The Day I Kissed An Older Man のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Marvin had a gloomy expression and was still somewhat angry because the scandal involving his eldest daughter Sherlyn had become a trending topic.Corinne walked over slowly and persuaded him softly, "Dad, your health will be affected if you get angry. Don't worry so much about that whole incident with Sherlyn. I'm sure a lot of people will forget about it once all the fanfare dies down.""You're right." At the end of the day, Corinne was the more honest and sensible daughter, which saved Marvin from worrying too much about her.Many things had not gone smoothly for Marvin in recent days, and he frowned before asking, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"Corinne nodded and put the painting she was holding on the table. "Take a look at this painting, Dad..." she said while gently tearing off the kraft paper covering the painting. The piece's magnificent, artistic beauty soon came into view.She had brought with her 'Geese in Late Autumn'—one of her mother's posthumous

At the entrance of the Asian restaurant, Jeremy strode out of the car with Corinne by his side before walking into the restaurant.Tommy respectfully stood by the car and stared incredulously at Jeremy from behind.After Corinne suggested that they get some Asian food, he casually called Jeremy to inform him of Corinne's request. Little did he expect that Jeremy would agree to cancel the reservation at the French restaurant and change the venue to an Asian restaurant. His attitude toward Corinne seemed to be different from most.However, the more important issue was whether or not Asian cuisine even suited his taste palate....The aroma in the Asian restaurant was characteristically rich and spicy. Corinne had chosen a seat by the window, and she held a pen while browsing through the menu. Then, she raised her head and asked, "Do you take spicy food?"Jeremy, who was sitting opposite her, nodded slightly. "Yes."Corinne grunted in response and chose two spicy soups. The tables

"I'm coming along, Corinne!" said Annie as she stood up to follow Corinne.Sunny put his legs up on the seat, deliberately stopping Annie from following Corinne and Rosie, much to Annie's chagrin."Sunny, what's wrong with you? Move!"Annie rolled her eyes and said, "Uncle, look at him…"Jeremy slowly averted his gaze from Corinne's back and gave Annie and Sunny a cold glance. Instantly, both of them fell silent.…In the washroom.After Corinne was done, she left the cubicle to go wash her hands.Rosie, seeing her coming out, went over to pass Corinne her jacket. She sheepishly said, "Corinne, can you please hold on to my jacket? I just realized there's no hook to hang the jacket."Corinne nodded. She drew out some tissues to wipe her hands dry before taking Rosie's jacket.After a while, Rosie came out from the cubicle. As she washed her hand, she looked at Corinne apologetically. "Sunny has always been a blabbermouth child since he was a kid. I hope you won't take it into

'Does that mean Mister suspects I stole the watch like Sunny and the other people, too?' Corinne thought.Come to think of it, they were not a real couple; trust never existed between them. Despite feeling a little disappointed, she did not care too much about it.She shook her head and answered calmly, "I didn't take it."No one could tell what Jeremy was feeling because of his cold expression. He responded calmly, "Alright, then. Let's go."The strong smell of food in the restaurant was making him uncomfortable, and he did not feel like staying for longer.Sunny was shocked to hear Jeremy saying they were leaving. He frowned vehemently as he found it hard to accept having things ended this way. He swiftly ran over and spread his arms to stop Jeremy from leaving."Jeremy, why are you believing her when she was caught red-handed?"Jeremy's long eyes squinted. "The watch didn't go missing, did it now? What else do you want her to do?"Sunny stubbornly argued, "But she's a thief!

The next day, Corinne arrived at the coffee shop near Starry Bridge at 3 p.m. as she was told. The coffee shop had a simple and elegant design. It was very quiet. There were only a couple and a man with glasses busy working with his laptop in the shop.After picking a place to sit down, she ordered a cup of coffee and a dessert. As she was enjoying her dessert, she started to monitor the people around her.The couple looked like they were on a blind date as they politely asked about each other's favorites and hobbies. There was nothing suspicious about them.The man with the glasses was tapping nonstop on the keyboard, and his eyes never left the screen.Who sent her the text message? Could they not have arrived?"Corinne!"She looked up when she heard a familiar voice. "Mister Richard?"It was her boss, Richard Channing from when she was working as an intern at Alpha Enterprises.Richard had gotten fatter. Corinne felt like she could feel oil squeezing out of his face when Ric
