THE DAY I KISSED AN OLDER MAN - Season 1 Episode 86

Corinne looked at Francine as her carefree demeanor dropped, revealing a more serious behavior. It

was time to talk business.

“The only reason I came in to tell you all of this is that I want to let you know you don’t have to do all

this just to kick me out of the house. When the time comes, I’ll leave on my own. Even when you want

me to stay a second longer, I won’t.”

Francine was stunned. She asked curiously, “When the time comes? What do you mean?”

Corinne raised an eyebrow. “You don’t know? The reason your brother married me is that he wanted to

gladden your grandfather, preventing his health from worsening. Three months from now, when your

grandfather’s health is stabilized, our marriage will end. At that time, my job is done. You can let

whoever you want be your sister-in-law.”

Francine frowned as she found it hard to believe. “Why should I believe you’ll leave when the time

comes? Don’t try to fool me. I’ve seen all types of women; they’re always on the lookout for new ideas

to be with my brother!”

Corinne smiled. “Miss Francine, is there a problem with your brain, or am I not being clear enough to

you? I don’t care how good your brother is-he’s not my type! On the contrary, I wish to be away from him as much as possible! I hope these three months will end as soon as possible!”

Francine looked at Corinne dubiously and entered into a deep thought.

‘It doesn’t look like she’s lying. Does she truly have no feelings for Jeremy?”

“Oh! If you don’t wish to see your brother and I have a hard time separating, it’s better you don’t tell

your grandma about the three-month period. I’m sure you understand her more than me. She’s very

eager to see me pregnant. If she knows your brother and I are just a fake couple, she’d do anything to

intervene. Kapish?”

Once those were said, she got up and was ready to leave.

The only reason she told Francine everything was that she did not want her causing trouble again once

she was released. She did not want to entertain Francine; it was a waste of time.

At this moment, Francine was about to have a meltdown. If Corinne never wanted to stay in the family,

then she had been doing all these things for nothing. She even caused herself to be detained. What

had she done?

“Corinne!” Francine called out.

Corinne stopped walking and looked back. “What?”

With an arrogant face, Francine snorted. “I’m going to believe what you said, I won’t fight you in these

three months. Tell them to let me out now!”

Corinne curled her lips. “I’m sorry, but what you did today is a crime. According to the law,

administrative detention is your punishment. Be a good girl. It’s just fifteen days. It’ll be over very

soon.”

Francine was unhappy. “I don’t want to stay here for fifteen days! Let me out! I want to go out!

Jeremy can get me out of here! Tell him to get me out of here!” Corinne ignored her, pushed open the

door, and walked out.

When Corinne left the interrogation room, Jeremy was on the other side of the hallway talking to an

elderly officer near the window. She was too far from them and could not hear their conversation.

Based on the uniform of the elder police officer, he could be the Chief of Police. Apart from that,

however, he showed a very humble attitude toward Jeremy as he explained something.

“Mister Jeremy, I’m really sorry. My subordinate treated your wife as a suspect and interrogated her.

They nearly arrested her! We are responsible for this, nonetheless.

“Those officers have just graduated and got transferred here not long ago. They don’t have much

experience in dealing with cases. I hope you can forgive them.”

Jeremy said faintly, “My forgiveness isn’t that important. What’s most important is my wife’s feelings.

Luckily for them, my wife is a forgiving person.”

Knowing Jeremy did not have the intention to blame the officers, the chief was relieved. “Yes. Missus

Holden is a reasonable and caring person. Nonetheless, I’ll have those officers apologize to her later.”

Jeremy did not say anything else.

Suddenly, a phone rang. The Chief of Police excused himself and walked to the side to answer his

phone.

Corinne walked over and said sarcastically, “What’s going on? Are you trying to get someone to get

your sister out of here?”

Jeremy glanced at her and said faintly, “You think too much. I trust the police to give Francine the

punishment she deserved.”

Corinne was shocked to hear that. “She’s your sister. Are you going to leave her here?”

With a stone-cold face, Jeremy replied, “She’s an adult now, not a kid. She should be able to face. the

consequences of committing a crime. Otherwise, she’ll never learn.”

Corinne nodded satisfyingly. “That’s great! You’re not like the foolish parent who spoils his kids after

all!”

She stretched her back and turned to leave the station. When she was outside, she realized there was

a man walking very closely behind her.

She stopped and turned around, only to find Jeremy behind her. “Mister, are you not going to the

hospital to visit Grandma?”
