“What are you all doing here?” asked Jeremy authoritatively.

Corinne and Sunny-who were still fighting over whether

there was a need to call the emergency hotline-immediately turned toward him.

Jeremy stood emotionlessly, staring at them coldly from far

away.

“Jeremy!”

The darkness in Anya’s eyes immediately dissipated when she realized Jeremy had come. She put on

her innocent doe-eyed look and ran over to him.

“Jeremy, I came here to apologize to Corinne for the misunderstanding between us, but it doesn’t seem

like she’s willing to forgive me,” she said with a pitiful sigh.

Jeremy glanced at Anya, and then at Sunny, before finally fixing his gaze on the jacket Corinne was

wearing on her shoulder. He narrowed his eyes unkindly and asked, “Whose jacket is that?”

Corinne did not know how to answer him.

A chill went up Sunny’s spine as he tried to explain, “Corinne said she was cold, so I gave her my

jacket to wear, and… She seems to be having an allergic reaction so I wanted to call an ambulance for

her, but she stopped me… Jeremy, you should talk some sense into her.”

Jeremy’s face darkened. He was already not happy to find out Corinne was wearing Sunny’s jacket, but

the fact that Sunny

stared worriedly at Corinne’s neck made him even angrier. After all, if Sunny’s gaze fell any lower, he

would be looking at Corinne’s plunging neckline.

Jeremy walked slowly toward Corinne, completely ignoring Anya. He gestured coldly with his chin and

said, “Be a good girl and give back the jacket to Sunny.”

“Okay.”

It was not like she wanted to wear it in the first place. Sunny was the one who forced the jacket onto

her after ripping the towel off her neck. In fact, she had forgotten the jacket was even on her as all of

her attention had been used to stop Sunny from calling an ambulance.

Corinne quickly took off the jacket and gave it back to Sunny. Subsequently, Jeremy took off his own

jacket and wrapped it around Corinne so that only her head would show. There was no way he would

let the others see her in that dress.

Sunny took back his jacket without making a fuss, but he still could not but worry about Corinne’s

‘allergic reaction’. He frowned and said, “Jeremy, about the hives on Corinne’s neck…

‘Why’s this kid still talking about her neck? Doesn’t he know to look elsewhere?’ thought Jeremy

angrily.

He narrowed his eyes and reprimanded him, “This has nothing to do with you, kid. Us adults will take

care of our own business. Take your sister to Lucas now. I wouldn’t want him to blame me should

anything happen to either of you.”

Jeremy then put his arm around Corinne’s shoulder to steer her back into the room.

Anya remained rooted to the spot in shock. She watched as Jeremy and Corinne went back into the

room. Without her even realizing, she was already chasing and shouting after them, “Jeremy, wait!”

Jeremy paused in his tracks and asked, “Yes?”

Anya looked at him with her big sad puppy dog eyes and said, Jeremy, do you still remember what

you’ve promised me?”

Jeremy turned back to look at her with eyes filled with mixed emotions. He was silent for a while before

answering softly.

“Yes. Don’t worry, I still remember.”

Anya nodded like a little girl. “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you then.”

Corinne had no idea what they were talking about, but when she looked back at Anya, she realized that

she was smiling in a way that gave her the creeps. Moreover, Anya deliberately put her hand on her

belly and looked at her provocatively.

Corinne suddenly remembered that Anya had a scar on her

abdomen. According to Anya, the scar was from a c-section. procedure. She even told Corinne that

she had a child with Jeremy.
