The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286

In the quiet hospital corridors, Corinne could be seen hurriedly striding past the nurses‘ station as she made her way to her ward with Jeremy following closely behind her.

Witnessing this, the nurses began to whisper excitedly

between themselves.

“That’s him! That’s him! That man is Miss Anya’s boyfriend!”

“Oh my god! He’s so handsome!”

“But why is he chasing after another girl right now instead of being with Miss Anya in Room 302?”

“Please don’t tell me the three of them are involved in a love triangle!”

A frown immediately appeared on Corinne’s face when she overheard what the nurses said. Annoyed, she sped up her pace.

She turned to close her door once she was back in her ward, but Jeremy quickly blocked the door from closing with his hand. “What is the matter with you?” asked Jeremy through the gap.

“You shouldn’t come in, Mister,” said Corinne as she struggled to close the door.

“Give me a good reason why I shouldn’t go in,” demanded Jeremy with a darkened face.

Corinne nodded and said, “Fine. Move your hand, and I’ll tell you.

Jeremy, being the trusting fool he was, immediately moved his hand only to have the door closed with a bang in his face. Then, he heard the sound of the door being locked from the inside.

He was rendered speechless for a while.

“Don’t be like this. Open the door and let me in!” said Jeremy as he knocked on the door, his patience running thin.

No sound came from inside the ward. Corinne had made up her mind to ignore him completely.

Jeremy furrowed his brow and said, “Corinne Carew, open the door this instant, you hear?”

No sound, still.

Jeremy was at a loss for what to do. He sighed and made up his mind to swallow his pride.

“Hey now, won’t you be a sweetheart and open this door for me? Could you at least tell me what’s wrong? I know it’s my fault that I came back late, and I should be punished for that. But Corinne… Corinne dear…sweetheart…” Jeremy cooed.

Suddenly, Tommy spoke up from behind Jeremy, causing the latter to whip around with a scrunched -up thunderous face.

Tommy had no idea what was happening. All he knew was something was off, so he tried to explain himself, “Umm… Sir, I was caught up in a traffic jam and the food you asked me to buy went cold, so I went back to the same place to get a new one. This here is still hot. Please let Ma’am eat it while it’s still hot.”
