The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 287

“I didn’t want to give the nurses something to gossip about nor do I want to be involved in a love triangle with you and Miss Anya. I can’t think of anyone who’d be happy to have fingers being pointed at her and be called a mistress.”

Jeremy understood where she was coming from, but that only served to fuel his displeasure even more. “Corinne, aren’t you going to at least ask me what happened? Things are not as you believed, okay?”

Corinne was calm. “I don’t feel like there’s a need to ask, and there’s no need for you to explain yourself to me either. This isn’t like you. Others might think that you like me…”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, he grabbed her jaw with his big hands and forcefully twisted her face to the side so that she had no choice but to look at him. “There’s no one here but us. Who are these others you speak of?”

Corinne was speechless.

Jeremy grabbed a few tissues and lightly wiped off some of the soup from Corinne’s lips. “Well, go on and say it. Who are these others you speak of?”

Corinne furrowed her eyebrows and pushed away his hand. ” Fine! I’m the one who might actually think that you like me. Anyone would’ve thought like this from the way you’ve been treating me!”

Jeremy grabbed her chin and forced her to look into his eyes again. He closed in on her face and said, “What if that’s what I want you to think?”

Corinne was stunned. “Mister, you shouldn’t joke about something like this. It’s… It’s not funny at all.”

In fact, she was disgusted by the suggestion. ‘I hate it when a man simply tells me he likes me when we haven’t even gotten to know each other. Besides, how can he suggest that when just yesterday, he proclaimed his love for Anya to the whole world? Does he take me for an idiot?‘ thought Corinne.
