Chapter 1098

Jeremy stroked Corinne’s head adoringly as he spoke.

Phoebe was speechless, but not wanting to give up, she showed him the pajamas and underwear she

picked up from under the bed.

“Don’t be fooled by her, Jeremy. She’s cheating on you! Look. I found these under the bed. She must

be afraid of you finding out, so she hid them under the bed.”

Jeremy glanced at the clothes that Corinne would only wear in private before snatching them. “I took

them off her. We were just doing a little catch-up last night. Surely that’s allowed, right?” he said calmly.

Corinne covered her face with her hands. ‘God, this is so embarrassing! How can I ever show my face

around these people anymore?’ she thought, her lips trembling. ‘Ugh! Jeremy shouldn’t have said

everything, too! Has he no shame?’

Jason narrowed his eyes, which seemed to be dimming by the second.

“Oh, I see… Well, if that’s the case…” said Phoebe, fumbling for words.

“There’s no if,” said Jeremy, his eyebrow raising sharply.

Under Jeremy’s intimidating stare, Phoebe’s excitement turned to fear. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you

came, either. It’s my fault for not getting my facts right.”

Not wanting to waste any more time on this matter, Jeremy simply uttered two words coldly, “Get

Phoebe nodded and quickly escaped out of the room, pulling Joey—who had no idea what was going

on—out with her.

“Let’s get out of here, Joey!” she said.

“Wait,” uttered Jeremy authoritatively.

Phoebe stopped and turned back slowly in fear to look at him.

“Yes, Jeremy? Is there anything else? If not, I really should get Joey to have his breakfast.”

“The kid can stay. You go,” he said in a tone that left no room for negotiation.

Stunned, Phoebe looked down at Joey. She found herself even more reluctant to let him go when she

knew Jeremy still cared about him.

“Jeremy, this kid can be quite a handful. It’s best if I take care of him,” she said.

“Miss Phoebe, have you forgotten that I’m his legal guardian?” asked Jeremy.

“Uh… Fine…” Left with no choice, Phoebe let go of Joey and told him to be a good boy, albeit a little

fakely, before leaving the room grudgingly.

Joey’s eyes lit up with the sweet taste of freedom. He toddled over to Jeremy, which he had not seen

for a long time, and looked up at him with worship in his eyes. “Dada!”

“Hey there, little guy,” said Jeremy while bending down to pat his head.

He was actually not that close to Joey. It was Anya who did most of the caretaking after Joey was

adopted. In fact, Jeremy would only go over to see him when Anya asked him to come over with one

excuse or another.

“Jeremy, when did you get here?” asked Jason casually.

Jeremy looked at his friend emotionlessly. “Early this morning.”

Jason smiled. “I see you’re still the same as always. You don’t ever tell us when you’re leaving or when

you’re coming back. We could’ve given you a proper send-off and a welcome-back, you know.”
