Chapter 266

Xante hurried over to take the glass of milk from Corinne and placed it back on the coffee table. She

then drew out a piece of tissue and passed it to her before she helped soothe her back.

After a while, Corinne finally stopped coughing. “Xante,

you’re right. I’m in a bad mood today.”

Xante nodded and asked, “Okay. Why?”

When this topic was brought up, it seemed like fire was burning in Corinne’s eyes.

“Because Jeremy was ridiculous. I was having a good day, and he suddenly had me witness them

seeing each other again after a long time. Regardless of what really went on, I’m still his legally married

wife. That was very disrespectful.”

Xante’s lips stretched into a thin line. “That…really is too much.”

Corinne frowned unhappily. “I know he wants me to know his beloved woman is back, or maybe he’s

thinking of reminding me to watch myself and avoid causing the apple of his eye any misunderstanding,

but he could’ve used actual words to do that. It was totally unnecessary to let me live in that moment.”

Xante agreed by nodding. “Yes. It was very rude of him to do that.”

Corinne leaned back on the couch frustratedly. “That’s why I felt so annoyed and frustrated. How am I

going to be his wife when I’m stuck between them during the remainder of my contract period?”

“Oh, I see!” Xante curled up her lips into a smile. “Don’t go back. Let them live happily ever after and

just ignore them!”

That was exactly the problem Corinne had been thinking of. “I can’t. The contract is for three months,

and it’s only been half a month. I must honor the contract. Besides, that old man isn’t easy to deal with.

If I ran away halfway, I’m sure he’d search the whole world just to know where I went. It’s going to be

even more troublesome then.”

“So you’re going back tomorrow?”

“Yes. I only have one month and a half left. I have to bear with it, even when I don’t want to.”

Xante got up and went behind Corinne to massage her shoulders, feeling sorry for her. “I feel so bad

for you.”

Corinne pursed her lips. Honestly speaking, being Jeremy’s wife was even harder and more exhausting

than engaging in hard labor.

Ever since she moved into the Holdens‘ estate, her life had been so dramatic.

Xante thought about it and asked another question, “But… As someone who has experience, I’d like to

ask one more

question. Did you sleep with him during this period?”

The redness on Corinne’s cheeks remained after having her coughing fit. Although she refused to

admit it, she was honest. “Yes… Just once.”

“Did you use protection?” Xante furrowed her eyebrows. Admittedly, that was not the answer she

expected; she was just asking because she was being cautious.

Protection?

Corinne was stunned for a moment before saying guiltily, “No

It happened too suddenly, and it was a special situation. I didn’t think too much about it. I don’t think I’m

that unlucky to hit the jackpot by doing it once, right?”

“It’s hard to say. If you don’t want to have anything to do with Mister Jeremy after your contract ends,

it’s better to use protection in the future,” reminded Xante kindly.

Corinne’s pupils looked cold. “That was an accident, and it won’t happen again.”

Still, Xante looked worried. “Then…do you like him?”

Corinne chuckled. “Why would I like him? Because he’s old? Because of his hot temper? Because he

likes to bully me?”

Xante was amused by Corinne’s behavior; she looked rather cute in an arrogant way.

She smiled. “What I mean is, do you find him sexy?”

Corinne did not think too much of this question. “There’s nothing I can do that he’s sexy. He was lucky

to be born with a handsome face and a fantastic body. How can I say that he’s not sexy? He was born

with it, and it has nothing to do with my feelings. Don’t tell me you don’t find him sexy.”

Xante cleared her throat. “Of course, I think he’s not too bad!”

Suddenly, Corinne looked up at Xante. “Huh? When did you change your taste to mature men? I

remember you prefer younger guys.”

Xante lifted her glasses again and smiled suggestively. “I don’t mind a mature man. I don’t restrict

myself to just one type!”

Corinne studied the look on Xante’s face and started to sympathize with her ex–boyfriends, whom

Xante dumped after she got bored.

Corinne shook her head, feeling sorry for the boys.

“Xante, you’re not getting any younger. You should do more good deeds. Stop playing those guys and

be more serious with your relationship.”
