“You bet I did! Jason had the longest crush on Corinne since forever. His eyes will shoot out little love

hearts whenever he sees her. God, it’s so annoying!” grumbled Francine.

“Francine, there’s been no news from Uncle Jeremy for three years, so I think it’s time we do

something about Corinne’s love life. Jason’s not a bad guy, and he seems to really like her. More

importantly, he doesn’t mind that Corinne is a mother to three kids. That alone puts him above the rest.

I’m not going to stop him if Corinne’s willing to give him a chance,” said Annie.

Francine was not happy about that. “I’ll stop him, even if you don’t!”

Annie was still at David’s place, so she was not in the mood to deal with Francine at that moment. “Go

ahead and stop him, but this kind of matter isn’t really up to US. It all comes down to what Corinne

wants. That’s all I’m going to say on the matter. I gotta go now. Talk to you later.”

“Hello? Hello?! D*mn it!” At the disconnected tone, Francine put away her phone helplessly and went

over to play with Joey and Christine.

Back at the hotel’s presidential suite, Jeremy was watching cartoons on the television with ‘Benjamin’

while Sophia was making coffee in the kitchen.

While waiting for the water to boil, she kept on observing the boy sitting beside Jeremy.

After a while, the hotel’s room service delivered a fruit platter, and she brought it over for Jeremy and

the boy to eat.

They were watching a cartoon that ‘Benjamin’ never watched before.

Suddenly, Sophia had an idea. She picked up a piece of cantaloupe and fed it to Benjamin’.

“Benjamin, why are you watching this cartoon? I thought your favorite is the one with the robots and

iron giant,” she asked with a smile.

‘Benjamin’ turned and glared at her. “Those are getting boring. Why can’t I watch new cartoons?”

Sophia’s smile froze. She nearly lost her temper but managed to compose herself at the last second.

“Of course you can. I was just curious, that’s all.”

‘Benjamin’ continued glaring at her. He did not eat the fruit she fed him, and after a while, he went back

to watching the television.

Sophia secretly gritted her teeth. She then took out a toy figure from his toy box and asked him,

“Benjamin, do you remember who bought you this toy?”

Benjamin’ got irritated whenever he heard her voice. He glanced at the toy figure. “You did!”

Who else could it be since Jeremy could not go out?

Sophia was about to say something else when Jeremy beat her to it.” Sophia, why not just let the kid

watch the television?”

‘So he thinks I’m annoying, too?’ thought Sophia with a frown. She turned to look at him. “Zachary, I’m

just worried. It won’t be good for Benjamin’s eyes if he watches the television for too long.”

“He won’t watch it for long. He already promised me that he’ll stop after this episode,” said Jeremy

calmly.

Sophia’s face turned red. ‘He’s making it sound like the kid is none of my business. But how can he not

be? He’s my kid too, and I’m the woman of the house!’

After thinking it over, she moved closer to Jeremy and said softly,” Zachary, I can’t help but feel that

Benjamin has changed. Do you feel the same way, too?”

Jeremy looked at her with complicated eyes, then back at ‘Benjamin’ nonchalantly. “Nope. I don’t think

he’s any different than before.”
