Chapter 390

Chapter 390

Marvin looked up at Jeremy, who was a good head taller than him, and decided to follow his lead in

playing the part of the wise, old elder. He nodded admiringly and loftily said, “What a good son–in–law

you are! I’m sure we’ll get along just fine.”

Lilliana smiled and said, “Jeremy, you must be tired from work. As your mother, I’ll be more than happy

to cook you some of my signature dishes later.”

Bowen, who stood beside them, frowned unhappily. For a moment, he thought he heard wrong. ‘Did

Missus Carew really call herself Mister Jeremy’s mother? She shouldn’t do that even if she’s his

mother–in–law. I do not like them. They have no boundaries and no manners.‘

Jeremy narrowed his eyes, and there was no hint of emotions on his face. He raised his head at Bowen

and said, “Please make sure Corinne’s parents are well taken care of while I go upstairs to check on

her.”

“Yes, Mister Jeremy,” replied Bowen.

“Jeremy, wait! I want to go upstairs to look for Corinne, too!” said Sherlyn as she chased after Jeremy

and deliberately got close to his tall, strong body. She wanted to prove to Bowen that she would be

able to go up since Jeremy was back. ‘Let’s see if that stupid old man would dare to stop me this time!‘

She was also worried that Corinne would shamelessly seduce Jeremy into bed if they were left alone in

the room together.

Jeremy stopped in his tracks and looked unkindly at her. There was coldness in his eyes as he said,

“I’m afraid that won’t do.

Why don’t you wait in the living room for us? I’ll bring her down right away.”

Sherlyn was stunned. ‘What? Why…‘

She did not expect that she would be shot down like that.‘ Didn’t Jeremy welcome me just now?‘

Bowen–who witnessed everything that happened–could not help but think she deserved it. ‘She’s one

delusional woman, alright. I wonder what makes her think that Mister Jeremy cares about her. Doesn’t

she know that Mister Jeremy

wouldn’t even be talking to her if not for the fact that she’s Ma’am’s sister? Calling her delusional is the

understatement of the century.‘

However, Sherlyn was not about to give up that easily. She leaned seductively toward Jeremy and said,

“Oh, come on, Jeremy. I just want to follow you upstairs to check on my little sister. I’m sure that’s no

big deal.”

She made to grab Jeremy’s arm, but he moved away from her, not giving her a chance to touch him.

“What are you doing?” he asked with darkened eyes.

Sherlyn was shocked that in return for her warmth, all she received from Jeremy was his anger. She

did not know what to do. “Um… I…..”

‘What’s going on? All the men I’ve seduced in the past would gladly accept me with open arms. Why is

Jeremy so cold toward me?‘ she wondered.

At that moment, Corinne’s languid voice came from upstairs. ” Mister, you came back just in time!”

Jeremy looked toward the source of the sound, and his cold
