The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1222

Jeremy scoffed again. "We've already ordered for ourselves. You two can order something else if you want."

"Oh, you've ordered? That's great," said Marcus with a sincere smile. "I'll just order a few of Annie's favorite dishes, then."

Annie fell into deep thought, which made her look like she was in a trance while Marcus called over the waiter to order a few more dishes.

'Uncle Jeremy and Corinne stopped talking after Marcus and I came,' thought Annie. Jeremy's tense expression was as though someone owed him a lot of money. Meanwhile, Corinne was looking out of the restaurant's window absent-mindedly.

'No, this won't do! They're going to break up at this rate! A man should be the first to apologize for this kind of problem to be solved.'

Annie did no doubt Jeremy's holier-than-thou attitude would push Corinne further away.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her mind. 'If I can't persuade Uncle Jeremy, someone else can!'

She quickly texted Francine to tell her Corinne had come back.

…

Meanwhile, at the Holdens' mansion.

Francine did not have class in the afternoon. She just took a shower after getting back from school when she saw Annie's text, stating Corinne had returned. Annie even sent her a photo, which she had taken secretly, of Corinne and Jeremy sitting across each other. They were both clearly displeased.
