Semua Bab The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Bab 1131 - Bab 1140

"What does that have to do with you, Mister Aaron? Even if I do have a crush on him, it's not like you can set us up, right?"Aaron smiled. "And what if I can? Give me two days to settle my stuff, and then I'll set you two up on a date."Annie was speechless. She was only trying to get a rise out of him, so she did not expect he would actually agree to help her. "No, thanks! I don't need your help at all."Aaron raised his eyebrow. "Does that mean you'll ask him out yourself?"Annie frowned and turned back to look at him. "Mister Aaron, while it's true I failed to get you to agree to go on a date with me, that doesn't mean other guys will not ask me out on a date first! I'm not as bad of a catch as you think I am!"Aaron pursed his lips into a tight smile. "That's true. I'm sure plenty of guys will find you very attractive."Annie chose not to continue the conversation. She used to think Aaron was kind and funny, but at that moment, she just found him mean.'Corinne is right. Mi

'No wonder those tools look so familiar! They're the same as those used in the airport for security screening! But…'"Bowen, is this necessary? These people and Corinne go way back, so they're not bad people," said Annie."Miss Annie, we're just doing our job. Mister Jeremy has left strict orders for us to perform security checks on everyone who visits Miss Corinne," insisted Bowen."Fine," said Annie with resignation. "Let me ask my friends to see if they can accept it.""Very well," replied Bowen respectfully.'This is outrageous. I wonder if Mister Aaron and Miss Xante can accept this kind of treatment…' Annie walked over to them and was about to explain when Aaron said, "It's okay. We accept the security checks.""What? You're not angry, Mister Aaron?" asked Annie in shock.Aaron smiled. "Your uncle did this out of concern for Corinne, so what reason do we have not to accept it?""Phew! I'm so glad you think that. It didn't used to be like this, you know. But Uncle Jeremy m

However, since this was the first time Pamela met Aaron and Xante, she did not feel comfortable leaving Corinne alone with them. As much as she knew everyone was so quiet because of her, she did not plan to leave."I overheard you kids say you want to play bridge? Well, that just happens to be my favorite card game! It's such a shame I don't get to play it as often as I like, so I hope you don't mind letting me join," said Pamela after sipping her tea.Both Aaron and Xante were speechless while Corinne sat still expressionlessly.Only Annie smiled and said, "Sure! You can team up with me since I don't know how to play bridge at all. I'll be more than happy to learn a thing or two from a veteran like you.""No problem! I guarantee you'll be a pro by the end of the day. So, when shall we start?" asked Pamela.Everyone looked at each other.Finally, Corinne said, "Let's play after lunch. It'd be rude to let my friends play on an empty stomach since they took the trouble to come all

Pamela was surprised to see Corinne in the kitchen."Corinne, what are you doing here? Don't you want to hang out with your friends? I'll let you know when lunch is ready."Corinne smiled. "It's okay. They'll be fine by themselves. I came to see if you need any help."Pamela waved her hand. "No, it's alright. I have plenty of help here. You should get out of the kitchen. All this smoke and grease isn't good for the baby."Corinne looked down and stroked her belly. "Grandma, you really care about this baby, don't you?""Of course," replied Pamela sincerely. "How can I not care about my great-grandson?"Corinne smiled tepidly. "Does that mean you won't care about me once the baby is born?"Pamela was a little taken aback by the question. She quickly held Corinne's hand and said, "Is everything alright? Why would you think like that?"Corinne smiled wryly. "I can't help but think I'm just a birthing machine for the family. I have no freedom or say in my life anymore.""But Corinn

"Well, you wouldn't have taken the time to play with Joey if you didn't like kids, right?" asked Annie."Oh, I'm only doing it to help you. You looked kind of tired taking care of him," answered Aaron.Annie was stunned, and her heart actually skipped a beat. 'He's only doing this to help me… No, Annie! Don't overthink this. I shouldn't take the words of a serial flirter seriously.'She shook her head to clear her mind. "Thanks for helping, but I still think you must've liked kids. Otherwise, you'll find the whole thing annoying after five minutes. Just like my ex. He hates kids so much that he'd growl at any kid who comes near him."Aaron narrowed his eyes at the mention of Annie's ex. "Then why did you choose to be with him?" he asked with a smirk.Annie sighed and said sadly, "He actually treats me quite well, so I thought he'd change after we have kids of our own. But then I found out it was all an act. He just wanted to use me to get close to Uncle Jeremy's family."Aaron us
