The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1164

"Francine, you should be sleeping. Why are you here making a ruckus in your brother's room?" came Pamela's tired voice from the hallway.

She could not sleep out of worry for Corinne, so she got up to see what was going on when she heard Francine shouting. A minute later, she pushed open the door.

"Grandma, Jeremy has brought a woman home. She claims she's a very good friend of his. I asked her to go sleep in the guest room, but she insisted on sleeping here 'cause she doesn't want the bad energy in the guest room to affect her luck," said Francine as soon as she saw Pamela. "Don't you think she's doing this on purpose?"

Pamela looked to where Francine was pointing and was stunned by the woman standing there.

"Hello, Grandma! I'm Sophia," she greeted Pamela warmly. "Sorry if I've woken you up from your sleep."

Pamela nodded after she snapped out of her shock. "You're more than welcome to stay since you're already here, but not in this room. You can stay in Francine's room, and she can go stay in the guest room."

"Great! Thanks, Grandma," said Sophia happily.

Francine was not happy about the arrangement at all. "Grandma, why did you say she can sleep in my room? I won't allow it!"

Pamela glared at her sternly. "Is this really the way to treat a guest?! She's your brother's friend and has come a long way from abroad. The least we could do is to make her stay comfortable. Now, go and get your room ready for Miss Sophia!"

Francine did not understand why Pamela would take an outsider's side.

"But Grandma, Joey is sleeping in my room right now. It took me a lot of effort to coax him to sleep, so you can't possibly expect me to wake him up, right?"

"You don't have to wake him up. Just quietly carry him to the guest room!"

Pamela remained standing where she was. She looked meaningfully at Jeremy and Corinne's bed before leaving the room and closing the door with a gentle click.

…

Meanwhile, Corinne was tossing and turning in the unfamiliar bedroom. Unable to sleep, she decided to play some games on the tablet. She was at the climax of the game when the doorbell suddenly rang.

'Who could it be?' she thought with alarm. 'Jason said no one has lived in this apartment for a long time, so who would possibly come at this hour? I hope it's not Jeremy's men!'

She put down the tablet, got out of the bed quietly, and tiptoed to the main door's peephole. However, the only thing she saw was an eye staring back at her, giving her a shock.

Then, before she could figure out what was happening, she heard Jason's cheeky voice coming from the corridor. "Don't worry. You can open the door. It's me, Jason."
