The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 211

Corinne lowered her eyebrows and sighed in irritation. "You might not believe me if I say this, but I'm not interested in Jeremy at all! I don't even want to be Missus Holden! You're only wasting your time and effort if you try to pull these little shenanigans with me!"

Rosie was taken aback and looked at her with a bit of doubt. "You're not interested, you say? Then would you dare to swear that nothing ever happened between yourself and Jeremy, or that you don't have any feelings for him at all?"

Corinne was silent. Making that promise was something she could not do because something did happen between herself and Jeremy—something...she could not bring herself to think about!

However, the circumstances that led to that event were completely beyond her control, and other people would never understand why it was so. Even if she did explain the situation, no one would believe that her mindset then was simply focused on helping him since it was in her capacity to do so. In consideration of those factors, she felt that keeping that a secret forever was the best course of action.

As soon as the three-month cooperation period was over, she would leave the Holdens and disappear completely from Jeremy's side. Her then actions could sufficiently prove to everyone that she was not interested in Jeremy or what the Holdens could do for her.

Swearing was unnecessary.

When Rosie saw Corinne's prolonged silence, she sneered, "What's wrong? Why are you so afraid of swearing, huh? Ironically, you can't even do such a simple act when you claim to be uninterested in Jeremy or being his wife! I find it hard to believe that poor people like you are willing to leave behind a life of wealth after finally having a taste of the good life!"

Corinne could not be bothered to talk to her and felt that there was no point.

At that moment, Annie led her horse and came over. "Have you taken your pick of the horses yet, Corinne?" As soon as she finished asking her question, she frowned when she saw Rosie standing there. "Rosie? I thought your foot was injured. How are you able to ride a horse? Or could it be that you were just pretending to be in pain?"

Rosie was polite to Annie and immediately switched to a gentle and kind expression. "I feel much better after getting a rest, Annie. It's not often that we're all gathered here together, so I've decided to soldier on since I don't want to miss out on the chance to ride horses with everyone!"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Annie rolled her eyes and muttered to herself, "Tch! It's not like anyone's interested to ride a horse with you!"

She ignored Rosie and led her horse toward Corinne. "So, have you decided? We'll lead our horses out if you have one!"

Corinne nodded and pointed at her horse of choice. "I have. It's that one!" She did not change her mind and chose the same white horse with a black spot on its forehead.

Rosie frowned and stared at Corinne in shock. 'She must be very overconfident if she chose that same horse again!'

Annie shook her head as well when she saw Corinne's choice. "But that horse is stubborn, Corinne! A lot of people were thrown off its back before, and some even ended up breaking their bones. You should choose another one for the sake of your safety!"

The horse was undoubtedly a very temperamental one if Annie could make such a remark about it.

The horse was unyielding, volatile, and fiercely loyal, yet Corinne had taken a liking to it.

Rosie's lips had a mocking sneer, and after some thought, she changed her tone and said, "Why don't you let Corinne try riding that horse since she's so insistent on picking it? Who knows, she might be able to tame that fierce horse!"

Since Corinne chose that horse, she could only have herself to blame if she fell to her death.
