Chapter 1362

Yes, Corinne’s heart did go out for Jeremy because of his past. Of course, that did not mean she was

going to let him off the hook for lying to her.

After two seconds of silence, Corinne replied, “That depends on whether Jeremy can settle his

personal problems. I’m not going to break my principles for anyone.”

Annie was relieved to hear that. “Don’t worry, he will settle his personal problems! He loves you so

much that he’ll do anything for you. I’m actually very happy that he met you because he became more

human after he met you.”

‘Is that so?’ thought Corinne. Feeling exhausted, she laid on her bed. The pity she had for Jeremy still

bugged her, so she tapped open the messaging app on her phone and texted him, [Good night, Mister.]

A few seconds later, she received a reply from him.

[Good night, little rascal.]

Corinne put down her phone, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

Seeing that Corinne was asleep, Annie said nothing more and moved to the sofa to play with her

phone.

…

The next day, on the way to Holden Group, Tommy—who sat in the front passenger seat—turned and

reported the news he received to Jeremy. “Miss Sophia has taken this morning’s flight back to

Molomia.”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “I thought she said she lost her passport?”

“Maybe she lied about losing it because she didn’t want to revoke her marriage with you,” guessed

Tommy.

Jeremy frowned and said nothing as he fell into deep thought.

Tommy’s brow furrowed as he decided to voice his concern. “Mister Jeremy, Miss Sophia didn’t look

happy when she left. If I have to guess, I’d say she’s mad at you. She may complain to her father about

you, and we all know how much her father spoils her. We’ll be in a whole lot of trouble for crossing

Adam Group.”

Jeremy’s frown deepened. However, he calmly replied, “She knew the marriage was fake and therefore

unenforceable when she signed the contract.”

“But Miss Sophia has a secret crush on you for the longest time…”

At the thought of that, Jeremy rubbed the bridge of his nose. Back then, he did not notice Sophia’s

feelings for him as he never saw her as a woman. If he had known, he would never have accepted her

help.

‘Revoking the marriage is going to be more difficult than I thought,’ thought Jeremy.

Suddenly, his phone rang, pulling him out of his thoughts.

The call was from Pamela.

Jeremy had just left home not that long ago, so he wondered if something urgent had happened at

home to warrant a call from his grandmother.

The moment he picked up his phone, he heard Pamela’s grumbling coming from the other side.

“Jeremy! Why did you leave so fast? Didn’t I tell you to wait a while? I’ve cooked some chicken soup for

you to take to Corinne. Why didn’t you wait until it’s ready?”

Jeremy rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly. “I couldn’t wait. I have to attend to something urgent for

work.”

“Is work more important than your wife’s health?” snapped Pamela angrily. “The chicken soup has been

cooked for a few hours, so it’s super nutritious. Come back and bring it to Corinne. Hurry!”

“Grandma, you shouldn’t be slaving over the stove at your age. I’ll get the nutritionist to cook for

Corinne if she wants some chicken soup. Rest more, okay?” said Jeremy helplessly.

“Why you punk! How can you compare some nutritionist’s cooking to my cooking? Come back home

this instant or else!”

“Fine. I’ll send Tommy back to deliver the soup to her in a bit.”

“No! You have to personally deliver it to Corinne,” insisted Pamela. “After all, you’re in the wrong for

hiding the fact that you’re married to Sophia in the first place. You need to show you’re sorry, or

Corinne isn’t ever going to be willing to come back!”

Jeremy sighed. “Okay, Grandma. I understand. You don’t need to worry about this anymore, okay?”
