Chapter 1307

‘Wait, why am I thinking of that jerk again? Ugh, he’s like a ghost that just won’t leave me alone!’

grumbled Corinne mentally.

Sunny was not happy at being likened to a secret agent.

“Oh, come on. You don’t really think I look like a secret agent, do you? I mean, have you ever seen a

secret agent as handsome as me? Plus, Jeremy wears his hair like this too. Are you saying he looks

like a secret agent as well?”

Corinne became annoyed at the mention of Jeremy. “You should learn from Lucas instead of someone

else.”

Sunny lifted his chin. “Lucas doesn’t need to comb his hair back because he already looks mature! I’ve

seen Jeremy without his hair combed back, and he doesn’t look a day over thirty. What’s wrong with

me imitating his style?”

Even though Corinne agreed with his words, she still said, “I suggest that you go as your usual self.

There’s no use pretending who you’re not.”

“Hmph! I don’t believe you. After all, you were so smitten by Jeremy’s look back then,” said Sunny

confidently.

Corinne was speechless.

“I’m pretty sure Xante’s going to fall head over heels with me if she sees me like this,” proclaimed

Sunny.

“I’m pretty sure she’ll think you’ve lost your mind if she sees you like this,” countered Corinne.

Sunny decided to ignore Corinne. He ran over to a mirror to admire his looks before waving goodbye at

her. “I should get going now. I promise I’ll be back in an hour.”

Corinne ignored him and continued to sip her orange juice. Knowing Xante, she was sure she would

not be happy with Sunny’s look. She would not be surprised if Sunny came back looking sad.

She leaned back lazily against the sofa and grabbed her phone to see if there were any messages.

There was indeed one sent by Jeremy from 10 minutes ago.

[Are you going to ignore me again?]

Corinne frowned and deleted his message. ‘Out of sight, out of mind,’ she thought.

However, one second later, she received a text message from Jason.

[Corinne, where are you right now?]

Corinne replied, [I’ve already eaten.]

Jason sent her a teary-laugh emoji along with the message, [Here you go changing the topic again. I’m

asking where you are.]

[I don’t want to have lunch with you. Mister Jason, I suggest you put your time to some good use

instead of texting me. You really shouldn’t harass a pregnant lady like me, you know.]

Jason sent her another teary-laugh emoji. [How did you know I was going out for lunch?]

[Lucky guess. That’s why I told you I’ve eaten.]

[Corinne, are you really not going to tell me where you are?]

[Don’t worry. All you need to know is that I’m in a safe place and lack for nothing. Thank you for your

concern, though.]

[Fine. I guess I have no choice but to enjoy these delicious foods alone.]

Jason then spammed her with pictures of tantalizing food to whet her appetite.

Corinne simply replied with an annoyed emoji and stopped messaging him after that.

She was very well aware Jason had a crush on her, but he was starting to get on her nerves. She

decided that it was best to keep her distance from him.

However, she would still help him should he run into any trouble since he did help her when she was at

her lowest, even though doing so would put him at Jeremy’s wrath.

She put down her phone and nodded off on the sofa. The servant placed a blanket over her when they

saw she was sleeping.

In her dream, a group of people with guns in their hands were chasing after her in a maze while she

had nothing to protect herself. The only thing she could do was to run and hide.

Suddenly, she heard a gunshot.

She thought she had been shot, but when she turned back, she saw Jeremy falling backward to the

ground while blood gushed out from a hole in his chest.

She was only alive because Jeremy had saved her from the bullet.
