Chapter 942

Jeremy wiped his hair with a dry towel. He sat at the edge of the bed and saw Jason’s message when

he glanced at her phone.

His expression turned gloomy. “Do you still contact Jason in private?”

Corinne looked at him. “Not at all. He sends me messages once in a while, but I’ve never once replied

to him.”

Jeremy’s tone sounded a little displeased. “When did he send you a request?”

Corinne never intended to hide the truth from him. “When you and I were done with the wedding

photos, he sent a friend request invitation to me after we left the Lunar Century Manor. I didn’t accept it

at the time, but he kept sending requests several times every day. I felt a little bad ignoring him, so I

accepted it.”

Jeremy leaned closer to her and rubbed her head. “Ignore him whenever I’m not around.”

Corinne blinked curiously. “That was what I planned to do all along! But isn’t he your good friend?

Shouldn’t I show a little more courtesy to your friend for your sake?”

Jeremy stared into her eyes and said, “You don’t have to show courtesy to anyone for my sake. You

have the freedom to entertain or ignore anyone if you so wish.”

Corinne narrowed her eyes. “Does that mean you don’t like Jason very much? I heard that you and he

are childhood friends.”

“There are different levels of friendship, even among childhood friends.”

“Are you closer to Zeke and Gerald, then?”

Jeremy frowned slightly. “Why are you so concerned about all of them at this late hour? Let’s go to

bed!”

Jeremy lifted her blanket and got in. The fresh and fragrant smell of his shower gel filled the air.

Corinne blushed and felt a little awkward at that moment. “You’ve already bathed, but I haven’t! I’m

going to do so right now!”

The man wrapped her in his arms and pressed her tightly into his embrace. “Don’t bother. Just let me

hug you!”

Corinne looked up at the man’s handsome chin before protesting with a frown. “I can’t sleep without

taking a bath!”

Jeremy moved his chin closer and rubbed it on her head. “I’m just going to hold you in my arms as we

sleep. I promise I won’t do anything to you tonight. Go to bed!”

“Mister…”

“Be good.”

Corinne felt helpless. She was hugged so tightly that she could not move even if she wanted to. She

planned to wait for him to fall asleep before getting out of bed to take a shower, but his scent was so

pleasant that she fell asleep before she knew it.

The next day, Corinne saw Jeremy sleeping soundly beside her. That did not happen very often as

Jeremy usually left for the company before she woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes today, she saw Jeremy lying on his side. He was resting his head on

his hand while staring at her with a half-smile. She had no idea how long he had been looking at her

like that.

A little uneasy, she frowned. “Why haven’t you left for work? And why are you looking at me like that?”

Jeremy said, “I don’t have much to do at the company today, so there’s no point going there too early. I

can still make it in time after having breakfast with you.”

The previous day’s incident had caused the Holdens’ stock market value to plummet, yet he seemed so

unperturbed by it. By right, he should be heading to the company as soon as he could to reassure his

shareholders.

Corinne frowned. “You don’t have to look at me like that, do you?”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “Is looking at my wife against the law now?”
