Chapter 829
The Day I Kissed An Older Man
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 Corinneâs sake.
Seeing Jeremy waving the servant away, Anya thoughtfully walked over to give him a fork.â Jeremy,
why donât you just have a little food? You must be tired from working.â
Jeremy glanced at the fork in her hand. âNo, thanks.â
At that moment, Corinne picked up a fried shrimp and placed it near Jeremyâs lips. âHey, Mister, try this.
The chef here really knows his stuff.â
go home Jeremyâs eyes softened. He opened his mouth and ate the fried shrimp before patting her
head lovingly âThank you, but you donât have to do that. Just focus on yourself, and weâll after youâre
done eating.â
âOkay,â 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. âOh my god, just how oblivious can she get?â
âAnya, why are you still standing there? Go back to your seat now!â
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
momentâ¦.
âD*mn, that b*tch mustâve cast a spell on Jeremy to have him wrapped around her finger like that.â
âLucas, 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, âNo. Finish what you started today.â
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.
âSunny! Sunny, whatâs wrong?!â
