The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 762

By then, the firework show had ended and a strong gust was blowing. No one outside the balcony noticed Anya's arrival because of how loud the fireworks were, so they were surprised to see Corinne and Jason talking on the sofa with Jeremy nowhere in sight when they came in.

Zeke sat down and asked, "Corinne, where's Jeremy?"

Corinne pointed at the stairs with her chin. "He went up to the guest room."

Annie sat beside Corinne and asked, "Why did Uncle Jeremy go up there? How could he leave you alone here?"

Corinne did not answer and simply sipped her juice.

Annie, being the easily distractible child she was, did not think too much of it. She quickly took out her phone to show Corinne the photos she took of the firework show. "Look, Corinne. Aren't they beautiful?"

Corinne looked down and saw Annie's firework photos posted online had garnered a high number of likes. She smiled and gave her a nod of approval. "Yeah, they are."

"Right? That's what I think, too!" said Annie happily. She busied herself with replying to the comments under the photos.

Lucas walked over gracefully, carrying with him a gust of cold air. He then carefully sat down beside Corinne and asked gently, "Why didn't you stay till the end of the show? Don't you like the blue fireworks?"

Corinne glanced at him emotionlessly. "No, they were beautiful. Thank you. How much did the firework show cost you? I'll pay it back to you along with the cost of tonight's dinner."

Lucas nearly choked at her words. "The firework show and this dinner are my gifts to you. You don't have to pay me back," he said with a frown.
