Jeremy gave Jason a small smile. “I heard from Tommy that you’ve been taking care of my wife. Should I hold a
banquet to thank you then, Jason?”
Corinne could feel the tension in the air between the two men. She would not even be surprised if thunder and
lightning suddenly appeared in the room.
However, it was obvious Jason did not want to have a direct confrontation since he smiled and said, “I’m doing what
any friend would’ve done, so don’t worry about it. I guess I should take my leave and head to breakfast alone now
that you’re here, Jeremy. Well, bye!”
After that, he chuckled self-deprecatingly and gave them a wave before leaving the room. No one saw just how
empty and hollow his eyes looked the moment he walked out. To his credit, he made sure to shut the door after
him.

and laughed out loud.
“You can put your hands down now. They’re all gone.”
Corinne kept her hands up. She wished she could crawl into a hole and die at that moment. ‘It’s fine if he doesn’t
find it embarrassing, but how could he drag me into it too? He really shouldn’t implied we had s*x last night. Ugh!’
Seeing she was standing stock still, Jeremy reached out to pry her hands away. “Why are you covering your face
like that? What do you think you are? An ostrich? You know I can still see you, right?”
Corinne frowned. “It’s all your fault! Why did you have to tell them about our private business? Do you really want
an image of us having s*x going through their minds?”
Jeremy smiled and pinched her chin. “Yes, that’s exactly what I want! That way, they’ll know to stay away from you.
I want them to get it through their heads that you’re mine and mine alone.”
Corinne’s lips twitched. “Mister, do you think it makes you look sexy to act like this?”
Jeremy raised his eyebrow. “I don’t think. I know I am.”
Corinne was speechless. ‘Well, I can’t fault his logic.’
Jeremy showed Corinne her pajamas and underwear. “Do you still want to wear these?”
Corinne quickly snatched the clothes and glared at him angrily. “Don’t ever bring this up again!”
Jeremy chuckled happily. He thought Corinne was so adorable that he almost could not stand all the serotonin
rushing into his brain. Her only flaw, he thought, was not letting him ravage her.
In fact, if Joey were not there in the room with them, Jeremy would have bit Corinne to ease his burning desire.
While Corinne was hugging her underwear to herself in embarrassment, she felt someone tugging at her shirt.
Stunned, she looked down and saw Joey clutching the hem of her shirt in his chubby fist. He looked up at her with
bright, shiny eyes.

hungry?”
Joey shook his head. “No… Joey… No hungry…”
Corinne looked into his innocent eyes. “What do you want to do, then? Don’t worry, you’re safe here. You can tell
me anything.”
Joey leaned against Corinne and looked up at Jeremy, thinking. After a few moments, he turned back to Corinne,
saying, “Take… Take Joey…away…”
Corinne immediately felt her heart tightened. Frowning, she stroked him softly on the head. “Okay, you have my
word. I’m going to take you away no matter what!”
Joey looked into her eyes and felt a sense of security he never felt before. He nodded docilely. “Thank you…
Sissy…”
Corinne was about to pat Joey on the head when Jeremy roughly lifted him up by the collar into the air.
“What did you call her just now?” he asked sternly.
