The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 616

Corinne paused what she was doing for a second and simply said, “I know.”

Edmund was stunned. “If you knew, why didn’t you come back to talk to him? Surely any misunderstanding could be cleared up if you just talked to Mister Jeremy face-to-face *

In the time he worked for Jeremy, Corinne was the first woman Edmund had met who never took Jeremy seriously. It was only after getting to know her that he realized she was not the type of girl whose mission in life was to marry into a wealthy family, nor did she intend to gain fame and status with the help of a man. In fact, marrying into the Holden family held no allure to her at all.

Simply put, Corinne was a straightforward, down-to-earth, independent, and mysterious girl. She knew what she wanted and was not afraid to go after it. In the three months she lived in Holden’s estate, she never once overstepped her boundary.

She did her part in pretending to be Jeremy’s wife and did not attempt to use the Holden family’s influence or power to do anything else. In fact, she showed great hesitation in letting others know she was Jeremy’s wife.

Corinne had always acted indifferent toward Jeremy. They slept in separate bedrooms, and she showed no interest in climbing into his bed or trying to blackmail him into marrying her for real by getting pregnant with his child. It was because of all that and more that Jeremy’s cold, cold heart started melting little by little until he found himself falling madly in love with her.
