Chapter 400

Corinne neither liked Anya nor had any interest in chatting with her, but her actions seemed to suggest

that she had something to say to Corinne.

However, speaking to Anya face-to-face would be better than having to deal with Anya’s behind-the-

scenes scheming. Corinne withdrew her arm, patted the creases on her sleeves, and nodded to Anya

as she curled her lips slightly and said, ” Let’s talk then.”

Anya’s expression froze because Corinne’s action of

withdrawing her arm was a clear sign that she rejected Anya’s touch. At that moment, Anya’s deer-like

eyes blinked blankly, as if innocent, pitiful, and unsure of what it was that she had done wrong.

The two of them went to the small gazebo in the villa

courtyard, and Anya was the one who spoke first. “I’m starting to notice that Jeremy is quite fond of you

and treats you very well these past few days.

Corinne figured that their conversation would be boring and pointless, so she took two skewers of

grilled meat before going over with Anya and replied to her while eating, “Does he?”

A somewhat bitter smile unfolded across Anya’s face. “It seems so. I’m sure you’re very happy now

that he’s being very kind to you.”

Corinne thought for a moment and said bluntly, “I don’t feel anything special in particular.”

Anya then smiled wryly again and lamented, “I used to be like

24

this when I was with Jeremy. Every day was a happy day for me. It’s such a shame that men are so

fickle. They tend to forget about past relationships once a new woman comes along…”

Corinne was chewing on her barbecued meat when she froze as soon as she heard what Anya said.

She turned her head to look at Anya and asked with a frown, “When were you two in a relationship?”

Anya then raised her hand to cover her mouth, as if she had just realized that she had misspoke. “Oh,

didn’t Jeremy tell you? Umm… I’m sorry about that, Corinne. Guess I said something I shouldn’t have.

Just pretend you didn’t hear anything and don’t take it to heart!”

Corinne nodded with a smile. “Sure.”

She then continued eating and no longer asked any further questions.

It was Anya who ended up being stunned. She had never expected Corinne to have such an indifferent

reaction to her statement. Other girls would probably be very curious to find out more about their

boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend.

“Aren’t you curious about what happened between myself and Jeremy?”

“I am,” Corinne said as a matter of factly, and her tone was still as frank and indifferent as before, “But

even if I’m curious, I can always ask him myself. You don’t have to trouble yourself and waste your

breath.”

Anya was startled by that response and looked at Corinne with a sympathetic gaze. “Are you that

naive, Corinne? Didn’t you

ever consider why Jeremy never took the initiative to tell you about it after you’ve been with him for so

long? Do you think he’ll tell the truth if you ask him about it right now?”

“I’m sure he will,” Corinne said without the slightest hesitation, and there were zero traces of doubt in

her indifferent expression.

Her answer made Anya’s mind blank for a moment, and she immediately frowned as if she was

shocked by how much Corinne trusted Jeremy. Despite her initial bewilderment, she smiled again and

said, “You seem to know very little about men, Corinne. To be honest, all men prefer their new

relationships rather than their past ones. If they wanted to make their current girlfriends happy, they

would never admit to the wonderful memories they had in their previous relationships.”

Corinne cocked her eyebrows disapprovingly. “Is your dear Mister Jeremy as fickle as those other

scumbags in your eyes? Why would you still like him so much then if that’s the case?”

Corinne’s pointed question left Anya dumbfounded for a moment, but the latter soon said, “Since you’re

being so frank with me, then I might as well extend the same courtesy to you. I don’t like Jeremy-I love

him! I’ll love him in all his flaws, and in fact, all the world’s men are the same. Do you honestly believe

that a loyal man exists?”

Corinne narrowed her pretty eyes. “When you say that, you are denouncing not only Mister Jeremy, but

your father and brothers too. Aren’t men all the same? Do you view your father and brothers in the

same light as well? Are they just as fickle as all other men?”

Anya had already expected that Corinne would refute her, but she was not as stunned as she was

earlier and merely lamented helplessly, “I’m not denouncing them. I’ve just seen too many fickle men in

my life, and that includes my family members. They can never stick to one woman. My father once had

an ex- wife, and as chaste as my brother is, he sometimes has different women keeping him company.

I do hope you’ll understand the reality that all men are the same. Once the

fresh excitement is gone, they’ll start to lose interest in their current partners regardless of how

beautiful or amazing their women are.”

Corinne finally understood the point that Anya was trying to drive across. “You’re warning me, then?

Are you trying to tell me to be mentally prepared for the day that Mister Jeremy will get tired of me and

start disliking me? Or else I should leave him as soon as possible and quit while I am ahead?”

Anya nodded kindly. “I’m glad you get the point, Corinne.”
