Chapter 1090

Corinne recognized that voice. It was the same woman who picked up Jeremy’s phone when Francine

called him last time.

She felt her heart inexplicably aching.

She did not ask him who the woman was as she trusted he would explain everything to her without

needing to prompt him. To her surprise, he did no such thing.

Instead, he quickly said, “Hey, I gotta go now. Be a good girl and go to bed early, okay?”

Corinne did not even have a chance to ask what was happening when Jeremy hung up on her. She

listened as the disconnected tone floated into her ear.

‘Who is that woman? Why didn’t he explain himself?’ she asked herself.

She threw her phone aside and climbed into her bed. Feeling sad and insecure, she hugged her pillow

tightly and curled herself into a ball.

She spent almost every night in this way when she was a child. After she grew up and gained the

ability to protect herself, she no longer slept in this position.

However, at that moment, the sense of insecurity from childhood seemed to have rushed back to erode

her self-esteem again. Slowly, she started to doze off without her knowing.

By the time she woke up the next day, the sun was already shining brightly in the sky. The warm

sunlight shone through the curtains, causing Corinne to slowly open her eyes.

However, the first thing she saw was not the room’s furnishing but a man’s strong chest.

Startled, she first thought she was still dreaming. She touched the chest in front of her, and to her

shock, it was real.

Even though she had just woken up, she remembered she had spent the night in the Riveras’ summer

villa. Moreover, Jeremy was not in the country either.

‘Then who is this man sleeping beside me?’ Various possibilities flashed through Corinne’s mind before

Jason’s devilishly handsome face settled in her mind.

‘Sh*t! Don’t tell me he managed to sneak into my room last night!’ thought Corinne with shock. She

quickly pushed the man away and looked under the blanket to see whether she was still clothed.Books

To her disappointment, she found herself totally naked.

‘Sh*t! This is not good!’

She sat up suddenly and screamed angrily at the top of her lungs.

“Ahhh!”

“What happened? Why are you screaming like that?” said a familiar voice.

This effectively made Corinne stop screaming. She looked to the side and was surprised to find herself

staring straight at Jeremy’s face.

Jeremy was sleeping on his side, his handsome face evidently looking tired. Suddenly, he sat up and

moved closer to her.

“What’s the matter? Who did you think I was?”

Even though she was still feeling a little shock, she sighed in relief.

“No one… But you’ve gotta admit, anyone would be scared if they suddenly found someone sleeping

next to them.”

At that moment, words alone could not express how glad she was to find out she did not cheat on

Jeremy after all.
