The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1230

Corinne's pregnancy hormones made her more impatient than ever. She was already in a bad mood from seeing Jeremy, and Sophia's nonsensical babbling pushed her to the edge.

Corinne raised her hand, intending to push Sophia out of the way. Just as her fingers brushed her shoulder, Sophia flew out and hit her head on the cashier counter as though propelled by some invisible force. Blood started to trickle down her forehead, causing her to scream out in pain.

Corinne frowned at Sophia's subpar acting. 'I can't believe just a few minutes ago, I thought this woman was smarter than Anya in her manipulation method! Welp, she's not that much smarter after all.'

Corinne did not feel guilty at all as she did not even touch Sophia before she fell on her own accord. 'It's just as well that she fell. I can leave the restaurant now.'

However, she did not even take two steps before Jeremy shouted at her, "Where do you think you're going?!"

Corinne stopped and turned to look at him. "What? Do I need your permission to leave too?"

Jeremy's face darkened. He strode toward where Sophia was on the floor and helped her up before glaring at Corinne. "How can you leave when you're the reason Sophia is so badly hurt?"

"Forget it, Jeremy. I'm okay. Please don't ruin your reunion with Miss Corinne because of me…" said Sophia, pretending to be stoic.

Jeremy scoffed. "I know you mean well, Sophia. But I don't think she's the type to appreciate it."

Sophia shook her head and squeezed out a smile. "I'm fine."

Corinne's eyes had grown icy cold by then. "Mister Jeremy, you should know that she wouldn't let me leave just now so I had no choice but to push her aside."
