The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 318

“I was just guessing. You’ve been so nice to me recently and not to mention I’m your wife in name, so I knew for sure that you were going to help me out. Except for you, there’s no one else in the world who’d help me find a new witness like that,” explained Corinne in a flattering way.

Jeremy glanced coldly at her. “Did you really know for sure that I was going to help you out for sure?”

“Of course! I’ve always known that,” Corinne answered with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

Jeremy scoffed softly. “So you didn’t curse me in your heart when I didn’t go back to the hospital to spend time with you last night?”

Corinne did not know what to say for she did, in fact, cursed

him.

She heard from Annie yesterday that Jeremy did not come back at all after sending Anya off from the hospital. She guessed that the two old lovers must have gotten carried away by their conversations and did not think too much about it. However, she became upset when she thought that Jeremy was just like everyone else who believed that she was the one who hurt Anya.

Therefore, she did curse him in her heart, but not for the reason he thought.

Jeremy took her silence to mean her admission to the accusation. He smirked provocatively and spun the steering wheel with his hand to turn the car around the corner.

“Last night, I went to investigate something, and when I came back, you were already asleep. Then, I needed to attend to some urgent matter in the morning, so I left before you woke up,” explained Jeremy.

Corinne was stunned and thought, ‘He came back last night?‘

“You don’t believe me?” Jeremy asked with a raise of his brow.

Corinne snapped out of her stupor and shook her head. “No, I believe you. You have no reason to lie to me. Anyways, I just want to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to help me find the new witness.”

Jeremy glanced at her and saw the forced polite smile on her face. “Tommy was the one who was in charge of finding the witness since I had my hands full with another matter.”

“What matter can be so important that it requires you to personally attend to it?” Corinne asked with a frown.

“I thought you’re good at guessing, so why don’t you take a guess?”

Corinne’s eyebrows knitted. How could she possibly guess when she had nothing to go on?

“Forget it. I’m not going to guess. It probably has something. to do with Miss Anya since you’re willing to personally investigate the matter. I don’t need to know the details since it has nothing to do with me.”

As soon as she said that, Jeremy put on the emergency brake, causing the car to skid to the pavement, and the tires to screech loudly. Corinne instinctively and fearfully clung to her seat belt to avoid being flung around inside the car. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

‘What the hell is going on?‘ she thought once the car came to a halt. She looked sideways at Jeremy with a frown on her head. What’s the matter with him this time?‘

Jeremy’s cold, handsome face was as black as thunder. He narrowed his eyes at her and said, “Nothing to do with you?

Don’t tell me you seriously think that everything I do has nothing to do with you?”

“Huh? Are you saying that it has something to do with me?” asked Corinne curiously.

Jeremy slowly unbuckled his seat belt. His eyes were cold. ” Corinne Carew, do you not listen to all the things I’ve said to you?”

Corinne became even more puzzled. “No, I do listen. It’s just that sometimes, I don’t really understand why you do some of the things you do. For example, this is one of those times.”

“You can always ask if you don’t understand!” said Jeremy angrily.

Corinne still did not understand where his sudden anger was coming from, and she in turn became angry too.

“I have no right to ask since I’m not your real wife. It’s better if

“What did you say?”

Corinne froze for a moment. Then, she frowned and said, ‘ Anya…”
