The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne suddenly grabbed Lucas’ sleeves. “Lucas, get someone to deliver my passport to me now. I’m going to take the next flight out to Molomia,” she said anxiously.

Lucas was taken aback by this request, and he frowned. “Nonsense, Corinne. You’re in no condition to go anywhere right now! Be a good girl and stay home to wait for the baby to come. The baby’s safety should be your priority. But don’t worry. I’ll get my men in Molomia to keep watch over Jeremy. You have my word that I won’t stand by and do nothing if Jeremy needs help.”

Even if he did not like Jeremy, Lucas would still help him out because he was Corinne’s husband. Maybe that was what people meant when they said, ‘Love me, love my dog’.

The tightness in Corinne’s chest intensified as she watched a plane take off from the airport window. She could not help but recall all the misunderstandings that sprang between her and Jeremy when he went abroad, which ultimately ended with them going their own ways.

‘Hopefully, things will be different now since we’ve said everything we needed to say. There’s no more misunderstanding between us, so no matter what, I’m not going catastrophize without asking him first,’ thought Corinne.

However, she was still worried about something bad happening to him. They had not even been separated for long, yet she was already having separation anxiety.

Lucas could not bear to see her like that. He pulled her into his arms and proceeded to pat her gently on the back to soothe her.

“He’s a capable man, so you should trust that he’ll be able to solve any problem that comes his way. Besides, he wouldn’t have gotten to where he is now if he’s the type of man who needs his pregnant wife to clean up his mess. Corinne, you shouldn’t spoil a man too much, or he’ll just become lazy and incompetent.”
