The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 326

In the subway carriage, Corinne was so overwhelmed by Jeremy’s words that she was starting to feel dizzy. She

started to blush crazily, fearing someone might have overheard their conversation even though there was no

chance of that happening since the inside of the carriage was filled with a cacophony of other noises. Plus, Jeremy

spoke so softly that she was sure that she was the only one who could hear it.

She did not look up at him, and she snorted lightly into his chest. “No thanks. It’s not like I ever saved you before.”

Jeremy hugged her tightly. “Who said you didn’t save me? You were the one who saved me on that rainy night. I

knew it was you.”

Corinne’s brain froze. She still felt very embarrassed whenever someone mentioned that night.

“And you were the one who rushed over to save me when I was kidnapped, so we owe each other nothing, nor do

you have to be responsible for any aftermath.”

Jeremy could not believe that Corinne would still vehemently push him away even after he confessed his feelings to

her. Most of the time, he thought that she was a smart girl, but at times like this, she was so stupid that it made him

want to strangle her.

“Are you stupid? I know you’re a good kid, so why do you insist on acting like a brat?”

Jeremy rubbed the back of her head sternly, then lectured softly, “You might be speaking about that incident calmly

now, but I know you struggled with yourself for a long time before making up your mind to save me. That night

wasn’t easy on you at all, and it was all my fault.”

Corinne was stunned, and a sniffle escaped her nose. No one had ever taken her feelings so seriously before. Not

only could Jeremy see through her and pinpoint the roller–coaster of emotions she was feeling then, but what was

even more precious was that he did not mock her.

She had been bullied since childhood when she was at her most helpless and vulnerable. She was unable to fight

back, and other people took pleasure in bullying and insulting her. No one cared about her feelings at all.

She could finally protect herself as she had grown up. Everyone around her thought that she was strong,

indestructible, and without a soft side to her. As a result, she often ignored her own feelings to the point she had

brainwashed herself into thinking that she was fearless and

had no weaknesses.

That was until Jeremy came along on a wrecking ball to tear down the walls she had built around herself.

Jeremy suddenly sighed heavily again and whispered, “It seems like it’s not in the cards for me to be romantic. The

sea of flowers I prepared for you was all for nothing. You left without even taking a second look. In the end, the

words I wanted to say to you that day came out in a noisy and crowded environment exactly like the one we’re in

now.”

Corinne looked up at him in surprise. “What? Did you just say that the sea of tulips in Lunar Century Manor was

meant for me?”

“Of course.” The way Jeremy was looking at her was as if he was asking for him to praise him.xo.com fast

Corinne thought it over and then frowned again. “Hmph, don’t lie to me! There’s no way those flowers were meant

for me. Have you forgotten that day you named Princess An as the person to receive your public confession at the

embankment of Yonder River?”

Jeremy looked at her deeply. He was not angry or unhappy at the wrongful accusation but instead explained to her

very patiently, “I’ve been investigating this matter for the past two days to find the culprit who was doing all these

things that would make you misunderstand me behind my back.”

Corinne blinked repeatedly, fearing that she had heard wrong.

Jeremy lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and said seriously, “Little rascal, you should know that given my

status, I can’t publicly declare my love to anyone, nor will I publicly declare my love to anyone. To declare my love

publicly is to disclose my weakness, which will put my loved one in a dangerous situation where they may be

kidnapped and used to blackmail me at any time. So, that kind of thing would never be my doing.”

Corinne suddenly realized that the last time she was

kidnapped, she was used by those kidnappers to blackmail him.

“I have now found out the truth about public confession. The name of the person the public confession was meant

for is also nicknamed ‘An‘. Her full name is Anna Fuller. Everything was just a coincidence and had nothing to do

with me. If you don’t believe me, I can show the order slip she had made for the LED

advertising in Century Bank Tower.”

‘So that’s what happened,‘ thought Corinne.

Jeremy’s deep and seductive voice rushed into her ear again. Were you cursing me out when you were alone at the

embankment that day?”

Corinne was embarrassed at first, but she nodded nonetheless.

She mistakenly thought that Jeremy had called her to the Lunar Century Manor that day because he wanted her to

witness him declaring his love for Anya. If that were true, it would be totally wicked of him to do that. However,

since the truth had come out, she felt a little guilty about the whole thing.

Jeremy knew what she was thinking. He stroked her hair helplessly and said, “Next time, if anything makes you

unhappy, you should just come to me directly instead of jumping to a conclusion by yourself.”

Corinne knew that she had wrongly blamed Jeremy, so she put down her pride and meekly said, “Got it.”

Since they had cleared up the misunderstanding between them, Corinne finally stopped resisting him and seemed

to have lowered her walls a little, which made Jeremy immensely

relieved.

On the day when the incident with the sea of tulips occurred, Corinne could not be contacted after she quietly left

Lunar Century Manor. He searched all over the city for her that night. He did not have a clue as to where she could

be. He could not get through to her on the phone as it was turned into the police station, and she did not go back to

her mother’s house

either.

As a result, the fear of Corinne running away without him noticing one day never left him. Jeremy gently pressed

the back of her head against himself, wishing he could fuse his body with hers so that she could never leave him.

After all, the crowded subway was not the best place to talk. As soon as they arrived at the station, Jeremy led

Corinne off the subway. He was planning to take her to a high–end restaurant, but…
