The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 828

Anya quickly composed herself and pretended to be clueless again. "What are you talking about? It's fine if you

don't want to drink the juice my mom made for you, but do you really have to slander her like that?"

Corinne straightened herself up and chuckled softly. "Then why did you come running to the bathroom to throw up

after you drank the juice your mother so kindly made?"

"I didn't throw up! I was using the toilet as normal people do!"

Corinne knew Anya would not admit it. "Is that so? Should I ask your grandparents to send the pomegranate juice

to the lab to see if there's anything else added to it?"

Anya started to panic. "That's enough bullsh*t, Corinne! Let me tell you something. This is my house, and no one in

my family will ever believe your words over mine!"

"Well, how about we give it a try and see?" suggested Corinne with a smile.

Anya knew she was in the wrong, so she did not dare to provoke Corinne further. Gritting her teeth, she tried to

change the topic, "What is it that you want, Corinne? Isn't it enough that you stole Jeremy away from me? You're

trying to get close to my family now, too?"

Corinne walked casually toward her. "First of all, Jeremy was never yours, so I didn't steal him from you. Second of

all, I only came because your family insisted I visit them, so it wasn't me who was trying to get close to them."

Anya's eyes widened in anger. "Jeremy was mine! He would've married me if you didn’t come into the picture.

Corinne Carew, you're nothing but a homewrecker!"

Corinne scoffed. "As if I'd ever do something like that. Besides, your mother was the bona fide homewrecker seeing

as how she's your father's wife now. Don’t you think so?"

"What... What the heck are you talking about?" Anya looked at Corinne in alarm, wondering how Corinne knew

about what Phoebe did in the past.

At that moment, they heard the servants whispering outside, "Mister Jeremy is here!"

The two girls looked out the window and saw a sports car driving into the mansion's compound. Once the car was

parked, a tall, handsome man got out and strode toward the mansion.

Leaving Corinne aside, Anya ran out to greet the man while the former walked leisurely back to the dining room.

As soon as Jeremy stepped into the foyer, Anya greeted him excitedly." Hey, Jeremy! We're just having dinner. Why

don't you join us?"

Jeremy glanced at her before going into the dining room. There, he scanned the group coldly before his eyes

landed on Corinne, who was eating her food with gusto.

He walked over to where she was sitting while nodding to all the elders on his way there as a form of greeting.

Finally, he stood behind Corinne and pulled out the napkin to help her wipe her mouth.

"Are you done having fun here? It's time for you to go home."

Anya, who had come in after Jeremy, could not help but feel jealous of Corinne. 'I should be the one Jeremy loves,

not that country bumpkin over there.'

Corinne was used to Jeremy treating her like a kid, so she was unfazed by him wiping her mouth. "I'm not done

eating yet. We can leave after dinner."

Jeremy frowned. He did not want to stay a minute longer than he had to.

"We can have another dinner at home."

Hearing this, Cedric could not help but feel Jeremy had come to steal Corinne from him. "Hey, you, Holden. What's

the rush? Didn't you hear her say she wants to finish her dinner first?"

Jeremy's eyebrows furrowed. He glanced at Cedric and told himself to keep his temper in check since the other

man was much older than him.

As for Lucas, he decided to behave courteously toward Jeremy for Corinne's sake. "Corinne hasn't had her fill yet,

so why don't you let her eat more? In the meantime, you can have dinner with us too."

Chapter 829

Lucas nodded at the servant standing by, and he immediately brought another chair to the table.

Jeremy sat down, but he then waved his hand at the tableware the servant was bringing to him. He had no intention

of eating, but he did not mind waiting for Corinne to finish.

It was obvious the Riveras did not welcome Jeremy due to the bad blood between them. Jeremy, too, did not want

to be there, but he had no choice since Corinne was there. Hence, both families decided to be courteous toward

each other for Corinne's sake.

Seeing Jeremy waving the servant away, Anya thoughtfully walked over to give him a fork. "Jeremy, why don't you

just have a little food? You must be tired from working."

Jeremy glanced at the fork in her hand. "No, thanks."

At that moment, Corinne picked up a fried shrimp and placed it near Jeremy's lips. ' Hey, Mister, try this. The chef

here really knows his stuff."

Jeremy's eyes softened. He opened his mouth and ate the fried shrimp before patting her head lovingly. "Thank

you, but you don't have to do that. Just focus on yourself, and we'll go home after you're done eating."

"Okay," replied Corinne with a nod.

Anya, who was still holding the fork out to Jeremy, stiffened as her expression darkened. Everyone could tell who

Jeremy really loved.

In the past, the Riveras fully objected to Anya marrying Jeremy, not only because of the bad blood between the two

families but also because they thought Jeremy was not a good man. After all, they had never seen the warm, loving

side of him. To them, marrying Jeremy was as good as being a widow.

However, after seeing how Jeremy treated Corinne, they realized that it was not that Jeremy was a cold, heartless

man. It was because he had not met the right person.

Lucas frowned when he saw Anya standing frozen. He had never thought of Anya as spoiled and distasteful until

then. 'Oh my god, just how oblivious can she get?’

"Anya, why are you still standing there? Go back to your seat now!"

Anya grudgingly went back to her seat, all while she clenched the fork in her hand so hard that it nearly snapped

into two.

Phoebe was shocked to see Jeremy, who she had set her eyes on to be her son-in-law, treating Corinne like a

queen. She did not believe Anya when the latter told her of how Jeremy treated Corinne as she thought it was

jealousy making Anya talk with exaggeration, but she saw it herself at this moment...

'D*mn, that b*tch must've cast a spell on Jeremy to have him wrapped around her finger like that.'

"Lucas, can I take a night off from homework today? I promise to make it up tomorrow..." pleaded Sunny.

Lucas continued eating at a leisurely pace while saying sternly, "No. Finish what you started today."

Sunny put down his fork in resignation and got up languidly to go back to his room. However, he had not even

stepped away from his chair when he suddenly collapsed to the ground and knocked down the chair in the process.

The sound was so loud, it alarmed everyone.

"Sunny! Sunny, what's wrong?!"
