The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1517

Corinne might have said out loud what was bothering her if there was only Xante in the room. However, she knew Francine and Annie would cause more trouble for her if she told them she saw Jeremy that afternoon.

The same could be said about Pamela and Greg, too. They would no doubt rush to the hotel as well if they knew Jeremy was staying there.

"Nothing happened. I'm just a little tired from work," she lied.

Annie pouted and crossed her arms. "Corinne, you shouldn't go to work if you're tired. It's already tiring enough to take care of three kids by yourself, so why add more to your plate?"

Corinne sipped her tea before saying, "It's only tiring because I just started working. I'm sure it'll be less tiring once I get used to it."

Annie felt sorry for her and was a little unhappy on her behalf.

At that moment, Francine nudged Annie with her elbow, reminding her to get to the point.

"Ahem! So, Corinne, I have a really good friend who's an amazing therapist. Do you want to come with me to visit him at his office this weekend if you're free?"

"A therapist?" Corinne raised an eyebrow. "How come you suddenly want to introduce a therapist to me?"

"Because he's super good-looking and gentle. I find that whenever I'm sad, I'll always feel better after talking to him," said Annie with a smile.

Corinne did not think she needed to see a therapist, but then she thought about 'Bryan'.

'The boy hasn't been himself ever since I scolded him for running off on his own that time. Maybe seeing a therapist can do him good…'

Corinne nodded. "Okay. I'm free this weekend. Let's just see if your friend is as good-looking as you say he is."

"Xante, I have known you and Aaron since we were little. We've gone through all kinds of things together, so it's safe to say we're each other's most trusted person, right?"

Xante went to stand beside her. "Of course," she said resolutely.

Corinne chuckled softly. "And yet you two teamed up with the others to lie to me."

"Boss… What—"

"I gave birth to triplets three years ago, but you and everyone else told me I gave birth to twins. For the past three years, I alone didn't know that one of my children was missing!"

Xante dropped her head in shame. "Sorry, Boss. We were worried you wouldn't be able to take the news since you were already losing your mind over Mister Jeremy's disappearance."
