The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391

“An explanation is in order.”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes. His gaze was focused solely on

Corinne, and he did not even bother to look at Sherlyn’s shy expression. He stretched out his big hand, took the suitcase from Corinne, and handed it to Bowen, who stood beside him.

He then asked, “What’s all this fuss about?”

As Jeremy asked that question, he placed his arms around Corinne’s waist and pulled her into his arms, as if worried that she might leave for real.

Corinne felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to hug her in front of other people, so she pushed his chest to try and break free. Alas, she could not do so, and she could only shrug helplessly as she spread his arms and began explaining.

“Well, it all started when you went to the Carews to fetch your bride, which you were supposed to do by going through the main entrance. However, you went through the back door and brought me away! Now that this secret has been exposed and they found out that you picked up the wrong person that day, Sherlyn came to settle scores with me and demanded that I return the position of Missus Holden to her.

“My sister is right. The woman you were supposed to marry in the beginning was me. It’s due to my sister’s penchant for

Jeremy listened and glanced suspiciously at Sherlyn. At that moment, he finally understood why Corinne’s family showed up uninvited that day. The polite expression that he had disappeared in an instant.

Rather than looking at Sherlyn, he gazed down at the girl in his arms and asked unhappily, “Why did you have to make a fuss when they’re the ones who are causing trouble?”

Corinne pouted. “I didn’t make a fuss! You just married the wrong person! She’s the one you should have married, and she even wore a wedding dress to wait for you at their home that day!”

Jeremy’s expression sank. “Enough with that nonsense.”

Despite his anger, he did not speak too harshly to Corinne but instead toned his anger down and talked to her as if he was instructing a child. He wanted her to know just how serious the matter was, but at the same time, he was afraid that he
