Jeremy leaned into the seat, so Corinne did not see him when she woke up. She just thought he was part of the seat. It was not until he moved his body that the light from outside of the car fell on his face.Corinne was not happy to see him at all. She frowned out of embarrassment and asked, "It's you! How… How did I end up in your car?!"Jeremy glanced sideways at her. "You should first ask yourself why you fainted on me of all people."Corinne remembered someone scooping her up from behind to prevent her from falling before she blacked out.'So it was Jeremy who saved me…' thought Corinne. She decided to be nicer to him since he did her a big favor."Sorry, I must've fainted because of low blood sugar. Thank you for saving me. Well, I guess I'll be off, then," she said.After that, she opened the car door. Jeremy did not stop her. Instead, he just said breezily, "I guess you don't want to see Nellie Nymphaea's self-portrait, then."Corinne's hand instantly froze, and she snapp

Jeremy did not let Corinne go. Instead, he muttered, "I didn't mean to lie to you. I forgot I was legally married to Sophia. It wasn't until I thought of marrying you that I remembered it. I planned to tell you everything after I revoked my marriage license with Sophia because I assumed you'd get angry at me if I told you before then…and I didn't want you to get upset while you're pregnant. I know this is all my fault…"Corinne fell silent after that. After a long while, she finally said, "Mister Jeremy, I don't think you ever see me as someone who can understand you. Now, it doesn't matter whether there's anything going on between you and Sophia. All the trust has gone from our relationship."After that, she tried to free herself from Jeremy's grip so she could escape from the suffocating car.…Jason went back to where he left Corinne with a bottle of mineral water in his hand. When she was nowhere to be seen, he started to look around for her in panic. Instead of finding Corinne

Sophia gazed admiringly at Jason before praising him, "I respect you, Jason. Not many men can be so forgiving about their partners' past."Jason simply smiled. Not wanting to talk about himself anymore, he asked her, "What about you?""What do you mean, what about me?""What kind of attitude are you bringing into your and Jeremy's relationship? I mean, you don't seem like you mind that he's having a baby with Corinne."Sophia did not mind telling him the truth since he was honest with her. "To be honest, I don't really mind. Worst comes to worst, I'll just raise the baby with Jeremy. Besides, I think I'm more compatible with Jeremy since our personalities complement each other's. We can just be ourselves when we're together. Jeremy might still have feelings for Corinne, but they're not compatible with each other. They're not going to be happy or last long together. That's why I think Jeremy will eventually choose her over me."Jason glanced sideways at her and sincerely smiled. "I

Sunny frowned. "What do you mean? Did Corinne go missing?""It's still too early to tell. I'm going to look for her nearby. Call me if she's back."After that, Jason rushed out to the elevator again.Sunny watched as Jason left, feeling confused.Xante, who just finished showering and was dressed in a bathrobe, came out of her room. "Who was at the door?""It was Jason. He came to look for Corinne. He said Corinne left the birthday party early, and it sounds like she went missing."Xante frowned and went back to her room to call Corinne. In the end, she got the same response as Jason—her phone was switched off.'This can't be good!' Xante ran over to her closet to change into something more presentable."Xante, are you going out to look for Corinne too?" asked Sunny when he saw her panicking."Yeah. Can you go home first?" she asked while changing.Sunny frowned. "No, I want to go with you!"As much as she did not want to bring Sunny with her, Xante had no choice but to let

Corinne smiled in a way that seemed polite and a little contemptuous altogether. "Is that so?"Lucas nodded. "Yeah! What happened with our mother had nothing to do with you! Yes, they did for a brief moment suspect that you were a product of an affair because of the rumors going around, but after they calmed down, they realized how wrong they were."Corinne scoffed. "Oh, how nice of them to think that!"Lucas sighed helplessly when he saw how stubborn Corinne was. His gaze went down to her protruding belly, and the worries of her leaving gripped him again. After thinking it over, he said, "Fine. I won't talk about the past anymore. But you don't want to see Jeremy, right? Well, I can guarantee he won't bother you if you just stay here."Corinne was a little taken aback and, to be honest, very tempted by Lucas' suggestion. She only came back to the city because Jeremy found out her hiding place in the countryside and also because the baby was about to be due.Even though Jason said
