Chapter 930

Annie listened to Corinne as though she was receiving the gospel.

“To be honest, I’m not sure if I’ll be okay with an open relationship, but I really like him… And I don’t

wanna give up just yet.

Corinne, can you teach me how to be okay if the relationship ends?”

Corinne sighed. She knew there was no stopping Annie, so she patted her shoulder and said, “You

shouldn’t be scared of getting

hurt if you like him that much. Whether you’ll come out of the end of a relationship unscathed depends

on your nature. I can’t

teach you that.”

To be honest, Corinne was not that confident whether she would be okay should Jeremy break up with

her one day.

“That’s all I have to say on this matter. You should just follow your heart,” she added. After that, she got

up so she could go

outside to give Aaron a scathing phone call. ‘I told him to leave Annie alone, so what the hell is he

doing proposing to her?! He

must be trying to piss me off!’

She walked out of the room and was about to find a quiet place to call Aaron when she saw a tall,

handsome figure walking down

the stairs. She did not need to see his face to know that it was her husband, Jeremy.

‘Shouldn’t he be downstairs? Did he just come up? Was he heading up to look for me? That can’t be

right. He would’ve knocked

on Annie’s door if he was looking for me. Was he just using the bathroom upstairs?’ thought Corinne.

Corinne decided not to overthink the whole thing, so she went into the bathroom not far away and

closed the door to give Aaron

a call.

Aaron picked up on the second ring. “What’s up, Boss?” he asked nonchalantly.

Enter title…

“What the hell were you thinking?” hissed Corinne. “What do you mean, Boss? What are you talking

about?” he drawled lazily. “Don’t play dumb! Why did you propose to Annie?”

The playfulness in Aaron’s thickened. “Ah. That. It’s been so long since I’ve met such an innocent girl,

so I thought I’ll ask her to

marry me to see her reaction.”

Corinne knew Aaron could not be serious about Annie since he had not been serious about any girl

ever since his first love

turned him down. She felt anger welling up inside her, but she kept her voice composed. “Didn’t I tell

you to leave her alone? Do

my words mean nothing to you?”

What she did not add was Annie, the lovestruck fool she was, might just kill herself if she knew she was

getting played.

Aaron could sense Corinne was livid, so he became serious. “Hey, calm down, boss. Did she really ask

you for your blessing?”

“What do you think?” Corinne retorted.

Aaron was pleasantly surprised. “Wow, it’s been so long since a girl actually believed me!”

At that moment, Corinne wished she could punch Aaron in the face.

“Aaron, I warn you. You either take this relationship seriously or make her hate you forever. But you

have to do it in a way that

doesn’t hurt her soul or pride. I’m going to make you pay if anything happens to her!”

Aaron was jealous. “Boss, why are you threatening me like this? She’s an outsider, isn’t she? Have you

forgotten she’s Jeremy’s

niece, not yours? Don’t tell me she’s more important than me to you!”

Corinne’s tone became calmer after two seconds of silence. “It doesn’t matter whose niece she is. Just

know that she’s a good

girl, and I won’t allow you to break her heart. Understood?”

“Fine. I promise I won’t do anything to her anymore,” said Aaron, giving in.

Corinne hung up the phone, and she was startled to see the angry expression on her face when she

looked up at the mirror. ‘It’s

been so long since I’ve scolded Aaron like that… Is he right? Do I care so much about Annie because

she’s Jeremy’s niece?

No… This doesn’t have anything to do with Jeremy.
