Chapter 843
After leaving the ward, Corinne and Jeremy walked to the end of the corridor. They glanced out of the window at
the small garden for patients to have a stroll and exercise.
Corinne was bored, so she turned around and wrapped her arms lazily around his waist. She buried her face in his
chest and rubbed her face shamelessly.
It was not often that she would throw herself into his arms. Jeremy allowed her to do as she pleased, but he was
also keenly aware that she was not her usual self.
“Are you in a bad mood?”
Corinne turned her face so it was facing the man’s chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. Men are all buttfaces,
aren’t they?”
“What?” Jeremy frowned. There was a difference of nearly 10 years in their age gap, so there might be occasions
where he did not fully understand the slang used by young people such as her. Nevertheless, he could tell that the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtword ‘buttface’ was a derogatory term.
Corinne’s gaze was vapid, and she had a sarcastic smile as she explained, “Just look at Mister Maxwell. He comes
from a renowned family, dresses nicely, and speaks in a well-mannered tone, but he cheated on his wife with
another woman. Now that he abandoned his wife and married the mistress, he doesn’t care about her anymore!
Do all men lose interest in their wives after marriage?”
Jeremy felt that she was testing him, so he said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry. I’m only interested in you.”
His serious confession left Corinne feeling a little weird. She curled his lips and said, “But that’s because you and I
haven’t gotten to know each other better yet! You might get bored of me after we’ve been together for a long
time!”
Jeremy raised his hand and massaged the back of her head reproachingly. “Haven’t gotten to know each other
better? We’ve gotten to know each other inside and out. How much deeper do you want us to know each other?”
The phrase ‘know each other inside and out’ was very suggestive, and Corinne could not help but blush as she
rolled her eyes and stared angrily at him. “I’m talking about feelings and our time together! Not… ‘that”!”
Jeremy cocked his eyebrows slightly. “And by ‘that’, you mean…?”
Corinne was so irritated that she removed her arms from him and slammed her fist against him. “I’m not talking to
you anymore! You’re being indecent!”
She then turned about and was about to run away.
Jeremy stretched his arms and pulled her back so he could hug her tightly. “Stop letting your Imaginations run wild!
I know you’re hurting because of what you see, and you’re extrapolating what your mother experienced to our
relationship. Don’t think of me in such a bad light. I’m no longer at an age where I want to fool around. I know what
I want, and I only want you for the rest of my life.”
Corinne was hugged so tightly that she felt warm and grounded. His fresh, mature, and masculine scent comforted
her greatly. 1
“Let’s agree right now. If you get tired of being with me one day, you’re free to be with someone else. But you can
never cheat on me before we break up. I hate cheaters and being cheated on! Just be straight with me and let me
know if you get tired. I won’t hold either, and we can break up on good terms so you can be with your new love!”

Men hated it when women talked about breaking up. “Don’t be silly and entertain all these wild thoughts! I’m not
going to break up with you, and you shouldn’t break up with me either!

Corinne acknowledged that she liked him very much at the moment, and she believed that Jeremy’s words were
genuine.
However, she was not a lovesick woman who would let her feelings get the better of her, she was not going to let
herself be fooled into thinking that ‘eternal love’ existed.
As a result, she still insisted on her beliefs and said, “I firmly think that it’s better to talk about the ugliness of reality
before we’re in too deep. If we end up separating for whatever reason in the future, custody of the child will belong
to me. I want us to sign a prenuptial agreement!”
Jeremy frowned. “Does it have to be that way?”
“It’ll set my heart at ease!” Corinne nodded.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “And what if I don’t agree to sign that sort of thing?”
and
Corinne’s gaze was sharp. “Then it shows that deep down, you’re afraid that the prenup might come into force
because you believe in the possibility of our separation in the future!”
