The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1596

Corinne made herself comfortable and sat on the edge of the bed. "It's the weekend, and I have nothing better to do since I don't have to go to work."

Zachary frowned. "You should avoid coming in the morning. I know you're agile, but there's a big risk you'll get caught whenever you sneak in through the window. You need to be more careful."

Corinne crossed her legs nonchalantly and said, "I'm bold enough to come here because I know I won't get caught."

Zachary felt somewhat powerless and remarked in a sour tone, "Fine. Do whatever you want. It's not like I can tell you what to do."

"Are you angry?" Corinne glanced at him.

Zachary had a sullen expression as he turned his wheelchair to face the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked out and said, "No."

Corinne then uncrossed her legs and approached him. She turned his wheelchair so he was facing her. "Pfft! Where did you get the nerve to be upset with me?"

Zachary looked up at her. "I'm not upset with you. You're simply doing as you please, and I have no right to interfere."

"Is this what you mean when you say you're not upset?" Corinne lifted his chin playfully. "Your expression tells a different story."

Zachary retorted calmly, "My expression has always been like this."

Corinne chuckled. "Oh, please! I've seen you in all your expressions. Do you really think I can't tell when you're upset?"

Zachary felt a heaviness in his chest. Unable to stand nor recall the past, he felt trapped in a quagmire with no means of escape.

Corinne was tired of stooping, so she squatted in front of him and rested her chin on her cupped hands. "Are you mad I came too early in the morning? Or are you mad that I walked in front of the balcony? Maybe you're mad that I interrupted your alone time with Sophia?"

Zachary's irritation dissipated inexplicably when he gazed at her innocent and endearing demeanor. "I'm mad at myself for not being able to protect you and the child."

Corinne's lips raised into a grin. "Then that's justified. You ought to be mad at yourself!"
