The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 705

Jeremy held Corinne's hand and led her slowly toward the door. Just as they stepped out of the kitchen, a cane swung through the air, clearly aimed at Corinne!

Jeremy reacted quickly, intercepting the cane and shielding the girl behind him. When he looked closely, it turned out to be Cedric Rivera.

Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows. "And what does Mister Cedric want to do?"

Lucas, too, showed surprise. "Grandpa?"

Ignoring them, Cedric stared fixedly at Corinne with a weathered, sharp gaze. He pulled his cane from Jeremy's grip and pointed it at Corinne. "Were you the one speaking just now?"

Corinne was also startled with a hint of confusion on her face. Why did the Riveras react so dramatically one after another?

She regained her composure and nodded. "Yes, I was the one speaking. Is something wrong?"

Cedric trembled, his gaze intense and piercing. He scrutinized Corinne from head to toe with an enigmatic air. "Young girl, have we met somewhere before?"

Facing the old man's question, Corinne did not rush to answer. Instead, she raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lucas beside her. As expected, she saw a hint of wariness in his handsome, aloof eyes. If she were to admit that she had met the old man before and explain the circumstances of their last encounter, it would seem like she was seeking recognition from the old man, and someone as broad-minded as Lucas would think she was trying to climb the social ladder by deliberately getting close to his grandfather!

After a moment's thought, Corinne did not really care if the old man remembered her or not. She thus shook her head and said, "I don't think we've met before. You must've mistaken me for someone else."

Her answer made Lucas pause slightly, his gaze filled with a hint of inquiry.
