Semua Bab The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Inside the emergency room, the doctor on duty applied a bit of pressure on Corinne's lower abdomen, asked her if she felt anything locally, and told the nurse to fetch another doctor to feel her pulse.The elderly doctor frowned after being called over to check on Corinne. He turned to Jeremy, who was standing at one side, and asked, "Has she been taking a lot of supplements recently?"The hours Jeremy spent at home could be counted on one hand, so he did not know much about Corinne's diet. Tommy stepped forward and said, "Sir, I was told by the housekeeper that the old lady has recently been cooking all sorts of soup for Miss Corinne, and she's been eating that for all her meals too. Miss Corinne was even given some of the special millennia-old herbs that the old lady collected. Might this be the cause, perhaps?"The old doctor shook his head as soon as he heard that. "You're young and healthy. Why are you taking all these supplements? You'll get heaty if you eat too much of them,

Jeremy's smile grew wider when he saw Corinne flustered with embarrassment. "My friend, the key to playing the role of a good wife is to learn to call your husband by his first name. Do you think it makes sense for a wife to call her husband 'mister' all the time?""Call you by your name?" Corinne thought about his suggestion and had a look of disgust on her face. "Ugh, forget about it! I'll probably get goosebumps if I do that!"There were only a handful of people in this world who were allowed to call him by his first name only, yet she was reluctant to do so.Jeremy's face darkened, and he pressed her abdomen a little harder.The extra pressure made her feel uncomfortable, so she frowned and said, "Ah, not so hard! It hurts!"Her voice was weak due to her period pains, and the phrase 'not so hard' sounded very ambiguous and seductive in a big bedroom where only the two of them were there.They were both taken aback for a moment, and their gazes froze for a moment as they looke

It had been a while since they last met, and the dean exchanged a few pleasantries with Corinne before getting to the point. "The graduation ceremony for your batch is next Monday, Corinne. As one of the school's special graduates, you should bring your parents to the graduation ceremony. The school hopes that you and your parents will be able to speak on stage and share your journey toward achieving success."Corinne refused politely. "I'm sorry. I don't have parents.""Nonsense! What do you mean you have no parents? It's written clearly on your file that both your father and stepmother are alive!""Sir, I—" Someone on the other end of the phone seemed to have called for the principal. He answered them right away and said hurriedly to Corinne, "Please remember to bring your parents on Monday. And come early, too!" The principal hung up right after.Corinne was miffed. She had parents, but their absence in her life meant that it was the same as not having them. After all, Marvin ra

On the ceremony stage, Ivanka Poplin, a top student in the University of New Capital City's music department, was delivering her graduation speech with her father standing right beside her. Both father and daughter were teary-eyed and filled with emotion for the four years of university life."Ivanka's father is so handsome! And he's so young too!""Ivanka is the most beautiful student on campus, so it's pretty obvious that she inherited her parents' good genes!""Whoa, Ivanka's father said he'd donate three pianos to the school's music department! They're so rich!""I really envy Ivanka's life! She has such an amazing family background, her parents dote on her a lot, and she's both pretty and smart!"Ivanka delivered her graduation speech with her father and she went down the stage feeling pride as she listened to the praise and envy of her peers.Backstage, she saw Corinne sitting quietly at the end for her turn to go on stage.According to international practice, the person w

"She's a b*tch!" Francine could not bring herself to reveal that Corinne was her brother's wife. It was a privilege she would rather not give Corinne!Her classmate felt a little awkward and did not know why Francine hated Corinne so much. "Well... Whatever it is, your family is super rich! It's amazing how you can just make donations on a whim!"The Holdens have always kept a low profile, and although everyone in the school knew that Francine was a daughter of a wealthy family, they were unaware that her family was the Holdens—an elite upper-class family. Furthermore, no one had any idea that her brother was Jeremy, the Holdens' eldest son!Francine was not in the mood to hear that sort of flattery. "Is my brother still in school?" she asked."He's probably discussing the building donation in the dean's office right now!" her classmate answered.Francine got up, rushed out of the classroom, and took out her cell phone angrily to call Richard."Hey! Didn't you say that you were g
