The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 281

Chapter 281

‘Oh, he didn’t sleep a wink because he and Anya had spent the night experiencing the miracles of life!‘ Corinne remembered.

Jeremy frowned when he saw the look of disgust on her face.” Do I disgust you? All men have beards, you know.”

Corinne came back to her senses, got up from him, and shook her head after moving a little away. “No. You look handsome with a beard.”

Whether or not he grew a beard had nothing to do with her, so the question of liking or disliking it did not arise.

“You think I’m handsome, then?” There was a surge of heat in Jeremy’s expression, for it was rare to hear her say something nice about him.

Corinne remained calm. “Your handsomeness is a fact. My opinion doesn’t matter.”

“Is that why you are so cold toward me?”

“Am I supposed to be super friendly with you just because you’re handsome? There are plenty of handsome men out there, so am I supposed to get close to all of them?”

Jeremy’s complexion darkened. He dragged her over, sat her down on the sofa with a sullen face, and abruptly placed the cake plate in front of her as he said coldly, “Don’t think about that stuff. Eat your cake!”

Corinne snorted unhappily when she was forced to sit. ‘Yeah, yeah, I’ll eat it!‘

Her hands might be swollen, but she could still hold the fork- albeit with some effort.

She no longer kicked up a fuss and merely sat on the sofa while eating her cake. From time to time, she glanced at Jeremy’s laptop screen too. He had stopped causing trouble and continued to focus on reviewing the documents on his laptop. Occasionally, the long fingers of his hands would dance on the keys as if to make annotations on the documents he was reviewing.

Corinne felt unbearably bored, so she sucked on the cake fork and asked, “When can I be discharged from the hospital, Mister?”

“In another three days at least.”

‘Three days! That’s too long!‘ Corinne did not want to stay in the hospital, so she negotiated with him. “I’ll be fine as long as I don’t come into contact with allergens, right? I want to go home to recuperate. Can I? Please…”

The man turned around, and as soon as he saw Corinne was about to put a cake in her mouth, he raised his handsome eyebrows and opened his mouth at her.

Corinne was taken aback for a moment when she saw that. ‘Is he…begging me for the cake? And what’s with that tiny hint of threat in his eyes? Is he saying that I have to feed him if I am to have the smallest chance of discussing this with him?‘

She was a little upset after coming to realize what he meant, but since she did not want to stay in the hospital for three more days, she decided to set down the cake that she had not yet eaten and reach out to get a new fork to feed him.
