Chapter 661

The man continued, “I know it’s very wrong for a married man to accompany another woman to adopt a

child, so I didn’t know how to tell you. But I couldn’t refuse Anya’s request either because she saved

my life years ago by sacrificing herself and was poisoned, resulting in irreversible damage to her body.

She can never conceive again. So I’ve always felt deeply indebted to her and tolerated some of her

inappropriate behaviors.”

Corinne relaxed and lowered her gaze, listening to him speak.

“You asked me before what Anya lost because of me. I didn’t say it because I promised the Riveras

that I wouldn’t disclose the fact that their Miss Anya can’t conceive and couldn’t tell anyone. But I was

wrong. You’re not just anyone; I should have been honest with you and told you all this earlier.”

A strange sense of bitterness filled Corinne’s heart. She was even a little unaccustomed to seeing this

cold and dominant man speaking so humbly in front of her.

Jeremy held her tighter as if he was still worried and afraid that she might be angry and run away

again. “Anya always said that she loves children and wants to have her own. But she can’t conceive

anymore. Later, she asked for my help. She wanted me to accompany her to an adoption agency

abroad to adopt a child. The reason is that they don’t require marriage there, and couples in a

relationship are allowed to adopt. She said that as long as I help her with this favor, it would settle the

debt of saving my life back then, and she won’t disturb our lives anymore.”

“Before you appeared, Anya used to cling to me, and I could tolerate it to some extent. But after you

came into my life, it would be unfair to you if I continued to have excessive contact with other women.

So, I’ve always hoped to make up for my debt to Anya as soon as possible, and that’s why I agreed.”

Corinne frowned upon hearing this and raised her head to glance at him. “But later on, weren’t you

frequently with Anya and that child?”

Jeremy sighed, “I’ve never raised a child before, so I didn’t anticipate there would be so many problems

involved in raising one. I oversimplified things.”

“After returning to the country, Anya said she couldn’t tell her family about the adoption for the time

being. She was afraid they wouldn’t understand and would send the child away. She asked me to

temporarily arrange a place for her and the child to live.

“There were also many issues with raising the child. Whenever she encountered something she didn’t

understand, she would call me in a panic, asking me what to do. I arranged childcare experts for them

gradually.”

“However, she still occasionally called me, asking for help with different excuses. After all, I was the

one who helped her adopt the child, so I had a responsibility. If there was something I could do to help,

I would try to go there.”

“But it was just to lend a hand. Usually, after helping them solve the problem, I would leave. Other than

that, there was nothing more.”

Hmph!

Corinne sneered inwardly. This was Indeed a tactic that Anya would use.

After the man finished explaining, he asked her, “Do you have any more doubts? I can explain

everything clearly.*

Corinne shook her head. “No.”

The man sat up straight. “You have no more questions, but I do. Now it’s my turn to ask you!”

Corinne blinked. “What other questions do you have?”

The man narrowed his sharp eyes and stared at her trembling eyelashes. “What is your relationship

with Aaron Rhode from Newmoon Group?”

Corinne looked embarrassed and opened her mouth. “We- we’re husband and wife.!”

The man furrowed his brow. “Tell me the truth!”
