“Mommy’s not feeling so well, and she asked for you to see her upstairs,” answered Anya.

Maxwell frowned. “She should ask for the doctor instead of me. It’s not like I know how to cure

whatever she has.”

Anya was stunned. Maxwell sounded just like Jeremy. ‘Is that how men treat the women they don’t love

anymore?’

Ever since she married into this family, Phoebe had been doing whatever she could to please Maxwell,

Cedric, and Beatrice, but she did not get the love and respect she hoped for. It was only because of

Anya and Sunny that she could keep her position as Maxwell’s wife.

‘Sometimes I wonder how a man’s brain works. I mean, why is Daddy still pining for his ex- wife and

daughter? He should be spending more time with Mommy instead. And that Jeremy… he’d rather

marry that scheming country bumpkin instead of me!’

Feeling sad for her mother, Anya decided to fight for her sake. “Daddy, maybe you should at least

check on Mommy. I heard Grandpa had invited a guest over today, and I’m worried that he’d think

Mommy’s a party pooper if she says she wants to go to the hospital today.”

Maxwell pinched the bridge of his nose. “Go back to your mother first. I’ll go check on her a bit later.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to accompany her, but I need to take care of Joey too! Daddy, please hurry up

to her room.”

Maxwell sighed and got up from the bench.

Sunny brought Corinne back to his room because he was afraid he would be scolded if caught him

being rude to Corinne.

Felix, who was doing Sunny’s math homework, was stunned to see Corinne in the room.

“Felix, get out now,” Sunny ordered.

“But I haven’t finished doing your homework yet…”

“Leave it, and get out now!”

“Yes, Mister Sunny!”

Felix put down the pen, happy to be relieved from his work since there were so many questions he did

not know how to answer. Sunny would definitely lay it on him once he found out there were so many

wrong answers, so Felix quickly ran out of the room.

Sunny shut the door tight after Felix left. He then turned around and shouted, “Corinne, you lying piece

of sh*t!”

Corinne looked around his room with a bored expression before pulling out a chair to sit on. Tell me,

what did I lie about?”

Sunny glared at her. “Don’t play dumb. You gave me your word you have no interest in Jeremy and

swore you won’t steal him away from Anya. But the last I heard is you’ve already moved

back in with him!”

“Yes, I’ve moved back in with him, but I didn’t steal him away.”

Sunny crossed his arms angrily. “Oh sure, you didn’t! You only needed to crook your finger and he

came running to you, right? You think you’re so great huh, Corinne?”

Corinne yawned lazily. “Did you bring me all the way here just to heap praises on me?”

While Sunny was admittedly angry at her nonchalant attitude, he was also somewhat used to it.

“Let me ask you something. Are you or are you not going to give Jeremy back to Anya?”

“I’m not,” Corinne answered without hesitation.

“Why not? Did you not mean what you said previously?”

Corinne smiled, hooked her arm around the back of the chair, and rested her cheek on the other hand.

“I was really disappointed in Jeremy when I gave you my word. Your precious sister caused a

misunderstanding between me and him. Fortunately, we’ve managed to clear it up. And now he likes

me, and I like him, so why should I give him to your sister?”

“Corinne Carew, stop making up excuses and just admit you went back on your word!”

“Oh, please. Do you think Jeremy will be with Anya even if I’m not in the picture? I mean, wouldn’t he

have married her already if that’s the case?
