Chapter 388
Jeremy stood at the entrance, and because the television was turned on too loudly, he noticed something was
different at home the moment he walked through the door. He squinted at the three strangers sitting in the living
room, and that caused his handsome eyes to darken with alarm immediately.xo.com fast update
The two maids greeted him as usual. One of them helped him out of his suit jacket while the other bent to help him
wear his house slippers. Jeremy took out his jacket and passed it to one of the maids, but he did not put on the
house slippers.
“Who are those people in the living room?” he asked in that deep voice of his.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe maid exchanged confused looks with one another, and one of them answered helplessly, “Mister Jeremy,
they’re Ma’am’s family, but they…”
The maid found herself unable to continue as she did not know how to tell him that Corinne had introduced the
‘new Missus. Holden‘ to them. It was too complicated to the extent that
they, the servants, had no idea what happened.
“Well, go on. ‘But‘ what?” Jeremy asked impatiently, not liking the maid’s hesitancy one bit.
The maid felt pressured, and this made it even harder for her to go on. She was just thinking about how to explain
the situation to Jeremy without making him angry when Bowen came just in time to save her.
“Mister Jeremy, you’re back! The guests in the living room are the parents and sister of Ma’am. They dropped by
this
morning to visit her,” said Bowen.
‘They’re the little rascal’s family?‘ thought Jeremy. His long legs carried him out of the entrance and toward the
living room, his eyes not as hostile as before. Before, he did not care about Corinne’s family because their marriage
was fake, but that changed. He wanted to continue the marriage with her, so he thought he should treat her family
well to show that he respected them and Corinne.
“Where is she?” Jeremy asked. At the word ‘she‘, his usual cold tone became softer.
Bowen’s expression changed at the mention of Corinne. “Umm … Ma’am is in her room, packing her things. She
said that she needed to make room for her sister.”
‘Packing her things?‘ Jeremy frowned. ‘What’s going on? I thought everything was going great between us. What’s
she upset about this time?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBowen started to explain to Jeremy everything that happened today when Sherlyn- who wanted to go to the
bathroom after having finished her desserts got up from the sofa and saw the impossible -to–miss and impossible -
to–take–her–eyes- off handsome Jeremy, who stood at the living room entrance.
Her eyes lit up, and she greeted him excitedly, “Jeremy, you’re back!”
Bowen was only halfway through explaining what happened today and had not gotten to the key points yet.
Therefore, Jeremy had not gotten the full picture of the situation, so it was understandable of him to treat Corinne’s
family with the utmost respect.
Jeremy nodded slightly at Sherlyn, who walked toward him,
and said, “Hello. Welcome.”
