Chapter 273

Jeremy repeated one particular sentence coldly, “You don’t care if I sleep with her anywhere outside of

the house?”

Corinne nodded. “That’s right.”

In that instant, Jeremy’s face turned as dark as ink and as cold as the depths of an icy pond. His lips

twitched as he let out an unnerving chuckle from the bottom of his throat.

Corinne got ready to go to the guest room after finishing her words. She patted Jeremy on the shoulder

like he was a friend and said in a teasingly ‘concerned‘ tone, “You were exhausted last night, weren’t

you? Make sure you have a good rest. Don’t overexert your body even though you snagged yourself a

beauty!”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “What did you think I was up to last night?”

‘I know what I did! Where did you get the nerve to put words in my mouth?‘

Corinne curled her lips. “Mister, what I’m trying to say is that excessive indulgence can cause

premature aging even though you’re still strong and energetic now. You need to learn how to control

yourself for the sake of your long–term happiness!” she said, then walked past the man and strolled to

the guest room alone.

Unfortunately, Jeremy grabbed her by her back collar as soon as she walked out of the room. Next,

Jeremy picked her up like a ragdoll and brought her into the bathroom, the door of which he slammed

shut and locked.

Corinne was thrown into the bathtub by the man in a rather harsh manner, and he turned on the shower

to splash water all over her body. Because she was unprepared for what

happened, she coughed twice after being drenched in the water and frantically leaned on the edge of

the bathtub. “What are you doing, Mister?!”

Jeremy stood by the bathtub and looked condescendingly at her. “Your brain seems to be clogged with

dirt, so I think it’s about right that I wash it with water.”

“You’re the one with something wrong in your brain!” Corinne muttered angrily. She grasped the edge

of the bathtub and stood up from the slippery bathtub to try and get out.

Her slippers were not non–slip, and it was only natural that she would slip by accident and was about to

fall face–first onto the hard floor!

She thought that she would hurt herself badly, but she ended up being grasped by Jeremy.

The posture was rather awkward, and she wanted to get off him as soon as possible after she

stabilized herself. However, he did not give her the chance to do so and held her lower body in his big

hands. He turned around while still holding her, and then placed her right on the bathroom sink.

Corinne’s body was too wet, and since she slipped down when she was put down on the sink, she

instinctively hooked Jeremy’s neck but let go as soon as she sat firmly.

She wanted to get down from the sink and leave the bathroom as soon as possible, but his arms were

propped on both sides of her body, locking her in between. Even his body was

standing between her legs against the sink and her waist, preventing her from escaping his shackles.

His posture and their intimate distance were embarrassing.

The clothes on Corinne’s body, which were drenched with water, clung tightly to her skin and

highlighted her slender and exquisite figure, leaving little to the imagination. She was a little ashamed

and angry as she said, “What are you doing?!”

Jeremy leaned over, approached her, and whispered, “Didn’t you suspect me of being too sexually

indulgent last night? How about I show you what true indulgence looks like from me?”

Corinne was startled and a little scared. “I… I was joking! Can’t a grown man like you take a joke?”

The man locked her two restless little hands to the top of her head, pinched her pointed chin, and

raised her as he said in a charming, hoarse voice, “You’re right. I can’t take a joke. I’m too serious.”

His turbulent aura, along with his reproaching tone, came crashing right in her face.

Corinne’s heart was in a mess, and she closed her eyes as if to escape the ordeal.

“It hurts…”
