The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

“You flatter me,” Corinne responded absent-mindedly without raising her head.

Jeremy rested his forehead on one hand and glanced at her from the side. “Have you learned it before?”

His question was an inquisitive one because it defied common sense that Corinne could play the ukulele so well. Although he had chosen her to be his missus purely by chance, he had sent someone to investigate her background after that chance meeting.

Although the Carews were regarded as a middle-class family, Corinne was an illegitimate daughter who did not receive much in the way of care. She was sent to the countryside to be raised by relatives since she was young, and the worrying environment of her upbringing meant she hardly had any means to learn any musical instruments. Yet, that piece she played at the gathering earlier was simply beyond the reach of anyone without a solid foundation of seven or eight years.

She was so full of contradictions that he could not help but wonder if there was more to her than what he could see.

Corinne ignored the man’s scrutinizing gaze and looked at the party bill on her cell phone. She had just paid for the expense of the gathering, and she was left with around 40 bucks in her account. The culprit who was the cause of her poverty was none other than the man sitting next to her, and he still had the gall to make sarcastic remarks such as teasing her for playing the ukulele so well!

She got angrier the more she thought about it, and she snorted before saying, “We’re not a real married couple, mister! Whether or not I leamed it before has nothing to do with you! We’ll be going our separate ways after three months, so why are you being so nosy?”

Jeremy frowned at her petulant response. “Didn’t I just compensate that other girl for her ukulele on your behalf? Why are you giving me that attitude?”

‘What’s wrong with my attitude, you say? You should be glad I didn’t tell you to mind your own d*

I

mn business!’

Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “You were the one who threw that ukulele on the wall and smashed it to pieces. Do you expect someone else to compensate her for that?”

Jeremy’s expression sank, and it was the first time he experienced the ungratefulness of someone else.

Corinne snorted again and said, “And besides, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have to spend all my -living expenses on treating all those students today!”

When all was said and done, it turned out that she was unhappy precisely because of that one incident.
