Chapter 718
‘All these years I’ve been searching for Luna and she happened to be right under my nose. Oh, how god loves to
play around with my life,’ thought Lucas.
“That means I, her own brother, had not only wronged her again and again but teamed up with others to hurt her,
bully her, pour coffee over her, and even forced her to get rid of the baby inside her belly!” moaned Lucas
regretfully.
Edmund just stood there. He was at a complete loss at what to do. “Umm… Mister Lucas, you shouldn’t be so hard
on yourself since you had no idea Miss Corinne was actually Miss Luna…” ‘I’m so glad I finally found her but I won’t
blame her if she doesn’t accept me as her brother… not after all the things I did to her,’ thought Lucas. He rested

“She went back with Jeremy and they should be sleeping right now.”
Lucas nodded blankly. “I want to see her tomorrow. Make it happen.”
“Yes, Mister Lucas.”
Lucas looked up at him and said worriedly, “Don’t force her to meet with me if she doesn’t want to. Make sure you
only treat her with the utmost respect.”
Edmund nodded. “Don’t worry, Mister Lucas. I know what to do.”
Lucas pinched the space between his brow before waving tiredly as a way of telling him he could leave the study
which was exactly what Edmund did.
The next morning, the first thing Corinne saw when she opened her eyes were Jeremy’s eyes staring back at her.
She was used to sleeping alone since young so seeing a man beside her caused her to jump up in fright and to
instinctively back away.
“What’s wrong? Did I scare you?” asked Jeremy with a frown when he saw how she reacted. It was only then
Corinne remembered she had moved back to Jeremy’s place and their relationship had progressed by leaps and
bounds. Even though they had done the deed last night, she still could not help but blush at the sight of him. “Ahem.
What time is it now? Don’t you have to go to work?”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “How can I go to work when someone is sleeping on top of me?”
Corinne frowned in confusion. She then looked down and discovered the pillow she thought she was sleeping on
was actually Jeremy’s arm! She chuckled wryly and said, “You could’ve pulled out your arm while I was sleeping. It’s
not like my head is made of stone, making it impossible for you to move your arm.”
‘Why, this little rascal never misses a chance to tease me huh!’ Jeremy pretended to be angry as he pinched her
cheeks. “Why can’t you take my gesture as me wanting to be nice to you? I wanted to let you sleep a bit longer

you up?”
His words brought back the memory of what they did last night, which immediately made Corinne blushed even
more. She sat straight up and said, “Okay, you can take away your arm
now that I’m wide awake.”
Jeremy sat up too and stretched his arms to warm them up. “Oh, so you’re the use-me-and- lose-me kind of girl
eh? But I seem to recall how tightly you were gripping me with your legs. last night…”
Corinne’s face immediately turned as red as a tomato with embarrassment and she could not help but cut in, “Stop
right there, Mister!”
