“You’re not lying to me…right?” asked Corinne.
Jeremy hugged her tightly and rubbed his chin on her head. “Do you know how sad I was when after all the effort I
took to come back here, you wouldn’t even let me kiss you?”
His expression was so sincere that Corinne had no reason to not believe him.
“Well, I worry about you too. Next time, can you please let me know when you’ve landed safely?”
She looked up, pulled his head down by his tie, stood on her toes, and kissed him.
Jeremy was caught off-guard by the sudden affection. Nonetheless, he smiled and placed his hand behind her head

Corinne felt a little suffocated as though her brain was running out of oxygen. Somehow, Jeremy managed to take
the lead from her. They were so engrossed in their kiss that they had no idea someone was watching them from
some distance away.
Various plants and trees were in the summer villa, and bamboo was the most common. Cedric had a soft spot for
bamboos, so almost every corner of the garden would sport a small thicket of bamboo forest.
Lucas and Jason, standing in one of the bamboo forests, were looking at Corinne and Jeremy kissing. Both of them
were thinking of different things.
Lucas never liked anyone from the Holden family, especially Jeremy, his business competitor. However, he could do
nothing since Corinne was obviously smitten with his archnemesis.
An angry frown appeared on his face when he saw them kissing. ‘That b*stard is taking advantage of my poor
sister!’ he thought. He wished he could just rush over and beat Jeremy up, but he knew he had no right to do that
since Corinne would not accept him as her brother.
Jason’s eyes dimmed when he saw Corinne wrapping her arms around Jeremy’s neck and standing on her toes to
kiss him. He never felt so jealous of another man in his whole life!
Similarly, he had never been so smitten by a woman either. It was love at first sight for him, so much so he could
not help but talk to Corinne when they first met.
Therefore, it was not hard to imagine his disappointment when he found out Corinne was already married to

her like a moth to a flame whenever he saw her.
He also knew Corinne did not like him. It would be more accurate to say she hated him, but still…he could not help
himself. At first, he thought someone like her would treat Jeremy the same way she treated him. When he saw
Corinne kissing Jeremy, however, she realized she actually loved him.
A girl like Corinne, who worshiped freedom above all else, would not stay by a man’s side unless she really loved
him. Just like a bird, no tree could make it stay unless it willingly gave up its freedom.
Women always flocked to Jason ever since he was young. After all, countless women would throw themselves at
him whenever they found out who he was. Thus, he was not inexperienced when it came to dating.
Throughout it all, however, he never knew what it was really like to fall for someone.
