Chapter 1220

Meanwhile, Corinne and Jeremy were led to their table by the restaurant’s manager.

The manager pulled her chair out for her, but since she was in the eighth month of her pregnancy, the

gap between the chair and the table was still a little too narrow for her to fit in. She tried a few times to

sit but to no avail. She reached out her hand and intended to pull back the chair further.

However, before her hand even touched the chair, Jeremy pulled out the chair for her.

Stunned, she looked up at him.

Even though she still did not like him, she still thanked him politely.

Jeremy did not spare her a glance or say anything. He simply walked over to the seat across from her

and sat.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

The day before, the two of them sat down across from each other at the dining table and had a meal in

the same way. At the time, she wore a mask and thought she got away with it, so she ate her meal

without any worries.

This time, it was different. She was sitting across from Jeremy, mask-free, so it would be difficult for her

to pretend everything was alright between them.

Not wanting to meet Jeremy’s gaze more than she had to, Corinne looked out of the restaurant and

asked, “Why aren’t Annie and Marcus coming in yet?”

She remembered Annie was next to her when she entered the restaurant, so where was she?

Jeremy’s gaze darkened. He sneered. “What? Is it torturous to be alone with me?”

Corinne was annoyed at his question. She glared at him, but she then smiled. “No. It’s not that. I’m just

very hungry and want to order as soon as possible, but it would be rude to order without them.”

Jeremy looked at her piercingly. Even though his expression remained impassive, his gaze had turned

icy cold, so much so that Corinne could not help but feel a chill run up her spine.

“When did you become so thoughtful, Miss Corinne? This isn’t like you at all. After all, you’ve always

done what you wanted without caring about other people’s feelings,” he said mockingly. “Here, let me

get the waiter for you.”

He raised his hand to call over the waiter.

“Mister Jeremy, here’s the menu you’ve asked for,” said the waiter respectfully while presenting the

menu.

Jeremy took the menu and ordered a few of Corinne’s favorite dishes. He then turned to her and

remarked, “Oh, I nearly forgot. Your taste must’ve changed. Do you want to order anything else?”

Corinne was speechless. She could not help but feel he was taking a jab at her. She decided to let it

slide, however; it was not like she came to eat. “No, thanks.”

Jeremy handed the menu back to the waiter. “Serve these dishes first. We’ll add more when the others

have come.”

“Yes, Mister Jeremy.” The waiter left after that, leaving Corinne alone with Jeremy again.

She was starting to feel suffocated as Jeremy stared at her from time to time.

Jeremy took a sip of his water and narrowed his eyes at her. “Miss Corinne, judging by how healthy you

look, you must be living very well for the past six months.”

Corinne gave him a superficial smile. “Thanks for the compliment. It’s always important for me to take

care of myself well.”

“A very commendable habit. So what’s your plan from here on out?” asked Tyler impassively.
