The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400

Corinne neither liked Anya nor had any interest in chatting with her, but her actions seemed to suggest that she had something to say to Corinne.

However, speaking to Anya face-to-face would be better than having to deal with Anya’s behind-the-scenes scheming. Corinne withdrew her arm, patted the creases on her sleeves, and nodded to Anya as she curled her lips slightly and said, ” Let’s talk then.”

Anya’s expression froze because Corinne’s action of

withdrawing her arm was a clear sign that she rejected Anya’s touch. At that moment, Anya’s deer-like eyes blinked blankly, as if innocent, pitiful, and unsure of what it was that she had done wrong.

Corinne was chewing on her barbecued meat when she froze as soon as she heard what Anya said. She turned her head to look at Anya and asked with a frown, “When were you two in a relationship?”

Anya then raised her hand to cover her mouth, as if she had just realized that she had misspoke. “Oh, didn’t Jeremy tell you? Umm… I’m sorry about that, Corinne. Guess I said something I shouldn’t have. Just pretend you didn’t hear anything and don’t take it to heart!”
