The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1361

Both Jeremy and Corinne’s mothers went missing when they were young, and they had no idea whether their

mothers were still

alive or dead.

“Where’s Jeremy’s father now?” asked Corinne.

Annie sighed. “After Uncle Jeremy’s mother left, his father stopped going out and fooling around with other women.

Not long

after that, he ran off to be a monk at some temple high up in Cloud Mountain.

He was raised to be the successor from the moment he was born. His schedule was packed with all sorts of learning

activities

from morning until night. He doesn’t even get to have his own free time. Only when he became an adult did he

and heart

were a mess. She never asked Jeremy about his past, nor did she look into it herself.

Like most people, she thought Jeremy’s life was set for being born into a Logically speaking, he should have a

carefree life with

everything he could ever want.

Jeremy never complained or talked about his past. However, he would often smoke a few cigarettes alone.
