The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1402

Jeremy glared at Sophia to let her know she misspoke.

Sophia never received such icy treatment from Jeremy before. Even though he looked pale and harmless sitting in a wheelchair, she could not help but feel chilled to her bones by Jeremy's threatening aura.

"From the way I see it, Corinne growing up in the countryside is one of her strengths and not something to be ashamed of. I alone know how capable she is, and I feel like I've used up all of my luck for three lives for her to agree to marry me.

"Plus, I don't need my wife to come from the same status or background as me. It doesn't matter where she came from or what her background is… All of that isn't important to me, because the most important thing to me is that I love her."

'I love her…' Those three little words caused Sophia's face to darken.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Jeremy, why don't you underst—"

"I understand everything now. I understand why you volunteered to help me out back then," interrupted Jeremy impatiently. "You say you're helping me out as a friend, but you never planned to revoke our marriage from the start. Don't make me hate you completely when I've lost the gratitude I felt for you already."

Sophia's heart ached when she heard the word 'hate' from the lips of the man she had been secretly loving for the past 10 years. After all, it took her a lot of courage to finally tell him how she felt, and all she got in return was his annoyance and hate.

After a long while, she suddenly smiled bitterly as though she had given up. "Sorry to disappoint you, Jeremy. Think nothing of it, then."
