The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1048

Xante did not stop what she was doing. After peeling the last of the apple's skin, she cut them into little wedges and fed them to Corinne.

"It's okay. I know how to take care of Corinne since I took care of her in times like this before you two met."

Annie blinked. She could not help but feel something was off when she saw Xante gently feeding Corinne the apple slices.

Even though they both worked in Newmoon Group, Annie rarely talked to Xante while working since Xante was a workaholic who gave off the vibe of 'I'm busy, so don't talk to me unless necessary'.

Thus, it was a little jarring to see the aloof Xante acting so warmly toward Corinne. 'I've never seen this side of her before…'

Just when Annie was trying to figure out the relationship between Corinne and Xante, Francine—never the one to keep what she was thinking to herself—said, "My brother really has his work cut out for him. Not only does he have to worry about other men stealing his wife, but he has to worry about other women stealing his wife too!"

Annie was speechless. She quickly prodded Francine's side to shut her up.

Xante was unfazed by what Francine said. She cut out another apple wedge and fed it to Corinne. "Boss, since Mister Jeremy is on a business trip, why don't you stay at our place once you're discharged from the hospital? I'm worried about leaving you alone with the Holdens."

Corinne thought over Xante's suggestion while chewing the apple.

"No! She's married to my brother, so that makes her a member of our family too! I won't allow her to stay with outsiders. Besides, you're the ones I should be worried about since you all seem to be eyeing my sister-in-law," said Francine.

Corinne's mouth twitched. 'What in god's name is this girl talking about?'
