The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 756

Jeremy frowned when he saw the name on the screen but answered the call nonetheless.

"Jeremy, where are you?" Anya asked anxiously from the other end of the phone.

"I'm at Lunar Century Manor."

"Oh… What are you doing there?" asked Anya awkwardly.

Instead of answering her question, Jeremy asked, "Why are you calling me?"

"Umm… Joey has been puking and crying for you. I know you must be in the middle of something, but can you please come see him for a while? He really needs you right now," said Anya pitifully.

Jeremy glanced at Corinne before asking, "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said Joey's physically fine. The puking is a normal side-effect of brain concussion…but I'm more worried about him getting traumatized by what happened. Joey really needs his daddy to comfort him right now."

Jeremy fell silent, so silent that Corinne said to him, "You can go to them if you want."

She did not need to hear their conversation to guess that it was Anya on the other side of the phone. It was always the same old story—Anya called him to tell him 'Joey needed his daddy right now, so can he come and spend time with them'?

Jeremy immediately hung up when he heard what Corinne said. He cocked his head at her and brought the dessert to her mouth. "Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere today."

Corinne was surprised to hear that. After all, Jeremy always rushed off the moment he received a call from his savior. It was certainly rare for him to be able to resist Anya's emotional blackmailing.

After finding out the baby in Corinne's womb was his, he did some homework and learned that it was easy for a pregnant woman to get gestational diabetes, Corinne should avoid sweet things for the moment. Thus, he had no choice but to use tough love on her.

Lucas sighed and placed the dessert back on the table. 'Oh well. At least I tried to connect with her.' Also, he knew it was Anya who called Jeremy, and it did not take a genius to figure out what she wanted Jeremy to do. Thinking of all this made his head hurt.

All of a sudden, Annie raised her glass. "Here's a toast to Uncle Jeremy and Corinne! I wish the two of you a long and happy marriage."

Jeremy and Corinne exchanged glances with each other before raising their glasses to accept Annie's blessings.

However, after seeing how they held their glass, Annie quickly said, "No! That won't do. The two of you have to intertwine your arms at the elbows like this and drink from your glass in a cross-armed style. Come on, everybody—let's cheer them on!"
