Corinne was speechless. 'Why the heck did he have to say something like that in front of Chester?'Corinne tried to push Jeremy away so she could get off his lap, but he would not let go.At that moment, Bowen came back."Ma'am, I found what you've asked for."All three of them turned to look at him and saw he was carrying herbs in his hands."Let me go! Can't you see my items are here?" said Corinne.Jeremy had no idea what the branches were for, but he let her go regardless.Corinne stood up and took the sage leaves from Bowen. She then turned and whacked Jeremy with them.As confused as he was, Jeremy did not dodge from the beating as it did not hurt.After a few rounds of whacking, Corinne gave back the sage leaves to Bowen and asked him to burn them.She then sat back down on the sofa and said to Jeremy, "You just came back from a place where you were held against your will. The sage leaves will be able to cleanse and purify your energy."Jeremy smiled and said, "That's

Corinne could not even formulate words at the moment.Francine and Chester were stunned, but they nodded tacitly.After that, Jeremy carried Corinne upstairs in an authoritative manner.As unwilling as she was to go up with him, Corinne knew it was futile to fight him. Based on her understanding of him, the more she struggled, the more it would excite him.Happy tears streamed down Francine's cheeks again as she watched Jeremy carrying Corinne up the stairs. 'He's home! My brother is really home!'Chester passed her a tissue. "Here. Use this to wipe your tears, or your makeup will be ruined."Francine snapped out of her thoughts. She turned to look at Chester."Oh, no. Don't tell me you find me annoying too," she said with a pitiful pout.Chester burst out laughing. Worried that she might be overthinking again, he moved closer to her and wiped away her tears for her. "Silly girl. You should know that I'll never find you annoying."Francine turned bright red. She took the tissu

Corinne turned to find Pamela smiling at her from the kitchen."Come have your breakfast, Corinne. We saved some for you."Corinne nodded, walked to the dining room, and sat at the table. Pamela instructed the servant to serve her some piping hot breakfast before she sat down next to her."Dig in, Corinne."Pamela was absolutely glowing with happiness, and the reason for that was, of course, Jeremy."Grandma, why didn't anyone wake me up this morning?" asked Corinne after she took a bite of her food.Pamela grinned and said, "Well, Jeremy wouldn't let anyone do that. He asked us to let you sleep in since you had an exhausting day yesterday. Eat more, Corinne. You need all the energy you can get. They always say that 'absence makes the heart grow fonder', so I'm sure you have a lot of catching up to do with each other."Corinne started blushing when she heard that. 'D*mn it! Jeremy must've said something to make Grandma think we were up to no good last night!'"Um… Grandma, last

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.Emily, who was about to dig into her bowl of chicken soup, raised her head and stared at the door expectantly.Lilin ran over and opened the door.Sure enough, Corinne was standing outside."Miss Corinne, you're finally here! You have no idea how much Miss Emily has been looking forward to your visit!"Corinne nodded and said, "Sorry, I've been so busy these past two days. I only have some time to spare today."The excited Lilin was about to grab Corinne's hand and pull her in but realized that someone else was already holding her hand.Only then did she notice that someone was standing beside Corinne. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw who it was. "Z—Zachary? You can stand?"Jeremy's face darkened when he saw Sophia's half-sister, even though Melinda and Lilin never did anything to him as Sophia did.He ignored Lilin and held Corinne's little hand tighter.Hearing Lilin call out Zachary's name in surprise, Melinda stood up a

Jeremy took out his phone to make a call as he walked out of Emily's ward. After giving some instructions to the person on the other end of the phone, he hung up.Suddenly, a person came to him and intercepted his path."Zachary!"A surge of disgust gripped Jeremy when he heard Sophia's voice. He looked up from his phone and saw Sophia standing in front of him, looking like she was about to cry.Sophia did not have the appearance of one of those delicate girls, and he had long wanted to remind her that this pitiful expression was not suitable for her. However, he was not in the mood to deal with her, so he walked past her without a second glance.Sophia obviously had no intention of giving up, not after finally meeting him again. She suddenly hugged him from behind and shouted with tears streaming down her cheeks, "Zachary! Don't do this to me! I… I love you so much… I've done and given you so much! Why won't you love me back?"Her cries attracted many people's attention, and the
