"Thank you very much, Mister Jeremy, for your willingness to cooperate!" Aaron could sense that Jeremy's words were not as simple as they seemed, but since he did not know the specific situation, he could only respond accordingly.
Both men fell silent, but the atmosphere between them was extremely tense as if the calm before a storm.
Fortunately, Corinne timely broke the uncomfortable 'tranquility' in the living room by coming out of the bedroom with her luggage.
"Mister, I've packed my bags!" Jeremy remained expressionless, simply nodding slightly in response as he walked toward her from the sofa.
Aaron also stood up, his face filled with 'tenderness' as he asked, "Darling, why are you holding a suitcase? Where are you going without telling your husband?"
Corinne glanced at Aaron, who was still acting affectionate and helplessly tugged at the corner of her mouth. "Enough! Don't call me 'darling' anymore, the cover is blown!"
Aaron was speechless. Damn, the cover is blown?!
Corinne no longer paid attention to Aaron and looked up calmly at Jeremy. "Mister, we can go now!"
To keep the peace, she had to quickly pull Jeremy away to prevent this man from becoming overbearing and causing trouble for Aaron.
Jeremy lowered his gaze and looked at the small suitcase she was holding, raising an eyebrow and reminding her in a deep voice, "What about the cat?"
The cat?
Corinne was momentarily stunned but quickly understood his meaning. She lowered her head and looked at Mimi obediently squatting at Aaron's feet. "Um, we're not taking the cat. It's getting old and doesn't like moving to new environments. I'll come back often to see it."
She would have to come back here often in the future?
Jeremy's brow furrowed, but he did not say anything. He simply took the suitcase from the girl's hand and then wrapped his long arm around her, gently gripping her shoulder. "Let's go then."
Aaron watched the possessive gesture of the man named Huo toward Corinne and felt a strong sense of oppression.
Mister Jeremy's declaration of sovereignty could not be more obvious! Until Jeremy held Corinne and left, Aaron still did not understand the situation. Did he just leave like that? Didn't the boss say not to have any connection with that scumbag from the Holdens anymore?

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
