The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1275

"So I'll be able to see Nellie Nymphaea's painting at Sophia's birthday party tomorrow?" asked Corinne.

Xante nodded. "If everything goes to plan, then yes."

Corinne's interest was instantly piqued. "Where's the invitation?"

Annie snapped out of her trance and quickly went to get the invitation for her. "Here's the invitation, Corinne."

Corinne took the invitation and clutched it tightly. "I've decided I'm going to the birthday party."

Xante had expected that, so she was not surprised at all. "If that's the case, I'll get someone to make a custom tailor dress for you."

Corinne nodded.

Xante immediately went out to arrange Corinne's dress. There was no time to lose since the birthday party would be happening the following night.

Annie watched dazedly as Xante left the room. After that, she moved closer to Corinne and asked curiously, "Corinne, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Corinne frowned at her. "Mind your own business, Annie."

"Oh, come on, don't be like that… Who's Nellie Nymphaea? Is she an artist you really like?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? Are you planning to relay what you find out to your uncle?"

Corinne changed into her custom-tailored dress and put on some light makeup. She actually found the dress uncomfortable since she was eight months pregnant and had gotten a little fatter than before. However, it would be even more uncomfortable for her if she attracted unwanted attention by wearing something unsuitable for the party.

Her dress was pink and made of real silk, showing off her tanned skin. She looked endearing in that dress. She did not really do anything to her hair as she decided a simple updo hairstyle would do.

Two cars were waiting for her when she got down from her apartment. One was arranged by Xante and the other by Jeremy with Tommy acting as the driver. Not wasting time deciding, Corinne walked toward the car Xante hired for her, but Tommy stopped her mid-way.

"Miss Corinne, please get into my car. Mister Jeremy insisted for me to drive you there," he said.

Corinne frowned. "Why should I get into your car? We're going in the same direction, so why can't I go in the other car?"

"Mister Jeremy is worried that it won't be as safe for you to go in other people's car as you'd be in mine since you're pregnant and all. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry."
