Chapter 1116

Francine nearly hit her nose on the door. She quickly stepped back and knocked on the door, shouting,

“Hey, Corinne! I didn’t mean what I said just now. I just don’t want to see you arguing with Jeremy…”

No response came from inside the room.

“As a matter of fact, I don’t ever want Jeremy to replace you with someone else anymore. I mean it! So

please don’t be angry. You can take what I said just now as me spouting nonsense!”

Still, no response came from inside the room.

‘How dare she still ignore me when I’ve apologized?’ thought Francine angrily.

“Hey, Corinne! You’re not really angry, are you? I don’t remember you being this touchy in the past.

Fine, be angry all you want, but take that kid back with you! I don’t want to babysit him anymore!”

Francine received no response no matter what she said.

‘This can’t be good,’ she thought with a frown. ‘Something serious must’ve happened to cause her to

be like this.’

The Corinne Francine knew would immediately retort should she do anything to upset her.

Francine gave up knocking on the door after a while. She then went downstairs to get a drink of water.

She was not worried about Joey since she had instructed a maid to care for the sleeping child. As long

as he did not wake up, she had all the time in the world to think about why Corinne was acting so

weird.

Suddenly, she heard a commotion at the main entrance, which interrupted her thoughts. She looked

over and saw Jeremy rushing in and changing his shoes.

She immediately put down her glass of water and walked over. “Jeremy, you’re back!”Books Chapters

“Is Corinne back yet?” he asked with a frown.

Francine nodded. “Yeah. She’s in her room now.”

Jeremy visibly relaxed and sighed with relief after hearing that.

Francine blinked and asked cautiously, “Jeremy, did you argue with Corinne?”

Jeremy was a little taken aback. “Did she say something to you?”

Francine shook her head. “Nope. But she seemed sort of sad and was acting weirdly. I thought I’d ask

you.”

Jeremy frowned with consternation. “We’re fine. Go to sleep.”

After that, he strode up the stairs.

“Jeremy, what about the kid? He’s still in my room,” said Francine with a pout.

“Please look after him a while longer,” he said without looking back.

Francine rolled her eyes and muttered, “They’re obviously not going to win any parents-of-the-year

award… How can they expect me, a single woman with no child of her own, to know how to take care

of a toddler?”

…

Jeremy rushed upstairs and turned the doorknob, but the door would not open.

‘That little rascal locked me out again? How dare she lock the door when she was the one who left

without waiting for me?’

He was really confused. After all, they were fine when they left the house.

Frowning, he knocked on the door a few times and waited, but the door remained shut tightly.
