Chapter 748

Annie’s lament drew Corinne and Jeremy’s attention, who both frowned concernedly. ‘It’d be best if this

sucker for love doesn’t get into too many relationships.’

The waiter then came in and served some appetizers.

Annie seemed to be in a trance, so Corinne placed some salad on Annie’s plate. “Why are you.

spacing out? Didn’t you say you were hungry? It’s time to eat!”

Annie came to her senses and smiled. “Thanks!”

Corinne then placed some food into Jeremy’s plate too, lest that petty man start getting jealous over his

niece.

Annie was a chatterbox who continued to talk while she ate. “By the way, have you and Corinne

obtained your marriage certificate?”

Corinne and Jeremy were stumped.

Jeremy tilted his head and glanced at Corinne. “Not yet.”

Annie frowned seriously. “Why not? Aren’t you afraid she’ll run away with someone else one day if

she’s unhappy? Getting the certificate should be a priority! You should make sure to lock her down after

all that effort you took to get her back!”

Jeremy was speechless.

He did not respond to what Annie said and had a slightly complicated expression on his face. He then

picked up the glass of water and took a sip.

Corinne did not take Annie’s words seriously at first, but Jeremy’s silence caught her attention. ‘He

doesn’t seem to want to get a marriage certificate with me.”

Annie thought that Jeremy was just trying to act tough and was worried about getting rejected. if he

asked about it.

She then said on Jeremy’s behalf, “You and Uncle Jeremy should get the certificate done tomorrow.

That way, the two of you won’t have anything to worry about in the future!”

Corinne glanced at the man beside her. Upon seeing that he was still silently drinking his water, she

slowly took a bite of her food and said, “There’s no rush.”

Annie looked puzzled. “No rush? What do you mean? Haven’t you two had enough fun? Why aren’t

you getting the certificate as soon as you can? If I’ve identified the person that I want to be with for the

rest of my life, I’d be excited to get the marriage certificate!”

Corinne looked down and said bluntly, “A marriage certificate is just a piece of paper. Its purpose is to

protect both parties’ assets and facilitate asset division during divorce. I don’t want his money, so

there’s no point for me to get the certificate. Even if you get it early, it won’t be able to stop you if you

one day decide to get a divorce! It’s unnecessary for those who are confident that they’ll remain with

their partner for life.”

“Wow! That makes sense!” Annie was stunned. She then had a look of admiration as she said, You’re

such a sassy woman! I’m going to learn from you to be confident in my relationships and walk away if I

have to!”

Corinne smiled, said nothing, and continued to eat.

After listening to Corinne’s views on obtaining the certificate, Jeremy’s complexion changed subtly. He

narrowed his eyes, and his thoughts remained an enigma as he kept quiet and placed the glass down.

The atmosphere started to get a little awkward.

As dull as Annie was, she could sense that something was amiss. She looked at the silent Jeremy, and

then at Corinne who ate quietly, and was puzzled. ‘Why are they so quiet now when they were so

lovey-dovey with each other earlier?’

Annie was particularly uneasy because of that awkward atmosphere, so she thought for a while and

decided to strike up another conversation. “Ahem! Even if you don’t get a marriage certificate, you still

need to take a set of wedding photos to commemorate your marriage!”
