The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 71

As soon as Corinne heard someone calling her, she stopped walking and turned around.

A handsome boy chased after her and was trying to catch his breath.

He was a third-year student.

Corinne asked curiously, “What’s the matter, Chester? Is there something you need from me?”

The shy boy rubbed the back of his head awkwardly and smiled sincerely as he said to her, ” Congratulations on your successful graduation!”

Corinne smiled. “Thanks.”

Chester wanted to say something else, but he noticed the imposing man beside her and asked, ” Umm… Who is he?”

“An uncle of mine!” Corinne answered without hesitation.

Jeremy was speechless to hear that.

As soon as Chester was told that Jeremy was one of Corinne’s elders, he immediately bowed politely and said, “Nice to meet you, sir!”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes coldly. He had a gloomy gaze and ignored Chester’s greeting.

Chester did not seem bothered about Jeremy’s presence and said to Corinne with a slight blush, “I have something to talk to you about in private, Corinne. Will that be alright?”

Corinne nodded. “Wait here for me, Uncle!” she said, then followed Chester to a more secluded

place to chat. The two of them stood by the window in the corridor and talked. Chester then pulled off the second jacket button midway through the conversation and handed it to Corinne. She took it, looked at it, and smiled.

Jeremy cocked an eyebrow when he saw that.

Tommy has always been adept at understanding and deciphering unspoken expressions. As soon as he saw the puzzled expression on Jeremy’s face, he immediately said without waiting for Jeremy to ask, “Sir, in some comics, the second button of a person’s clothes symbolizes something close to the heart. That boy is probably saying that he’s willing to give his heart to Corinne.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Jeremy narrowed his eyes and was appalled that she decided to accept something with such a

meaning.

He vaguely remembered Corinne remarking that she liked well-behaved and obedient pretty boys who would call her ‘mommy’. He wondered if the kid talking to her was exactly that sort of boy.

Jeremy’s lip twitched, and he asked, “Do all students experience puppy love?”

Tommy replied awkwardly, “Umm… Sir, university students are already adults. It’s not considered puppy love.”

Jeremy lit a cigarette and watched the two people chatting not too far away. They were at an age

where they were just beginning to discover love and relationships. Even the tiniest of actions was enough to make them blush.

Corinne stretched out her hand and touched the boy’s head. Though there was no way to make out what she was saying, the smile on her face was rather obvious. Her height was barely the same as the boy, yet she patted his head like she was his elder sister.

Jeremy took a deep puff of his cigarette, exhaled, and stubbed out the remaining half of the cigarette before throwing it into the trash can.

Jeremy said nothing even after they got in the car, and Corinne did not take the initiative to talk to him either. She merely lowered her head and fiddled with her phone to answer Aaron’s messages.

The car was just about to leave the campus when Francine suddenly appeared and stopped them. Francine opened the car door, got in, and said with a smile, “Jeremy! Corinne! Can I get a ride home too?”

Jeremy looked up and stared coldly at her. “Are you planning on skipping your classes?”

Francine cowered. “What? No! I just don’t have any class this afternoon…”

Jeremy ignored her and raised his chin to signal for his driver to drive.

Francine sat next to Corinne in a rare show of cordialness. “I never knew you were a student here

at the University of New Capital City! Why haven’t I seen you in school before!”

Corinne looked at the stark change in Francine’s attitude and smiled. “I wasn’t at school much because I was busy with my senior year internship

“I see!”
