The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 759

After hanging up the phone, Jeremy looked up and noticed Corinne walking toward him. "What's the matter? Don't you like the firework show?"

Corinne sat beside him and said nonchalantly, "I do, but it was getting kinda boring. It was just one beautiful explosion after another, so I decided to come in."

Jeremy narrowed his eyes and hugged her. "Did something happen? Why do you sound so unhappy?"

Corinne was indeed unhappy with him for being on the phone for so long. "Mister, what did Anya say to you?"

"She wanted me to visit Joey 'cause he's having a fever."

"Then why are you still here?" Corinne asked with a scoff.

Jeremy could hear the sarcasm in her voice. "Why would I go there? It's not like I can cure him. Besides, I've asked my men to get the best doctor in the city to check on Joey."

"Are you sure you don't know how to cure people?" asked Corinne with a sarcastic smile.

"Yeah. Why do you ask?" Jeremy questioned with a raise of his eyebrow.

"Well, I'm pretty sure you're the only one who can cure Miss Anya's lovesickness."

The smile disappeared from Jeremy's face, replaced by a frown. He could tell Corinne was mocking him, so he gazed solemnly into her eyes before pulling her into a tight embrace. Stroking her hair, he said, "I know this is on me…but I promise you I'm only concerned about their safety and nothing else."

Corinne fit perfectly against Jeremy's body. Listening to the rhythmic gentle beating of his heart gave her a sense of comfort so great that she nearly fell asleep.
