Sophia casually put her lipstick back into her bag. When she looked up, she saw Corinne looking at her in confusion.
This caused her to laugh. “What? You don’t believe me?”
Corinne threw the tissue she used to wipe her hand into the trash can. “What makes you think I’d believe you? After
all, no wife would wish for her husband to be reunited with his mistress, no?”
Sophia shrugged nonchalantly, but she suddenly nodded. “To be honest, I do mind a little. But I like to think in the
long term. You’ll forever be the one that got away for Jeremy if you never turned up. He’d forever miss you and
think of the what-ifs no matter how much I try to make him forget you.
“However, if you guys get back together, reality would do the work for me. You’ll start getting sick of each other,
then Jeremy will stop loving you and come back to me so we can live happily ever after. By the way, we have a

“Oh, I get what you’re thinking now.” Corinne was actually quite impressed by Sophia’s intelligence. She was
evidently more manipulative and more transparent than Anya.
Sophia smiled. “It’s not wrong for me to think that way, right? I don’t care how many women Jeremy’s been with.
All I can care about is which woman gets to grow old with him, and I have a feeling it’s going to be me. So you see,
Miss Corinne, you’re nothing but one of the many women who’s just passing through his life.”
Corinne smiled, too. “You’re right. You’re probably the only woman who’s willing to grow old with him. Even if it’s
not you, it won’t be me because I have no interest in that old fart whatsoever.”
Sophia blocked Corinne from leaving. “But you’re carrying his kid inside of your belly!” She then touched her belly
without asking for permission.
Corinne immediately stepped back with alarm. “This baby belongs to me alone. He has nothing to do with the baby
at all!”
Sophia smiled kindly. “Don’t get me wrong, Miss Corinne. I have no other intention. I like kids, so I can’t wait for the
baby to be born.”
Corinne was starting to think Sophia was demented. However, after thinking it over seriously, she thought Sophia
might just be another victim of Jeremy’s. She probably did not know Jeremy was playing with her, which was why
she agreed to marry him.
With that thought in mind, Corinne stated her position sternly. “My baby will come safely into this world, and I alone
will take care of him. I won’t let anyone who doesn’t have anything to do with me or him get close to him.”
Sophia, however, retorted, “No, that won’t do! The baby belongs to Jeremy, so it’s best to raise him with the
Holdens. As a matter of fact, I’m confident I can be a good stepmother to the baby. I’ll do whatever I can to bring
the baby up to be an exceptional human being.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCorinne had never met a woman as delusional as Sophia before. She did not want to waste her breath talking to
her, so she stepped around her to get out of the restroom as fast as possible. However, she must have walked too
fast as she accidentally bumped into someone.
“You’re such a klutz!”
Corinne’s heart tightened when she heard the familiar voice. She looked up and saw Jeremy looking down at her
with disgust.
She instinctively took a step back and apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t see you just now.”
Jeremy scoffed coldly and lifted her chin roughly. “What were you thinking about that you didn’t even bother to look
where you’re going?”
Corinne did not like him touching her, so she smacked his hand away. “Nothing! Please behave yourself, Mister
Jeremy. Keep your hands to yourself while speaking to me!”
