Chapter 755
Corinne nodded again. “I want to go home.”
Jeremy asked nothing else and gently hugged her shoulders instead. “Okay. Then we’ll go
home.”
“We?” Corinne frowned. “Aren’t you going?”
Jeremy gazed down at her. “No one is going to pay the bill for me if you don’t go, so there’s no point in me going.”
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “I can transfer the money to you so you can make the payment.
Jeremy said sternly, “Don’t bother. I’m in no mood to drink with them if you’re not with me. I’m afraid you’ll run
away again.”
‘Seriously?’ Corinne could not stand that reverse-psychology trick and felt as though Jeremy was trying to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmanipulate her.
“Fine. I’ll go with you.”
Jeremy smirked, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, “I know you’re tired, but we’ll go home as soon as I have a
couple of drinks with them. I promise to let you sleep well tonight instead of making you toss and turn.”
When Corinne heard the phrase ‘toss and turn’, her face reddened in an instant, and the blush extended as far as
her collarbone. “Mister! You…”
Annie moved her curious head over. “What did you say to Corinne to make her blush?”
Jeremy raised his hand expressionlessly and pushed Annie’s head away mercilessly. “Kids shouldn’t be such
busybodies. Don’t ask around like that.”
Corinne kept quiet.
Annie’s head hurt from Jeremy’s push, and she rubbed the area while pouting. “Hmph! I’m not a kid anymore! It’s
not wrong!”
By the time Corinne, Annie, and Jeremy reached Lunar Century Manor, Zeke, Lucas, Gerald, and Jason had all
arrived there and were chatting over a couple of drinks. They then looked at the entrance when they heard the
door open.
Zeke raised his glass. “Our guest of honor is here!”
Lucas looked at Corinne with a gentle gaze. However, that tender expression turned to gloom when he looked at
Jeremy.
His younger sister was the most angelic girl in the world, and she should have found a gentle and considerate man
of similar age to love her. Unfortunately, she foolishly found a scheming older man, and she got the short end of
the stick compared to Jeremy.
Gerald has always been a quiet man, and he had a calm expression as he clinked glasses with Jason.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJason had a wry smile on his lips as he saw the couple walk over. He sipped his wine silently, but it somehow tasted
extra bitter.
Jeremy approached them with Corinne in his arms, and he said naturally, “Let me introduce you to my wife,
Corinne.”
He then sat down with his arm wrapped around her waist.
Zeke was the first to toast him. “Congratulations, Jeremy! You finally married a beautiful woman!”
Gerald took the chance to offer a toast as well. “Congratulations, Jeremy.”
Lucas watched coldly and did not join in.
At that moment, a glass of wine was abruptly offered to Corinne. “Congratulations on your marriage, Corinne.”
Corinne was taken aback for a moment. She looked up and saw that it was Jason.
She picked up the juice that Jeremy handed her and clinked glasses with Jason. “Thank you.”
Jason did not say anything else and smiled as he finished the glass of strong liquor.
The atmosphere became slightly tense.
All of a sudden, Jeremy’s cell phone rang.
