“Oh, no reason in particular. I was just asking, that’s all,” Jason answered with a smile.
Jeremy scoffed lightly. “I see you haven’t changed at all, Jason. You always had a special interest in women who are
taken.”
Hearing this, Corinne looked at Jason incredulously. ‘Huh? What did Jeremy mean by that? Does Jason have a history
of breaking up couples so he could be with the women?’
Jason did not seem embarrassed by the accusation. “Oh, believe me when I say I don’t have that kind of interest in
the slightest. In fact, you could even say I was the victim in everything that happened before,” he said with a wide
grin.

Corinne’s curiosity was definitely piqued. She looked at Jason and then at Jeremy with her eyebrows raised. She
wanted to find out what happened between them in the past.
Jeremy remained emotionless when Jason said he was the victim. It was as if he was too lazy to expose his lies.
Instead, he continued to feed Joey some oatmeal.
Jason narrowed his eyes and said provocatively, “But I must admit, I have fallen for your wife!”
Hearing this nearly caused Corinne to choke on her milk. “Cough! Ack, ack!”
‘Is he crazy?’ she thought.
Jeremy threw Jason a calculative glance. “I dare you to steal her from me.”
Jason smiled. “Now, now. There’s no need to be so worked up. You never strike me as someone with low
confidence, so you can’t possibly think I’d steal her from you, right?”
Jeremy looked at him coldly before turning to look at Corinne, who was watching them eagerly as though she was
watching a soap opera. With a face filled with confidence, he turned to look back at Jason again.
“All I can say is you’re not going to steal her away that easily. Jason, I hope that you won’t test my limits since we’re
friends after all.”
Jason chuckled softly. “Is that so? When have the three of you ever seen me as your friend?”
‘Three of you? Does he mean Jeremy, Zeke, and Gerald?’ Corinne became even more curious. ‘This is even more
exciting than watching a soap opera!’
Jeremy simply said nothing. In other words, he was as good as admitting what Jason said was true.
Jason was not at all surprised by Jeremy’s silent admission. “You want me to honor the bro code when you never

Jeremy narrowed his eyes threateningly, causing the tension in the air to kick up a notch, so much so that Corinne
fretted they would end up in a fistfight.
Suddenly, Lucas’ voice broke through the silence.
“Didn’t your parents ever teach you two to not talk while you’re eating?” he asked as he hobbled in with his
crutches accompanied by Edmund.
Corinne was surprised to see Lucas there. She then frowned unhappily as she would have preferred him to rest at
home.
