Semua Bab The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Bab 101 - Bab 110

"You flatter me," Corinne responded absent-mindedly without raising her head.Jeremy rested his forehead on one hand and glanced at her from the side. "Have you learned it before?"His question was an inquisitive one because it defied common sense that Corinne could play the ukulele so well. Although he had chosen her to be his missus purely by chance, he had sent someone to investigate her background after that chance meeting.Although the Carews were regarded as a middle-class family, Corinne was an illegitimate daughter who did not receive much in the way of care. She was sent to the countryside to be raised by relatives since she was young, and the worrying environment of her upbringing meant she hardly had any means to learn any musical instruments. Yet, that piece she played at the gathering earlier was simply beyond the reach of anyone without a solid foundation of seven or eight years.She was so full of contradictions that he could not help but wonder if there was more to

Sherlyn's shocked tone prompted Marvin and Lilliana to look out of the car window together.Lilliana rolled her eyes and said, "Look, Marvin! That is Corinne! Is that man her partner? Corinne's a young woman, and it's already very late. Why is she wandering around outside with a man? That's not very good, is it?"Marvin frowned in displeasure, firstly because of how inappropriate it was for his daughter Corinne to be alone with a man at such a late hour, and secondly because he saw Corinne walking into the train station entrance with that man. From his angle, all they could see was the man's back profile and not his face. However, Marvin, Lilliana, and Sherlyn had only one word for that man—poor.Sherlyn sighed and pretended to be worried for them as she said, "Dad, why did Corinne get a boyfriend who goes around using the train? She's not showing any improvement over the men that Mom introduced to her before. Those men all have houses and cars!"Lilliana joined in with her daughte

Corinne shut her eyes momentarily as though tired. The exhausted expression made her endearing face look stern.She said, "Mister, I hope we'll have more trust for each other. You don't have to be so guarded and fear I'd cheat on you. Please give me some space! I told you I'd never have an affair before the three months are over. Just trust me on that!"Jeremy looked at her unblinkingly. "You thought I was worried about you?"Corinne looked up, tilted her head, and looked at him with her widened eyes. "What else could it be? You wouldn't have gone to the party ground that's not even to your liking, and you wouldn't have come into the room to check on mine and embarrass my classmate if you weren't worried about me!"Jeremey said faintly, "Miss Carew, please remember about our partnership. Inevitably, I hold partial responsibility for your safety during these three months. I'm not suspecting you, but the things that have me worrying are those male classmates around you. Can't you tel

The maid stopped and answered, "Madam Pamela is leaving, ma'am."'Grandma is leaving?' thought Corinne.She began fearing for the worst, worried that what Francine did yesterday had scarred Pamela. Just then, she heard her calling her name softly."Corinne."She looked up and saw Pamela walking over slowly to her."Grandma, I heard that you're leaving," Corinne said.Pamela smiled kindly and sighed helplessly. "That's right. I need to go back to your grandfather. That stubborn old man refused to listen, even after he had just had his operation. He doesn't follow the doctor's orders when I'm not around, so I need to go back and keep an eye on him.""I see." Once Corinne knew that was the reason why Pamela had to go back, she knew better than to ask her to stay longer. "Grandma, you have to look after yourself too. Have a safe journey home."Pamela nodded and held Corinne's hand softly. "Corinne, I know you've been through a lot after you married Jeremy. Francine had gone too far

Corinne smiled faintly. "I am going to work here.""Work here? Aren't you working as a nanny with a rich employer?" Sherlyn asked."My employer seldom comes back home, and there's nothing much to do there. I thought I'd do a part-time job to earn more money," Corinne explained.Sherlyn examined Corinne contemptuously. She sneered when she saw how dreadful Corinne looked just to make more money. "Geez, you need a part-time job to make money? Guess your rich employer isn't paying you a lot."Corinne nodded. "It's not a lot.""What's wrong, Sherlyn? Why are you standing at the door? Aren't you going to take your magazine cover?" a kind middle-aged man's voice came out of the office.Sherlyn looked back and smiled shyly at the middle-aged man. "Mister Feldman, I was just about to leave, but someone is blocking the door.""Blocking the door? Let me see who dares to block your way." Mister Feldman walked out to take a look.He put on a look like he was about to scold his foolish subo
