The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1095

Anyone would have thought something was going on between them if they saw Jason in Corinne's room this early in the morning.

'D*mn this shameless fool! Doesn't he know how incriminating this is?!' thought Corinne. Since Jeremy was there, she knew she should wait for him to finish taking his shower.

"Sorry, but it's really inconvenient for me to go anywhere right now. It's best if you go ahead without me," said Corinne with a frown.

Jason did not realize someone was in the bathroom as the summer villa boasted the best soundproof walls money could buy. He was about to say something to convince Corinne otherwise when Phoebe's voice suddenly came from the hallway.

"Joey! Why do you want to find her? Come back!"

Corinne and Jason quickly looked toward the door in unison.

To avoid any misunderstanding, Corinne purposely left the door slightly ajar after Jason slipped in.

Joey carefully peeked in through the door and looked at Corinne hopefully. Corinne was about to walk over to him when Phoebe pushed open the door and pulled Joey back out.

"I already told you to not talk to a stranger! Why don't you ever listen to me?"

Joey furrowed his eyebrows in distress, and he stuttered, "Sis… Sissy isn't…a stranger."

Phoebe became even angrier after she heard that. "What do you mean, she isn't a stranger?! Let me tell you something: Apart from your mother and me, everyone else is a stranger to you. Only your mother and I have your best interest at heart, so you better stay with us! Understood?!"

Joey pouted. He wanted to argue back, but his limited vocabulary did not allow him to do so.

Corinne narrowed her eyes after witnessing the whole ordeal from the door.

Thus, she turned to Phoebe to ask, "Miss Phoebe, do you mind if Joey stays with me here for a bit?"

Phoebe crossed her arms and glared at her. "I do mind; I'm worried this naughty boy would bother you. Joey, come here. It's time for breakfast."

It was clear Joey did not want to go with her as he subconsciously tightened his grip around Corinne's legs as though he was begging her to save him.

Corinne could not bear to see him like that. 'Miss Phoebe is definitely going to give Joey a scolding if he were to go with her.'

"Oh, it's no bother at all, Miss Phoebe," said Corinne with a smile. "In fact, I was hoping he'd save me from the boredom. I hope you'll allow him to spend some time with me."

Phoebe scoffed. "What can a kid like him do to save you from boredom? I think you should just forget about it!"
