Chapter 1115

The girl quickly took out her phone. “Mister Jeremy, if you don’t mind, can we exchange phone

numbers?”

…

Corinne was in the taxi when Jeremy called. She looked briefly at the caller ID before answering her

phone.

“Where are you?” asked Jeremy in his deep voice.

“I’m in the taxi on my way home,” said Corinne neutrally.

“Why didn’t you wait for me?” he asked unhappily.

“I didn’t want to bother you since you rarely have the time to hang out with your friends.”

Jeremy pursed his lips for a few seconds before saying sternly, “Where are you now? I’ll go pick you up

right away!”

“No, that won’t be necessary since I’m almost home. You just have fun, okay? I’m going to hang up

now. Bye.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Corinne quickly hung up after that.

After she reached the Holdens’ mansion, she immediately questioned herself why she came back

there. She chalked it down as her needing some time to collect her thoughts before deciding what to do

next.

There were only a few servants on standby in the living room since Greg and Pamela had retired for

the night.

As soon as Corinne walked upstairs, she bumped into Francine, who seemed like she had just come

out of her room and was about to go downstairs.

“You sure took your sweet time to come back!” said Francine with her hands on her hips. “I can’t

believe you left me to babysit a kid so young! He kept crying for you. Did you know how much effort it

took me to get him to sleep? Never again!”

Corinne and Jeremy tasked Francine to look after Joey when the two of them went out. They did not let

Pamela babysit him because they were worried he would be too much of a handful for the old woman.

“Blame your brother,” said Corinne emotionlessly. “He insisted on coming with me, so we had no choice

but to leave Joey with you. Plus, Joey’s his kid, not mine.”

Francine could tell something was off with Corinne, but she could not really put her finger on it. She

took a peek behind Corinne and asked, “Where’s Jeremy? Did you come back alone?”

“He’s having drinks with Zeke and the others, so he should be back late,” she replied. After that, she

walked past Francine to get into her own room.

Francine frowned. She could tell Corinne was not in a good mood. Worried about her, she followed her

and asked, “Hey, are you okay? Why do you look so out of it?”

Corinne avoided looking at her. “I’m just a bit tired, that’s all.”

“Did you have a fight with Jeremy?”

“No.”

Francine crossed her arms and pouted. “Corinne, I’m not taking sides here, but you should know how

hard it is for Jeremy to find time to spend with you. You shouldn’t fight with him after all the trouble he

had taken to come back here.”

Corinne scoffed. “Fine. It’s all my fault. But don’t worry. Your brother is going to give you a new sister-

in-law who’s kind and thoughtful soon!”

Francine was speechless. She did not expect Corinne to react like that.

After her little outburst, Corinne ignored Francine and went back into her room.

Francine immediately knew she had misspoken. She scratched her head and was about to apologize

to Corinne when Corinne slammed the door in her face.
