The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1204

Jason reached out and flicked Corinne's forehead. "What do you think? It's my selfish desire for you, of course. If I can get you and your child out of the country, I still stand a chance of being with you! That chance is gone if the Holdens find you! Are you that dull, or are you just pretending to be dull?"

Corinne touched her slightly sore forehead. "Hehe! Then my advice to you is to just give up! I know you've helped me a lot in the past six months, but I can give you anything except for my feelings."

Jason sighed in self-pity. "Why are you so nervous, silly? I'm not going to force you!"

He was using 'silly' as if it was a form of endearment.

Corinne felt a little awkward and glared at him. "Have you had enough rest? You should make your way back soon if that's the case. The street lights aren't bright here in the suburbs. It's unsafe for you to drive alone! You should head back as soon as you can."

Jason's charming face leaned close to her, and he snorted flirtingly. "Hmph. Why aren't you offering to let me stay for the night if you know it's not safe here?"

Corinne was not prepared to make that kind of offer. "Because it's inappropriate. Don't you have to go to the company and deal with work tomorrow morning? It's best if you head home."

He had postponed a company meeting until the next day when he came to fetch her at the last minute. Many matters required his attention when he went back. However, he was still rather reluctant to leave, so he took another step forward and bowed respectfully to her. "I'll come and see you again in a few days. I hope you'll accept me and make things official with me. I want to have the legitimate right to take care of you and your child. I hope you'll think it over."

He then gave her a sudden peck on her forehead.

Corinne was stunned when he did that. By the time she came back to her senses, all she saw was Jason's rear figure walking out of the gate. She then heard him rev up his engine before driving off.

The warmth from Jason's farewell kiss lingered on her forehead, and she remained in a daze even after he left.

Jason did a lot for her during the past six months. She did not know how to feel toward his gesture.

As she pondered over his request to 'make things official', a telephone ringtone interrupted her thoughts.

'How did he find me? I'm not wearing that fake face. It's over!'

Jeremy's handsome face was expressionless, and he glanced down at her with a dull look.

Corinne expected Jeremy to grab her angrily and ask her why she ran away, but he did not do that at all. He kept quiet and looked coldly at her before glancing disdainfully at the furnishings in the hallway behind her.

The atmosphere was so stifling that Corinne could not help herself from speaking first. "What are you doing here, Mister Jeremy?"

Jeremy glanced at her again. His expression turned even colder, and he pursed his lips into a lukewarm smile. He then gracefully took two steps back and turned around to return to his car. He started the engine, reversed the car, and drove off.

Corinne pinched herself unconsciously as she stood at the door in a daze and watched the car speed off.
