The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326

In the subway carriage, Corinne was so overwhelmed by Jeremy’s words that she was starting to feel dizzy. She started to blush crazily, fearing someone might have overheard their conversation even though there was no chance of that happening since the inside of the carriage was filled with a cacophony of other noises. Plus, Jeremy spoke so softly that she was sure that she was the only one who could hear it.

She did not look up at him, and she snorted lightly into his chest. “No thanks. It’s not like I ever saved you before.”

Jeremy hugged her tightly. “Who said you didn’t save me? You were the one who saved me on that rainy night. I knew it was you.”

Corinne’s brain froze. She still felt very embarrassed whenever someone mentioned that night.

“And you were the one who rushed over to save me when I was kidnapped, so we owe each other nothing, nor do you have to be responsible for any aftermath.”

Jeremy could not believe that Corinne would still vehemently push him away even after he confessed his feelings to her. Most of the time, he thought that she was a smart girl, but at times like this, she was so stupid that it made him want to strangle her.

“Are you stupid? I know you’re a good kid, so why do you insist on acting like a brat?”

Jeremy rubbed the back of her head sternly, then lectured softly, “You might be speaking about that incident calmly

now, but I know you struggled with yourself for a long time before making up your mind to save me. That night wasn’t easy on you at all, and it was all my fault.”

Corinne was stunned, and a sniffle escaped her nose. No one had ever taken her feelings so seriously before. Not only could Jeremy see through her and pinpoint the roller–coaster of emotions she was feeling then, but what was even more precious was that he did not mock her.

She had been bullied since childhood when she was at her most helpless and vulnerable. She was unable to fight back, and other people took pleasure in bullying and insulting her. No one cared about her feelings at all.

She could finally protect herself as she had grown up. Everyone around her thought that she was strong, indestructible, and without a soft side to her. As a result, she often ignored her own feelings to the point she had brainwashed herself into thinking that she was fearless and had no weaknesses.

That was until Jeremy came along on a wrecking ball to tear down the walls she had built around herself.

Jeremy suddenly sighed heavily again and whispered, “It seems like it’s not in the cards for me to be romantic. The sea of flowers I prepared for you was all for nothing. You left without even taking a second look. In the end, the words I wanted to say to you that day came out in a noisy and crowded environment exactly like the one we’re in now.”

Corinne looked up at him in surprise. “What? Did you just say that the sea of tulips in Lunar Century Manor was meant for me?”

“Of course.” The way Jeremy was looking at her was as if he was asking for him to praise him.
