“Alright, I’ll get into the car. Thanks for doing this though.”
Corinne walked over to where the McLaren was parked. Tommy walked a few steps before her and respectfully
opened the door for her.
As soon as she got into the car, Corinne was enveloped in a thick haze of cigarette smoke. Jeremy was smoking in
the car, and even though the car window was open, it still was not enough to make the smoke dissipate.
‘He’s smoking more than usual… Seems like it was just one cigarette after another from when he was at Lunar
Century Manor…’ thought Corinne.
Thinking of the baby in her tummy, Corinne was not happy about the second-hand smoke in the car, but she knew
she had no right to complain about it since it was not her car. What she could do was roll down her window to make
the smoke dissipate faster.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter doing that, she said politely, “Thank you for giving me a ride, Mister Jeremy. You can just drop me off at the
end of the highway and I’ll take a taxi home.”
Jeremy leaned lazily against the back seat with a cigarette in his right hand. He cocked his head. to look at her and
suddenly chuckled drily appeared on his mature and handsome face.
Corinne was made very uncomfortable by the way he was staring at her. She did not even know why he suddenly
chuckled like that.
‘What’s he laughing about? Did I say something funny?’ Corinne wondered.
After a while, Jeremy asked coldly, “Where have you
been?”
“What?”
Corinne was confused. She did not understand why Jeremy askee her that.
Jeremy looked sideways at her and asked authoritatively, “I’m asking where you’ve been this. past month.”
Corinne blinked awkwardly at him. “Nowhere in particular. Just here and there.”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes, took a drag of the cigarette, and blew out the smoke. His mocking tone did not fully
disguise the emotion he was feeling when he said, “Just here and there? Would you have covered your tracks if you
were only traveling here and there? Do you really wish that much for me to not find you?”
“I did it out of habit. You know how I am with my privacy. Besides, why were you looking for me?” asked Corinne
lightly.
Jeremy nearly exploded when he saw just how nonchalant she was being. It was as if she did not care about him at
all.
‘Oh, how I wish I could strangle this heartless woman right now.’
“Did you seriously just ask why I was looking for you?” Jeremy asked with a frown.
Corinne turned her head away from him and stared blankly at the passing scenery outside the window.
“Yeah. I mean how would 1, a nobody, ever know what the high and noble Mister Jeremy is thinking of,” she said

Jeremy reached out his hand, grabbed her chin, and forcefully twisted her head to look at him. He then brushed her
cheek with his long, bony fingers as though he was doing a quality check.
“You’re thinner than before,” he said coldly. He could not only tell but feel it as well because every inch of her body
had been imprinted in his mind.
When he held her in Lunar Century Manor, he could feel her waist was tinier than before. In fact, she was nearly all
skin and bones. He thought that she would gain some happy weight in the month that she was not with him.
Therefore, he was surprised to see her become skinnier than before.
Corinne did not like to be touched without her consent. She backed away disgustedly but still could not get out of his
reach.
She frowned unhappily and said, “Mister Jeremy, please take your hand away from me. We’re not close enough for
you to touch me.”
Jeremy scoffed. “We’re not close enough? Have you forgotten that we’ve even done more than
this?”
