The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1075

After Corinne woke up, she came out to see Tommy standing straight at the door.

"Tommy, you can let your guard down a little. Miss Phoebe isn't stupid enough to do anything to me for the time being," she said while massaging her temples.

"Ma'am, it's better to be safe than sorry. Miss Phoebe always looks like she wants to strangle you," said Tommy with a frown.

Corinne smiled. "As if she could ever do that."

Tommy sighed. "Ma'am, are you sure you want to stay here? Honestly speaking, Mister Joey looks fine to me. Why don't you wait until Mister Jeremy is back? The two of you can pick Mister Joey up together afterward."

Corinne could not help but feel her heart ache whenever she thought of poor Joey.

"You can't possibly think he's being treated well here. He might not be Jeremy's biological son, but that doesn't mean I can just abandon him here! The moment Jeremy adopted him is the moment he committed to taking care of him, for better or for worse. Plus, I'm pretty sure Jeremy won't sit by and do nothing if he saw how scared Joey was of Phoebe."

Tommy opened his mouth to say something but decided against it. 'She's right. Mister Jeremy won't sit by and do nothing. He has a very strong sense of responsibility. If not, he wouldn't have let Miss Anya use him for so many years to pay her back for saving his life.'

Corinne waved her hand dismissively, signaling to Tommy that was the end of the discussion. "You can go back to New Capital City if you have something else to do. I can handle everything here myself."

Tommy would never leave Corinne alone. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Ma'am. I don't have anything waiting for me back in the city, so it's no problem for me to stay here with you."

Corinne knew nothing she said would make Tommy leave, so she rubbed her belly and said, "I'm starving. Get the kitchen to make something for me to eat."

"Ma'am, it's fine if you want to stay here, but it's best not to eat anything made by the servants here. What if Miss Phoebe decides to poison your food as revenge?" said Tommy warily. "It'll be disastrous if you eat the food. We're in the mountains where the good hospitals are miles away, so it's best not to eat the food here."
