Lucas scoffed. “I shouldn’t have let Corinne marry Jeremy!”
Jason patted Lucas’ shoulder again. “Come now. You don’t want to hurt your foot again, so just wait here patiently.
I’ll go look for Corinne on your behalf.”
After that, he strolled out of the office nonchalantly.

Jeremy opened the wardrobe and noted she did not take any clothes with her at all.

Sophia. You must be Francine. Your brother has told me so much about you.”
Francine frowned. “Are you close with Jeremy? What are you doing at our home?”
“Yeah, we’re pretty close. We go way back.”
Francine looked at her with alarm. ‘If she’s close with Jeremy, how come he has never mentioned her? Could she be
