The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 315

Chapter 315

By contrast, Corinne lived her entire life with no one and nothing to rely on. For every hardship and problem she encountered, she would have to face everything and find every solution by herself. Though her confidence had been tempered by those experiences, she wondered if she would be grateful for the sufferings that made her stronger if she looked back.

Her answer to that was a resounding no. Given the choice, not a single person on earth would want to go through suffering.

Anya’s soft and kind voice drifted into Corinne’s ears. “I’ve already apologized to Corinne for the misunderstanding, Jeremy! It’s because of Rosie’s moment of confusion that she made such a mistake! She’s not an inherently bad person though, and you should know that after being friends with her for so many years!

“Could you help me persuade Corinne not to pursue the matter and just let it slide this one time? Please? The police said that Rosie won’t be locked up if neither I nor Corinne pursue the matter any further.”

Corinne smiled sarcastically and turned to look at Jeremy, for she was curious to see if he would agree to help the apple of his eye after she pleaded so tenderly with him.

Jeremy had an insipid expression, and one could not tell what he was thinking behind the wisp of smoke. He calmly exhaled the smoke and said, “Such incidents have happened more than once, and it’s not Rosie’s first time trying to harm my wife. I won’t agree to let this matter go, even if my wife says she’s willing to do so.”

Corinne was startled, and she stared blankly at him while recalling what he just said.

“Jeremy…” Anya was shocked too, and she lowered her head in disappointment. “Okay. I understand…”

Jeremy stubbed out the cigarette, walked past Anya, and strode toward Corinne. “It’s time to go home,” he said in a firm manner.

Corinne was still in a daze when Jeremy held her hand, opened the door, and guided her into the car. He then bent down to fasten her seat belt and closed the door. When he went back to the front of the car and walked to the driver’s seat, he passed by Anya again and stopped briefly to say to her, “You should go home, too. Lucas is waiting for you.”
