Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “Corinne Carew, do you have any idea how—”
“Jeremy, you came to the restroom too?” interrupted Sophia cheerfully as she came out of the restroom.
She then walked up to Corinne and held onto her elbow like they were best friends. “Jeremy, I got the chance to
meet Miss Corinne in the bathroom. Don’t worry, I’ll help her back to the table. You just go ahead to the restroom.”
Jeremy glanced at Sophia darkly and said nothing. Instead, he turned back to go into the restroom.
As soon as he was out of sight, Corinne pulled her arm away from Sophia and dusted off her sleeves before walking
off.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSophia followed after her. “Corinne, it looks like Jeremy still cares about you.”
Corinne scoffed. “Is that so?”
“Of course! I’ve known him for twenty years, so I can tell at a glance whether he’s interested in a particular woman.
Can you please get back together with him?”
Corinne looked at Sophia in disbelief. “As Jeremy’s wife, you want me to get back together with him?”
Sophia broke out in laughter before answering, “Yeah! I promise I won’t get jealous if you two get back together.”
Corinne rolled her eyes until she could not roll them anymore. “You’re one crazy woman, alright.”
She then started to make her way out of the restaurant, but Sophia pulled her back. “Corinne, where are you
going? Grandma Pamela is waiting for you to go back to the table.”
Corinne shook off her hand. “I’m already full, so I won’t be going back to the table. Please help me say goodbye to
her.”
Corinne took another step, but Sophia immediately blocked her path. “No! I can’t let you go like this! Jeremy will
think I chased you away by saying something mean if you leave now.”
Corinne smiled. “Well, didn’t you?”
Sophia shrugged. “I was just making it clear to you my position on this matter. Plus, I already told you I hope you
and Jeremy will get back together, so how can you say I’m being mean? Come on, please stay. Don’t make things
difficult for me.”
Corinne’s eyes darkened. “You disgust me, Sophia. In fact, you and Jeremy are a match made in heaven! He has a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlegally married wife, yet he pretended he was single so he could string me along. You, on the other hand,
pretended to be generous enough to let your husband hurt others. I can’t even tell which of the two of you are
more evil!”
Instead of getting angry, Sophia actually laughed. “Oh, Corinne, don’t say that. You should look on the bright side!
How many women wanted to be hurt by Jeremy but didn’t get the chance to do that? You, on the other hand, got
pregnant with his kid. If you ask me, I think he’s very good to you already.”
Corinne felt like she was about to throw up. “Move aside!” she shouted impatiently.
Sophia remained unmoving. “No! I told you I can’t let you leave like this!”
