The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 720

After coming out of the bedroom, Jeremy checked the time on his watch. "Let her sleep for now. You have my permission to wake her up at ten so that she could have her breakfast," said Jeremy to Bowen, who was standing not far away in anticipation of his orders.

Bowen bowed and nodded deferentially. "Yes, Mister Jeremy. You can rest assured Ma'am would be well taken care of."

"Good." Jeremy then strode toward the staircase but he stopped when he came to the first flight down. He turned his head around and added, "Make sure she doesn't eat too much junk food or cold drinks."

Bowen had never seen this side of Jeremy so he was understandably shocked. After a while, he finally said, "Okay, I'll make sure of that."

Jeremy found himself to be missing Corinne even before he left the house. He had never missed someone so much in his life. 'So this is how it feels to love someone so much that you can't even bear to be a second apart from her…'

Corinne's sudden disappearance previously had left an indelible scar in his heart. He was so traumatized by what happened that it had become a sort of neurosis for him. He looked at the closed bedroom for a while as though worried about the same thing happening before finally going down the stairs.

…

After Jeremy left, Francine came out of the corner unhappily. She had heard everything he said to Bowen. 'Bowen, do this for Corinne. Bowen, do that for Corinne. Pah! He's going to spoil her rotten.'

Francine did not understand why Jeremy cared about Corinne so much. How could Corinne, a country hick, ever compete with Anya, a socialite? Francine had been against Corinne from the get go. She wished Jeremy would marry Anya instead of Corinne. Therefore, she thought it was a good time to get rid of Corinne now that Jeremy was out of the house.

Bowen could not stop her this time and considering the fact Corinne was still sleeping, he thought it would be inappropriate for him to go in. He quickly summoned several maids and ordered them to drag Francine out of Corinne's bedroom but to their horror, they discovered Francine had locked the door.

'What the h*ll is Miss Francine doing in there?' Bowen quickly went to look for the spare key.

…

When Francine entered the bedroom, she saw Corinne was wide awake and scrolling through her phone on the bed. Corinne's lazy demeanor infuriated Francine. The thought of Corinne being all comfortable while she herself was locked up in the detention center for half a month sent her into a raging frenzy.
