The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1209

Corinne nodded. "Yeah, I'm going back to the city to give birth. I left your phone in the drawer. I've already switched it off, so you can see if you have any missed calls. Thank you for everything."

After that, she started making her way out with Xante and Aaron.

Jason could not accept her leaving just like that. He looked so confused and lost.

"Did something happen last night? Why would you suddenly want to leave?" he asked after he blocked her path.

"Jeremy knows about this place. He came last night, so you're going to be in a lot of trouble if I continue to stay there. It's best if I just go back home," said Corinne with resignation.

'Jeremy came last night?' thought Jason with shock. He looked deeply into her eyes. "Corinne, do you really think I'd care about getting into trouble? I wouldn't have helped you in the first place if I'm worried about crossing Jeremy."

"I know you don't care, but there's no point for me to hide out here since he already found out where I am. Plus, it'll be more convenient for me to go to the hospital from my own place. As for what's going to happen next, well, I'll leave that for future Corinne to worry about."

Jason was silent for a few seconds. He then nodded and said, "Okay. I understand. Please let me know when you get home safely."

"Sure thing."

Jason gave her a send-off. After that, he narrowed his eyes and thought, 'Seems like Jeremy found out sooner than I expected.'

…

Two hours later, they finally got back to the city.

Aaron turned his head back and asked, "Boss, do you want to have lunch first or go back home?"

"Lunch can wait. Drive me to the office first. I want to read the financial reports from the last six months."

Corinne had not heard. "You're waiting for someone? Who?"

She instinctively glanced at Aaron when she asked the question.

Aaron's expression remained impassive. He looked quietly at Annie, and when he noticed Corinne glancing at her, he shrugged innocently and said, "Don't look at me, Boss. I'm not the person she's waiting for."

Annie glanced at Aaron impassively. "Mister Aaron is right. I didn't come for him. I'm actually waiting for my boyfriend to come down. Corinne, it's been such a long time since I last saw you, so why don't you join us for lunch? I'll ask Uncle Jeremy to come too. Boy, is he going to be surprised when he sees you!"

'Annie is in a relationship?' Corinne realized just how many things she missed.

She shook her head lightly. "It's okay. You guys go ahead. I don't want to be a third wheel. By the way, you don't have to wait here. You can come up with me to wait for your boyfriend upstairs."
