Chapter 517
Corinne did not want Jeremy to know where she lived so she said politely, “You don’t have to go through all that
trouble to send me home. It’s enough for you to simply drop me off at the exit, and I’ll take a taxi from there.”
Seeing that she was not going to give him her address, Jeremy simply said, “Drive us back to
the mansion.”
“Yes, Mister Jeremy.”
“What? He’s taking me back to the mansion? What’s the meaning of this? Is he out of his mind? I don’t want to go
back to the mansion with him.’
Corinne gritted her teeth. She had no choice but to tell him the name of the apartment she was staying in.
“Baelon Garden. That’s the apartment I live in.”
Jeremy gestured with his chin indifferently, signaling Tommy to tell the driver to change
course to Baelon Garden.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTommy overheard the conversation between Jeremy and Corinne, and he felt sorry for Jeremy. ‘Mister Jeremy has
been looking all over the place for Miss Corinne only to learn that she has a new husband. Poor him… How can he
ever accept that?”
Soon, they arrived at Baelon Garden.
“Thank you for dropping me home. Please get home safely.”
After saying that, Corinne immediately got out of the car and ran into her apartment building.
Seeing that, Tommy was at a little loss for words. After a while, he turned around to ask Jeremy where to next but
realized he had also got down from the car and was following Corinne into her apartment building.
‘He must be going in to check out Miss Corinne’s new husband…’
Corinne got into the elevator and pressed the button for the floor she was staying at. The elevator door was about
to close when a large hand suddenly stopped it, causing the elevator door to open once more.
Then, Jeremy strode in calmly.
Corinne was stunned to see him entering. She frowned unhappily and asked, “Why are you following me?”
“I’m thirsty and was hoping to get something to drink at your place. Surely you won’t mind
that, right?”
Corinne was speechless. ‘What makes him think I won’t mind?! In fact, I mind it very much! Just what the hell is
going through that man’s brain?’
The elevator was already going up by then, but Corinne still had not given up.
“Mister Jeremy, it’s late, so it won’t be appropriate for me to invite you back to my place. Think of what the
neighbors would say if they saw me, a single woman, and you, a single man, going in together, sowhy don’t you…”
Jeremy tilted his head and looked down at her with his sharp and penetrating eyes. “Why do you sound so worried?
Isn’t your husband at home?”
Corinne was once again quite speechless. She realized she had no choice but to let Jeremy into her place because
she knew that no matter what excuse she came up with, or how she turned him down, he would not take a no for
an answer. That was how overbearing he could be.
“Please sit wherever you like, Mister Jeremy. I’ll make something for you to drink right away, “Corinne said sulkily
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmafter they had gone in and changed into her indoor slippers.
Jeremy watched Corinne go into the kitchen before turning around to go into the living room. Instead of sitting
down, he looked around and examined every corner of the apartment.
“This floor offers an excellent night view from the balcony and the layout is quite good as well. She couldn’t possibly
afford to buy an apartment with this quality… Not when she has just graduated. Does this mean she really has a
new husband? Did they buy this house after they got married?’
However, he also noticed that there did not seem to be any trace of a man in that apartment.
There were no photos of them together including wedding photos. There were no men’s shoes in the foyer. There
was nothing a man would use in the living room. Plus, the decorations were mostly geared toward single women.
They did not seem like something a couple of newlyweds
would have chosen.
Jeremy was going over the questions in his mind when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the direction of the
bedroom. ‘Could that be the husband?’
He frowned and snapped his head around.
