Chapter 1442
She and him were like chalk and cheese, but somehow they just clicked. Everyone passing them by couldn’t help
but steal glances.
Out of the blue, Comelia plucked up the courage and poked his face. ‘I’m flirting with my hubby. Can’t you tell?”
Jeremy was left speechless.
This man, who never backed down in the business world, was now blushing. Flustered, he tried to change the
subject. “How’s Hannah’s situation coming along?”
Cornelia teased him. “Hubby, why are you blushing?”
Jeremy grabbed her fidgeting hand. “We’re discussing serious matters here.”

Getting bolder with every move, Comelia got Jeremy worried she might do something over the top in public. “Can
we talk about
Hannah?”
Taking into account Jeremy’s health and Cornelia having just given birth, they both knew it wasn’t the time for
intimacy, so Cornelia decided to play it cool. She earnestly said, “With President Dixon involved, I’m not too worried.
But Hannah doesn’t trust him, and mending fences with her might not be easy.”
Jeremy replied, “Steven saw the light earlier than Zavier, so there’s still a shot.”
Cornelia countered, ‘Not necessarily. Hannah has shared how Steven bullied her. He’s really broken her heart. If I
were her, I wouldn’t forgive him.”
Jeremy said, “Let’s drop it. What do you want for dinner? I’ll have Patricia get on it.”
Cornelia gave it some thought. Patricia’s cooking had improved by leaps and bounds, but Cornelia couldn’t decide
what she wanted. Having Patricia around and having just given birth, it had been months since she last went
grocery shopping or cooked. She felt like cooking a meal herself, enjoying it with her husband over a little wine and
just spending some quality time together.
She said, “Hold on, let me text Dr. Lester.”
Jeremy asked, “What are you texting?”
Without replying, Cornelia quickly typed, [Dr. Lester, can Jeremy drink?]
Dr. Lester responded promptly. [He’s always had a weak stomach. The medication he’s been on hasn’t been great
for it, either. Absolutely no alcohol at this stage. If he wants a drink, you have to stop him. You’re the only one who
can.])

Feeling a pang of guilt, Cornelia realized she hadn’t been attentive enough, [Actually, it’s me who wants a drink, not
him.]
Cornelia texted back, [Don’t worry. I won’t let him drink.]
Dr. Lester texted, (If you want a drink, I’ll send over a couple of bottles of my homemade juice. It tastes like alcohol,
but it’s alcohol–free. You can treat it as wine.]
Cornelia responded, [When did you come up with this brilliant idea?)
Dr. Lester replied, [All for Marc.]
Jeremy’s certain organs had been compromised, and there was no turning back. Dr. Lester had been thinking, that
if Jeremy ever craved alcohol but couldn’t consume any, it would be a real bummer. So, he began developing a
special juice months ago. The juice tasted similar to alcohol but was non–alcoholic, so Jeremy could drink it
whenever he felt like having a drink. Surprisingly, just as he finished creating this alcohol–free jujće, it found its first
takers.
