Chapter 1380

In fact, Jeremy was even worse off than Corinne since both of his parents abandoned him when he

was little.

Emily, at least, brought Corinne with her when she left the family. It was only out of desperation that

she gave her up to the Carews in the end.

Thus, Corinne had the unshakeable faith that Emily loved her, even though her memories of her were

hazy to say the least. It was that faith that made her believe she was worthy of love despite Emily not

being by her side through her formative years of growing up.

However, the same could not be said for Jeremy. It was difficult for him to not think that his parents did

not care about him since they both chose not to bring him with them. For the longest time, he carried

the hurt of abandonment with him.

Not only that, but he had to live in a pressure-cooker environment. Though it did not cause him to have

a twisted personality, it did make him cold and unapproachable. However, despite his tough exterior,

Corinne knew him to be kind and gentle, which was very rare indeed.

Thinking of all that, Corinne could not help but soften a little. “Hey, Mister.”

Jeremy was peeling some shrimps for her. “Yeah?”

“Text me the address.”

Not understanding what she was talking about, Jeremy raised an eyebrow. “What address?”

She pouted coquettishly. “Sophia’s address, of course! That way, I at least know where to find you if

you don’t come back after three days.”

Jeremy was first stunned, but he then smiled. “Are you that worried that I’m not going to come back?”

Corinne frowned. “Cut the crap and give me the address now!”

Jeremy held the peeled shrimp in front of her mouth. “Silly girl. If I say I’m going to be in the delivery

room with you, then I’m going to be in the delivery room with you.”

“I don’t care. I still want the address.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll text you the address later.”

“That’s more like it!” Corinne ate the peeled shrimp he held up to her, and she held up her pinky finger.

“Mister, let’s get back together after you come back from Molomia on the condition you won’t ever lie or

keep things from me again.”

Jeremy was a little taken aback by her gesture, but he quickly hooked his own pinky finger around

hers. “Okay, I promise you I won’t ever lie or keep things from you again. You get to decide everything

from now on, and we’ll live happily ever after.”

Corinne felt sad all of a sudden. The warmth from Jeremy’s hand spread to hers, and she really wished

he did not have to go. She tried to chalk down her overly emotional response to her pregnancy

hormones, but then again…

Both Lucas and Sunny came back into the private dining room not long after that. The four of them

engaged in some chit-chat while they finished their dinner. Then, they all went to the airport to see

Jeremy off.

Before he boarded the plane, Jeremy stroked Corinne’s face lovingly. “I’ll call you after I’ve landed.

Now, go back with your brother and rest up.”

Corinne nodded and watched as both Jeremy and Edmund entered the airport’s VIP passageway. She

remained standing there, lost in thought, even after Jeremy was long out of sight.

Lucas stroked Corinne’s head. “Come now. Let’s head back home.”

Corinne frowned. For some reason, she could shake off the tightness in her chest. “I can’t help but

think something bad is going to happen to him.”

Lucas understood how she felt. “Don’t worry. Adam might be a tough nut to crack, but Jeremy’s no

pushover either. I’m sure he’ll be fine.”
