The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 400

Corinne neither liked Anya nor had any interest in chatting with her, but her actions seemed to suggest that she had

something to say to Corinne.

However, speaking to Anya face-to-face would be better than having to deal with Anya’s behind-the-scenes

scheming. Corinne withdrew her arm, patted the creases on her sleeves, and nodded to Anya as she curled her lips

slightly and said, ” Let’s talk then.”

Anya’s expression froze because Corinne’s action of

withdrawing her arm was a clear sign that she rejected Anya’s touch. At that moment, Anya’s deer-like eyes blinked

blankly, as if innocent, pitiful, and unsure of what it was that she had done wrong.

The two of them went to the small gazebo in the villa

courtyard, and Anya was the one who spoke first. “I’m starting to notice that Jeremy is quite fond of you and treats

you very well these past few days.

Corinne figured that their conversation would be boring and pointless, so she took two skewers of grilled meat

before going over with Anya and replied to her while eating, “Does he?”

A somewhat bitter smile unfolded across Anya’s face. “It seems so. I’m sure you’re very happy now that he’s being

very kind to you.”

Corinne thought for a moment and said bluntly, “I don’t feel anything special in particular.”

Anya then smiled wryly again and lamented, “I used to be like

this when I was with Jeremy. Every day was a happy day for me. It’s such a shame that men are so fickle. They tend

to forget about past relationships once a new woman comes xo.com fast updatealong…”

Corinne was chewing on her barbecued meat when she froze as soon as she heard what Anya said. She turned her

head to look at Anya and asked with a frown, “When were you two in a relationship?”

Anya then raised her hand to cover her mouth, as if she had just realized that she had misspoke. “Oh, didn’t Jeremy

tell you? Umm… I’m sorry about that, Corinne. Guess I said something I shouldn’t have. Just pretend you didn’t hear

anything and don’t take it to heart!”

Corinne nodded with a smile. “Sure.”

She then continued eating and no longer asked any further questions.

It was Anya who ended up being stunned. She had never expected Corinne to have such an indifferent reaction to

her statement. Other girls would probably be very curious to find out more about their boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend.

“Aren’t you curious about what happened between myself and Jeremy?”

“I am,” Corinne said as a matter of factly, and her tone was still as frank and indifferent as before, “But even if I’m

curious, I can always ask him myself. You don’t have to trouble yourself and waste your breath.”

Anya was startled by that response and looked at Corinne with a sympathetic gaze. “Are you that naive, Corinne?

Didn’t you

ever consider why Jeremy never took the initiative to tell you about it after you’ve been with him for so long? Do

you think he’ll tell the truth if you ask him about it right now?”

“I’m sure he will,” Corinne said without the slightest hesitation, and there were zero traces of doubt in her

indifferent expression.

Her answer made Anya’s mind blank for a moment, and she immediately frowned as if she was shocked by how

much Corinne trusted Jeremy. Despite her initial bewilderment, she smiled again and said, “You seem to know very

little about men, Corinne. To be honest, all men prefer their new relationships rather than their past ones. If they

wanted to make their current girlfriends happy, they would never admit to the wonderful memories they had in

their previous relationships.”

Corinne cocked her eyebrows disapprovingly. “Is your dear Mister Jeremy as fickle as those other scumbags in your

eyes? Why would you still like him so much then if that’s the case?”

Corinne’s pointed question left Anya dumbfounded for a moment, but the latter soon said, “Since you’re being so

frank with me, then I might as well extend the same courtesy to you. I don’t like Jeremy-I love him! I’ll love him in all

his flaws, and in fact, all the world’s men are the same. Do you honestly believe that a loyal man exists?”

Corinne narrowed her pretty eyes. “When you say that, you are denouncing not only Mister Jeremy, but your father

and brothers too. Aren’t men all the same? Do you view your father and brothers in the same light as well? Are

they just as fickle as all other men?”

Anya had already expected that Corinne would refute her, but she was not as stunned as she was earlier and

merely lamented helplessly, “I’m not denouncing them. I’ve just seen too many fickle men in my life, and that

includes my family members. They can never stick to one woman. My father once had an ex- wife, and as chaste

as my brother is, he sometimes has different women keeping him company. I do hope you’ll understand the reality

that all men are the same. Once the

fresh excitement is gone, they’ll start to lose interest in their current partners regardless of how beautiful or

amazing their women are.”

Corinne finally understood the point that Anya was trying to drive across. “You’re warning me, then? Are you trying

to tell me to be mentally prepared for the day that Mister Jeremy will get tired of me and start disliking me? Or else

I should leave him as soon as possible and quit while I am ahead?”

Anya nodded kindly. “I’m glad you get the point, Corinne.”
