The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

A myriad of different expressions on the faces of all the guests below the stage could be seen. Many of them were discussing amongst themselves, too.

“This woman…is Mister Jeremy’s fiancee? Why is she dressed like some random brat from the streets?”

“Shouldn’t Mister Jeremy’s partner be someone graceful and elegant? Who the heck is that woman?”

“Ahem! Mister Jeremy has quite a unique taste in women…”

Corinne deliberately dressed like a brat to scare off her blind date, but Jeremy did not seem to care at all that people were complaining about her image as his ‘fiancee’. More accurately, he seemed unconcerned that his taste in women was questioned, and he acted as if he was merely a spectator in his own show.

Her situation could be likened to being held at knifepoint, so despite the odd looks from many guests, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and exchange engagement rings with Jeremy.

It was a farce she had to maintain until the host announced the end of the ceremony.

Although everyone found it difficult to appreciate what Jeremy saw in her, they applauded raucously for Jeremy, if only for the sake of his dignity.

Following the applause, Corinne descended the stage and wanted to leave that chaotic place as soon as she could. Unfortunately, three beautifully dressed women came up to her and stood in her way.

“Which family are you from?”

“Why did you come here in that ugly-looking get-up?”

“What makes someone and your bad fashion sense worthy of being Mister Jeremy’s equal?”

Corinne evaded them and refused to entertain their questions, but the three of them continued to stand in her way. Corinne lost her patience and glanced faintly at the gorgeous dresses on those women. “In terms of fashion sense, the three of you are no doubt worthy of being Jeremy’s equal, but let me ask you this: did he ever give you permission?”

“How dare you!”

The three women were all daughters of New Capital City’s wealthy families, and it was the first time they had been mocked in such a manner. They were adamant about demanding an apology from her, or they would not let her go!

Some distance away, Zeke Callen, the Callens’ second youngest son, came over and raised a toast to Jeremy.
