. It was beyond rational judgment.

She still cared about him and loved him very much even after he lied to her. That was exactly the kind of thing that would happen to a lovesick person. However, it was much better than having a breakdown and regretting everything only after he was gone.

Deep down, Corinne knew Jeremy never cheated on her nor had any affection for Sophia. She might have come to terms with all that already, but she still showed him—the ‘big fat liar’ that he was—a displeased expression.

Corinne stared at him in disgust. “Don’t be so full of yourself. I haven’t forgiven you yet!”

Jeremy pursed his lips helplessly and coaxed her carefully, “I know that. But you still need to drink water, don’t you? You can’t deprive yourself of water because of me, right?”
