The Day I Kissed An Older Man のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1721 - チャプター 1730

Francine loved sweet stuff, and that was why Chester would always choose a place where they had good desserts for their dates.After taking a few bites of her dessert, Francine suddenly let out a frustrated and melancholic sigh, prompting Chester to ask with concern, "Why the sigh? Something on your mind?""I'm worried about my brother and Corinne…" answered Francine. She was so worried that even eating the dessert could not cheer her up.Chester knew Corinne and Jeremy were the two most important people she cared about, so he comforted her, "You need to trust in Corinne that she'll handle this matter well. I'm sure your brother will come back safe and sound. He's been alive in all the years he's been missing, which proves his life is in no danger for the time being. So don't worry too much."Francine shook her head and pouted. "I'm not worried about that. I'm more worried that Corinne will fall in love with another man!"Chester was first stunned by what she said, but then he bur

"So I'm not someone?" asked Chester sarcastically."Okay, okay. Stop teasing me. I have to keep my attention on Anya to see if she's up to no good again!" said Francine shyly."Sure," said Chester. After that, he quietly observed Anya with Francine.What they saw was Anya talking seriously—sometimes gritting her teeth—to the man opposite her as though they were deep in an important conversation.The man opposite her looked to be in his early forties. He would nod and bow to Anya from time to time. It was obvious he was working for her.After 15 minutes or so, the man got up and left, leaving Anya alone in the coffee house sipping her coffee in a daze and lost in thought. Not long after that, she left too.Francine wanted to follow Anya after she came out of the coffee house, but Chester stopped her."She's going to find out we've been spying on her if we tail her now," he said."I just want to see whether she's going home or meeting up with someone else," replied Francine worri

"You better keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't come up with another scheme to hurt the boss! She has enough on her plate as it is!" warned Xante.Sunny's expression became serious. "I know Corinne is really worried about Jeremy, so you have my word that I'm not going to let anyone else bother her."Xante sat down and adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses. "I hope you can tell the right from the wrong this time instead of unconditionally protecting Anya."Sunny used to think Anya was the kindest and gentlest person in the whole world. It was not until later that he realized she had been corrupted by their mother, who taught her to be selfish and entitled. Anya ended up as a person who would do anything or use anyone to achieve her goals."Don't worry; I won't do that. Even though they're both my sisters, I know very well in my heart who's right and who's wrong."Xante fixed her troubled eyes on him, and they gradually calmed down.…That night, Francine immediately went to lo

'Something must be wrong with his assets for him to be in such a hurry to sell them off!' thought Corinne.She was carefully reading the report Xante sent her when her phone rang. She kept her eyes on the laptop screen while her hand moved to find her phone."Hey, Corinne. What are you doing now?" greeted Jason through the phone.She had not seen him for so long that she almost forgot he existed."Why are you calling me?" she asked indifferently. She was in work mode.Jason sighed with mock disappointment. "Corinne, can't you be nicer to me? We're business partners. Is this really how you want to treat your business partner?"Corinne raised an eyebrow. "How should I treat you then? Should I call you Jay-jay in a sickeningly sweet voice?"Jason smiled. "Yes, you should! I'll be very happy if you call me that!"Corinne was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him, so she said, "If you don't have anything important to say, I'm going to hang up the phone now.""Wait, no! I'm call

Jason frowned for a second before shrugging and smiling. "Fine. Turn on the heater all you want. But remember to come find me after you're done with your meeting."Corinne nodded. "If you're still here, that is."Jason grinned. "Don't worry. I will be here."After that, Jason followed Corinne's secretary out of the office.'Finally, some peace,' thought Corinne. She did not waste any time getting to work. She turned on her laptop to do some paperwork in preparation for the meeting later.Collaborating with Talbot Group was something the board of directors unanimously approved and was not something Corinne decided alone.As much as she did not like Jason, she was immensely grateful for him helping her out in the past. However, she could not return his feelings. Thus, when Jason proposed the two companies working together to develop the piece of land in Serenity Bay, Corinne immediately agreed to bring up the idea in the board of directors meeting. As to whether they would give her
