The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1158

Corinne never met a guy as crazy as Jason!

She looked at him with disapproval and said, "You can forget about the whole thing. I don't plan to have a second child, nor do I plan to find a stepfather for my kid."

Jason pretended to be hurt. "But Corinne, I took a big risk to help you escape from the Holdens. Also, you promised to date me for a month in return for helping you."

"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten my promise. But, dating and marriage are different things, so you better give up the idea of us going any further than a date. I'm already too tired to give marriage another try."

Jason gazed deeply into her eyes before reaching out to touch her, but his hand froze when he saw Corinne shrink back. He put down his hand and smiled to hide his embarrassment.

"Don't worry. I know you're still feeling hurt over what Jeremy did to you, so I'm willing to give you some time. I trust that one day, you'll accept my feelings for you."

At that moment, Corinne was not in a headspace to think about all that stuff. "Thank you for your help today. I'll take your advice to stay here for a few days. You can go back to work now."

Jason smiled forlornly. "Corinne, you really know how to kick a person away after using them."

Corinne chuckled wryly and said, "Oh, I'm not done using you at all."

Jason was speechless.

"By the way, don't tell Lucas about this," added Corinne as an afterthought.

Jason nodded solemnly. "I know. But he'll definitely be worried about you."

Corinne fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "I don't care whether he's worried or not. The less people know that I'm here, the better my chances of escaping from this city."
