The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1133

'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 must've been really worried about Corinne getting hurt during her pregnancy to do this…" said Annie with some embarrassment.

"It's okay. Tell them we'll accept the security check."

"Right away, Mister Aaron."

After Annie gave Bowen the green light, Bowen asked the servants to perform a comprehensive security check on Aaron and Xante.

At the same time, the supplements they bought were declined.

Corinne looked calm when she saw Aaron and Xante, but she did not meet their gaze.

Annie stood up and rushed excitedly over to her. "Oh my god, Corinne! The security here is so strict. In fact, it's even stricter than the airport's! We had to go through security checks before we were allowed in. They wouldn't even let us bring in the supplements we bought for you."

Corinne smiled tepidly. "You can thank your Uncle Jeremy for that."

Annie chuckled wryly. "I admit, he did go a little overboard. But it's all done out of consideration for you and the baby. He must be worried about you since he's not by your side."

Corinne smiled mockingly and said nothing. She sat on the sofa with Joey and looked absent-mindedly at Aaron and Xante. "What are you two doing here?"

Aaron and Xante were relieved to find Corinne unhurt, but then again, they could not help but feel weirded out by the tension in the air.
