Chapter 1402

Jeremy glared at Sophia to let her know she misspoke.

Sophia never received such icy treatment from Jeremy before. Even though he looked pale and

harmless sitting in a wheelchair, she could not help but feel chilled to her bones by Jeremy’s

threatening aura.

“From the way I see it, Corinne growing up in the countryside is one of her strengths and not something

to be ashamed of. I alone know how capable she is, and I feel like I’ve used up all of my luck for three

lives for her to agree to marry me.

“Plus, I don’t need my wife to come from the same status or background as me. It doesn’t matter where

she came from or what her background is… All of that isn’t important to me, because the most

important thing to me is that I love her.”

‘I love her…’ Those three little words caused Sophia’s face to darken.

She gritted her teeth and said, “Jeremy, why don’t you underst—”

“I understand everything now. I understand why you volunteered to help me out back then,” interrupted

Jeremy impatiently. “You say you’re helping me out as a friend, but you never planned to revoke our

marriage from the start. Don’t make me hate you completely when I’ve lost the gratitude I felt for you

already.”

Sophia’s heart ached when she heard the word ‘hate’ from the lips of the man she had been secretly

loving for the past 10 years. After all, it took her a lot of courage to finally tell him how she felt, and all

she got in return was his annoyance and hate.

After a long while, she suddenly smiled bitterly as though she had given up. “Sorry to disappoint you,

Jeremy. Think nothing of it, then.”

Jeremy turned his head away and fell silent. He did not even want to waste any second pretending to

be anything but mad at Sophia.

Sophia chuckled bitterly before saying, “Jeremy, I’m a little hungry. Can we at least have breakfast

before going to the city hall?”

“No. It won’t take long to revoke the marriage license. You can have breakfast after that.”

Sophia frowned with obvious hurt. “Jeremy… Do you hate me so much that you won’t even have

breakfast with me?”

“There’s really no need.”

“Jeremy, you say you love Corinne. You should know how much it hurts to not have your feelings

returned, right?!” screamed Sophia a little hysterically. “I love you as much as you love Corinne. And

we’re never going to see each other again after revoking our marriage. Even if you don’t have feelings

for me, can we at least have a last meal together seeing as we used to be friends before? Please,

Jeremy, I beg of you!”

Jeremy frowned. After giving it some thought, he finally said, “If you insist on having one last meal

together, we can eat after we’ve revoked our marriage.”

Sophia laughed self-deprecatingly. “I never knew you hated me this much, Jeremy. Heh… Fine. Let’s

have the meal together after we’ve revoked our marriage. At least we have a clear end to our

relationship.”

The only response she got from Jeremy after that was calm silence.
