Anya let go of her blouse and straightened her clothes out before raising her head slowly and looking at Corinne with a sympathetic yet goading gaze. "Jeremy never told you that we have a child, did he? Can you still tell me with confidence that you'll trust him unconditionally?"Corinne narrowed her eyes slightly. "How old were you when you got pregnant? Where's the child now?"When she saw Corinne asking for more details, Anya surmised that she must have struck a nerve with that remark. She therefore smiled and said, "I thought you said that you trusted Jeremy a lot? Why don't you ask him for the details? But then again, I don't think Jeremy will admit to it or tell you the truth even if you ask him."Corinne seemed to have become exceptionally curious, and she raised her eyebrows while saying, "Okay then, I'll take your statement at face value. If you had a child with him and you're both in love with each other, then why don't the two of you just get married? As far as I know, Je

Everyone inside the villa living room was chatting enthusiastically with each other, but as soon as Corinne walked in, they all turned to her and stared at her with curious glances."Who is she? Why did she come in like this?""Is she trying to seduce someone with that wet, see-through look?""How the hell is she supposed to do that when she's wearing denim shorts?""Don't you think she's super pretty though?""Who came with her? Why didn't I see her around earlier?"They speculated on her identity while staring at her and evaluating her appearance.Corinne did not care one bit about their gazes when she came in, and her main purpose there was to look for Zeke—the villa's owner—so she could ask him whether or not he could spare her a set of clean clothes.However, Zeke had never returned after his supposed 'bathroom break', and he was nowhere to be seen on the first floor of the villa. 'Isn't he the birthday boy? Where did he go?'As Corinne was looking around, Jason—who was b

"Thank you."Corinne had always been quite casual about it, so she did not mind sharing the towel. After accepting the towel, she wiped away the water on her face before drying her hair.Jason smiled at her. He was the perfect gentleman, albeit the previous instances where he would constantly tease her with ill humor. He knew not to cross the line."Corinne, you can rest here for a while. I'll ask my secretary, Angie, to bring some clothes to you later.""Okay. Thanks again, Kind Sir!"Corinne did not have any intention to keep him in there. She was a married woman after all, so it would not be good if she was seen with another man in a room. She had to keep her distance at all costs.Jason smiled helplessly when he heard Corinne referring to him as 'Kind Sir'."Corinne, if you really want to thank me, you should call me by my name instead of giving me a nickname."Corinne raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. "Why? You don't like being called a kind sir? I, for one, think it's the p

Jeremy entered the guest room and saw Corinne standing next to the bed with her back against the door and drying herself off with the towel.Her unbuttoned shirt was half-hanging off her shoulders and from the back, he could see her beautiful collarbone, slender neck, and fair back. He had never seen those parts of her body before, not even at home.'I can't believe she didn't lock the door before undressing. What if it was not me but another man who came? Does she want the whole world to see her half-naked body?'Thinking of that made his eyebrows draw together, his face darkened, and his jaw tightened.When Corinne heard someone come in, she did not turn around but instead said, "Thank you, Angie. You can just leave the clothes on the shelf over there."'What? She didn't even turn her head around. What a heartless woman,' thought Jeremy.The frown on his face became deeper. He narrowed his eyes. 'Looks like I need to teach her a lesson.'Click!Jeremy locked the door."Who a

Jeremy stroked Corinne's hair as though she was a cat."I'm just saying it like it is. You know Anya saved my life, so I have no choice but to make sure I can give her a reasonable explanation. I wouldn't have gone through all that trouble if it was any other person. Earlier, I wanted to come in with you but Anya suddenly vomited everywhere and kept calling for me, so I—"Corinne rolled her eyes and interrupted him, "Say no more. I can see where this is going."Jeremy raised an eyebrow. "Do you now? Well, where is this going?"Corinne sat up a little straighter in his lap and said confidently, "I understand your dilemma, Mister, because Anya is your savior and she lost something irretrievable to save you back then. So, you feel like you're deeply indebted to her. Therefore, you can't just leave her alone whenever she's in some sort of trouble. Am I right?"Jeremy did not deny what she said. "Yeah, I'm sorry. Please give me a little more time to repay her kindness. Once that's done
