Corinne nodded. “Thank you.”

As usual, she walked slowly up the stairs but halfway through, she stopped, turned around, and asked,

“By the way, Bowen. Have my things arrived?”

Corinne arranged the engagement gifts she got back from the Carews to be delivered to Holden’s

estate.

“Yes, ma’am. I’ve already asked the maids to keep it in the storeroom. Would you like to take a look?”

Corinne waved her hand. “That’s okay. Just remember to tell Jeremy about it when he’s back.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

She then continued on her way. The reason she got the expensive engagement gifts back was so that

she would not own the Holdens anything.

Bowen looked quizzically at Corinne walking up the stairs. He sensed there was something off about

her but he could not quite put his finger on just what it was. ‘Oh well, it’s probably nothing,’ he thought.

Then he quickly went to the kitchen to instruct the cook to make something for Corinne.

Before he left, Jeremy specially told him what to look out for in Corinne’s diet. She was allergic to quite

a few things so he told Bowen to doubly make sure no food that would trigger her allergy should make

way to her plate and because of this, Bowen would personally try all the food before giving it to

Corinne.

After taking a shower in her room, Corinne changed into a set of loungewear. Then she ate the lunch

brought by the maid and proceeded to take a nap. She felt easily tired as of late which she now knew

the reason to be because she was pregnant.

A feeling of unbelievable comfort spread through her body as soon as her head hit the pillow.’ I’m going

to miss this bed so much,’ thought Corinne, who got used to sleeping in the big bed.

Eventually, she dozed off while planning for her future.

It was late at night. The air turned cold and the wind was blowing fiercely.

Bowen got woken up by the sound of the wind and he immediately ordered the servants to check all

the windows were closed properly so that no dirt or cold air could blow in and disturb Corinne’s sleep.

At that moment, from the first floor’s floor-to-ceiling windows, a car’s headlight could be

seen shining into the yard and the sound of the car’s engine was getting closer and closer.

Bowen took a closer look at the car and realized it was Jeremy’s car. ‘Why did he choose to come back

at midnight?’ he wondered.

After a few minutes, Jeremy walked in hurriedly.

Bowen greeted him at the door. “Welcome back, Mister Jeremy.”

Jeremy took off his coat – which was still cold from the night air servant standing next to him.

and passed it to the

“Thank you. Where is she?”

Bowen naturally knew who he was referring to. “Mister Jeremy, she’s probably sleeping at this

hour.”

“Okay,” replied Jeremy lightly. He then walked past the servant and made a beeline upstairs.

He thought about her ever since she called him in the morning. In the end, he could not help but rush

back to see her. It was rare for Corinne to admit she missed him; that simple. admission of hers was

like a hook digging into his heart, luring him back to her.

He strode upstairs and not wanting to wake her up, he lightened his footsteps as he neared her room.

He turned the doorknob and was delighted to find it was not locked. ‘Why that little

rascal doesn’t lock the door when I’m not home.”

He massaged the space between his brows, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Then, he opened the

door and walked in quietly. The room was dark and the wind was blowing fiercely outside. There was

no moonlight filtering in, making everything seem so surreal.

“Hey, little rascal. I’m back,” whispered Jeremy gently. He sat down beside the bed and looked at the

spot where she always slept. However, there was no reply. ‘She must be sleeping very deeply,’ he

thought.
