The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1225

Corinne was eating absent-mindedly with her eyes half-closed. She only took food from the two dishes closest to

her ordered by Annie, even though she did not like the taste. At that point, it did not matter what she ate.

Annie was equally as absent-minded as Corinne. She would, from time to time, check her phone, wondering why

Francine and Pamela had not reached the restaurant yet.

Marcus placed a piece of chicken wing on Annie’s plate. “What are you thinking about? You should eat more.”

Annie snapped back to the present. She forcibly smiled and said, “Oh, no…it’s nothing!”

‘Corinne was about to finish her food. She’ll definitely find some excuse to leave early after that! Where the hell are

they?’ thought Annie.

Corinne was intent on finishing her food; she could not wait to get out of the restaurant. Time felt so slow that a

minute felt like a year to her.

To make Corinne stay, Annie kept piling food onto her plate. “Here, Corinne. Have some of this. Eating more

vegetables will make the baby healthier.”

The corner of Corinne’s lips twitched. “Thanks.”

Without thinking much, she picked up one of the carrots Annie put on her plate and was about to bite in when

Jeremy blocked her fork with his own.

Stunned, Corinne looked up at him. “What the heck are you doing?”

Already in a bad mood from the torturous lunch, she was about to explode with rage at the thought of Jeremy

wanting to pick a fight with her.

Jeremy frowned and said coldly, “Have you forgotten that you’re allergic to carrots?”

Corinne was speechless. She looked down at the piece of carrot in her fork and suddenly remembered she was,

indeed, allergic to carrots. She did an allergic test which showed she was allergic to carrots, but she did not really

pay much attention to it since her allergic reaction was quite minor whenever she ate it.

However, she never expected Jeremy to still remember she was allergic to carrots. ‘Don’t tell me he memorized

the entire allergic test report?’

Corinne’s heart skipped a beat at that moment, but she quickly reminded herself to not read too much into it.

Besides, even if Jeremy did remember the few things she was allergic to, she was sure he did it out of concern for

the baby and not for her.

Thus, the more Jeremy cared about the baby, the more anxious she became. ‘He’s right. He won’t need to go

through the official procedures to steal the baby from me. I’d never stand a chance against him!’

Not wanting to be controlled, Corinne pulled her fork away and stubbornly put the carrots into her mouth. ‘He

should just mind his own business! This is my body we’re talking about, and I know eating one or two pieces of

carrot will do nothing to me!’

Jeremy’s face instantly darkened. He grabbed her chin roughly to stop her from chewing the carrots before forcing

her jaws open so he could remove the carrots from her mouth.

Corinne winced. “Ack, ack! What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?!”
