The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 106

Corinne shut her eyes momentarily as though tired. The exhausted expression made her endearing face look stern.

She said, “Mister, I hope we’ll have more trust for each other. You don’t have to be so guarded and fear I’d cheat on you. Please give me some space! I told you I’d never have an affair before the three months are over. Just trust me on that!”

Jeremy looked at her unblinkingly. “You thought I was worried about you?”

Corinne looked up, tilted her head, and looked at him with her widened eyes. “What else could it be? You wouldn’t have gone to the party ground that’s not even to your liking, and you wouldn’t have come into the room to check on mine and embarrass my classmate if you weren’t worried about me!”

Jeremey said faintly, “Miss Carew, please remember about our partnership. Inevitably, I hold partial responsibility for your safety during these three months. I’m not suspecting you, but the things that have me worrying are those male classmates around you. Can’t you tell they have ulterior motives toward you?”

Corinne did not think it was a problem. “I’m not stupid; of course I can tell! But I can take care of myself, and I won’t let them do anything to me.”

Jeremy snorted. “You won’t let them do anything to you, you say? Didn’t you raise the glass and want to drink it when they cheered with you?”

“Err… It was just a glass of cocktail!” Corinne furrowed her eyebrows and seriously thought Jeremy was making a big fuss about it.
