Chapter 1484
Maybe it was because he had seen Corinne at the auction house earlier in the day and
thought she did not look like a bad person. He narrowed his eyes when an image of
Corinne flashed through his mind.
"What does your mother do?" he asked.
"My Mommy is super awesome. She's the president of my Daddy's company!" said Bryan
proudly.
A look of skepticism flashed across Jeremy's eyes. 'She's a president? But she doesn't look
like the type who can lead a company! After all, who'd follow a leader who looks that cute
and innocent? Also...'
"Didn't you say you don't have a father? Why is your mother helping him run the
company?" he asked.
Bryan frowned and pouted. His eyes shone as he answered, "Mister, you're not really that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsmart, are you? Of course I have a father! Otherwise, how did my Mommy make me? I
meant that my Daddy hasn't been with US since I was young, so I've never seen him
before. It doesn't mean my Mommy is a being that can give birth to a baby without a man.
Do you understand now?"
Jeremy was speechless. 'Well, he certainly schooled me.'
He did not think there was anything wrong with his question, but after being schooled, he
felt like he was rather dumb.
"Then where's your father now?" asked Jeremy again. He rarely showed any curiosity
toward other people, but for some reason, he really wanted to know more about Corinne.
Bryan looked down sadly and sighed. "That's the thing; we don't know. Apparently, he
went missing on the day my twin sister and I were born. My Mommy has been looking for
him everywhere over the years, but there was
no lead on him at all. She really misses him. Sometimes, she'll talk in her sleep, calling out
to him 'Mister'."
"Mister?" Jeremy’s chest suddenly tightened as the wave of familiarity and sadness
washed over him.
Bryan nodded. "Yes. My Mommy calls my Daddy 'Mister' because they have an age
difference of almost ten years."
Mister...' Jeremy snapped out of his daze. "Sounds like your father isn't a responsible man
at all. How could he abandon your mother while she was giving birth?" he asked with a
raised eyebrow.
Bryan's face fell, and he answered angrily, "Even though I've never seen my Daddy before
or know what kind of person he is, you still have no right to talk about him like that!"
Jeremy laughed when he saw Bryan all puffed up with anger. It was one of the rare times
he actually showed any emotion.
"Why are you so protective of me if you've never seen him before? Don't you think he
shouldn't have abandoned your Mommy like that?"

Bryan's feelings for his father were complicated, to say the least. After thinking it over, he
said seriously, "I don't know exactly what happened that time 'cause my Mommy wouldn't
tell US... But I trust her judgment of people. The fact that she was willing to marry my
Daddy means that he must be a great person. If not, she wouldn't have stubbornly waited
for him to come back until now. She wouldn't even look at other men out of respect for my
Daddy!"
Jeremy narrowed his eyes. ' Meaning to say, your Mommy has never accepted any other
men's advances at all?"
Bryan nodded resolutely. "That's right! It's not surprising other men would like her since
she's so pretty, but she wouldn't even give them any of her time. She mostly spends her
time running my Daddy's company because she said she has to protect my Daddy's hard
work."
Jeremy was stunned. He could not help but be impressed by Corinne's character. 'I guess
that's why people say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I'd never taken her for such
a strong woman by her looks alone.'
