Chapter 769
“Then who’s going to drive you two home?”
Jeremy turned around and called his niece, “Annie, come here.”
“Coming!” She walked over to them, and Jeremy threw his car keys at her.
“Pull the car over,” he ordered.
Annie only had some juice and some soft drinks that night. She did not dare to touch the wine, not when Jeremy
watched her like a hawk.
After she caught the car keys, she rolled her eyes. “You only think of me whenever you want someone to be your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtminion.”
“Cut the crap. It’s howling outside, so pull the car to the lobby.”
“Fine…” She then went out to get the car.
Annie knew Jeremy was worried about Corinne catching a cold. Well, I should be glad that a fool like my uncle has
changed for the better after meeting his true love. I guess all that worrying about him dying alone was for nothing.”
She pulled the car into the lobby and honked twice to let Jeremy know she had arrived.
After bidding the rest of the guests goodbye, Jeremy steered Corinne to where the car was his hand around her
waist.
“Jeremy, wait!” rang Anya’s voice, mingled with the sound of her footsteps coming down the stairs.
Jeremy stopped and turned to look at her emotionlessly.
“Jeremy…are you leaving now?” said Anya, panting, once she was at the foot of the stairs.
Jeremy nodded. “Yes. It’s getting late.”
“Aren’t you going to say goodbye to Joey? He’s been burning up ever since you left,” said Anya pitifully.
Jeremy frowned. “Isn’t Lucas with him? Ask him to send for a doctor. Or you can take Joey to the hospital, too.”
“Lucas is with him, but…the one he’s asking for is his daddy.”
Everyone there knew Anya was madly in love with Jeremy, and they knew Jeremy could never say no to Anya. The
whole thing was so complicated that even Zeke, who liked to tease others, kept quiet. In fact, he felt a little sorry for
Jeremy.
Just when Jeremy was thinking about what he should do, Corinne smiled and said, “You’re right, Miss Anya, a child
does need his daddy. So why don’t you go find him one?”

“Corinne, what do you mean?” asked Anya pitifully. “Why do I need to look for one when Jeremy is his daddy?”
Smiling smugly, Corinne leaned against Jeremy and said lightly, “Oh, I’m sorry, but I don’t seem to recall my Jererny
ever having a kid with another woman. In fact, the only baby he has is the one I’m carrying right now!
“Do I need to make myself any clearer? Well, let me rephrase myself simpler for you. You should spend your time
looking for a guy who loves you and Joey instead of gaslighting someone else’s husband into being the father of
your child. I do wonder if there’s any moment in all of this when you’ve ever thought it
was wrong of you to pull all these shady tricks on Jeremy.”
Anya’s face turned pale with suppressed anger. Not once did she let her mask slip. “But…but… Jeremy and I
adopted Joey together…”
