The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1142

Francine felt aggrieved but did not dare to talk back to her grandmother. She fiddled with the food on her plate with a fork, and the fork slipped out of her hand.

She was already in a bad mood, and her mood worsened when the fork fell. She muttered something to herself and was about to bend down to pick it up when Chester bent down to take it before could.

Since the fork was already dirty as it fell on the floor, Chester put it aside and handed his clean one to her. "Here. I haven't used this yet."

Francine blushed at Chester's gesture and thanked him.

Chester did not reply and got up before politely bidding Pamela goodbye. He then picked up his backpack and walked out.

As soon as Francine saw that the apple of her eye had left, she felt a little downcast and got up to chase after him.

She ran out to the yard and finally caught up with Chester. She stood in front of him and asked uneasily, "Why did you leave without eating? Are you angry? Do you think I'm in the wrong?"

Chester had an insipid expression as he answered, "Your family's affairs have nothing to do with me. I don't have any particular view to say about what happened."

Though Chester's answer suggested he was not angry, Francine did not think that was so. As stubborn as she was in front of other people, she discarded her attitude and lowered her head to explain, "But Aaron's a jerk. I just couldn't hold my anger back earlier. I hate it when he bullies other girls!"

Chester could not bear to ignore her when she admitted her mistake to him like that.

"You don't need to explain anything to me. This involves your family, and I have no right to say anything. But, I do think you should control your temper, Francine. If you show your dissatisfaction all the time and speak your mind without any filter, society will give you a lot of flak in the future."

Francine blinked in confusion. "But I don't have to go to work in the future. No one's going to do anything to me if I stay at home!"

A row of bodyguards stood guard at the gate. They had a serious look on their faces, and it was a little stressful to be in their presence.

Chester looked at the bodyguards and asked with a frown, "Is your brother treating Corinne as some kind of prisoner?"

Francine looked helplessly at the bodyguards in front of the house. "I have no idea what's going on. It wasn't like this yesterday, but then they had an argument, and it was already like this earlier today!"

The thought of Jeremy left Chester feeling some animosity. He said coldly, "I hope your family will treat Corinne better. She's a good girl!"

After some hesitance, Francine eventually asked him, "I've always wanted to ask you something, Chester. Do you like Corinne?"

Chester kept quiet. He slung his backpack over his left shoulder and left without even turning to look at her.
