“You know very well who the baby’s father is!” said Jeremy.
Corinne pulled her bathrobe tighter before smiling mockingly at him. “Aren’t you just a little bit too confident of
yourself? How sure are you that I didn’t sleep with another man while we were together?”
Jeremy’s eyes darkened as he narrowed them. “You’re willing to go so far as to ruin your reputation just to get rid
of me, huh?”
Corinne remained silent.
Jeremy’s expression gradually became more contemptuous. “Don’t worry, I didn’t come to harass you. I just came
to warn you that you better not sleep with another man while you’re still pregnant with my baby!”
Corinne frowned. She did not like the way he was ordering her around. “You can’t tell me what I can or cannot do!
We’ve broken up, remember?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJeremy glared at her. “Fine. Do whatever you want, but let’s see how long that lasts!”
“What do you mean? What are you going to do?” asked Corinne with alarm.
Jeremy scoffed coldly. “Why don’t you put on some clothes? You should be ashamed to let other people see you
dressed like this.”
“How… How dare you!”
Jeremy said nothing. Instead, he simply turned around and walked out of the room.
Jason, who had been knocking nonstop, was taken aback when the door suddenly opened. He was about to rush
inside to check on Corinne when Jeremy blocked him by putting his arms up.
“She’s changing, so don’t go in.”
Jason paused. After calming down, he looked inside and sighed with relief when he saw Corinne unharmed. He then
closed the door for her.
“Jeremy, I know that you and Corinne used to be together, but you should respect her choice of leaving the
relationship now that she doesn’t want to be with you anymore,” said Jason.
Jeremy looked at Jason coldly. “And who are you to speak to me like that?”
Jason was slightly taken aback by the question, but he quickly smiled and said, “I’m speaking to you as someone
who’d like to be in a relationship with her. Hope that’s fine with you.”
“No, I’m not fine with it,” said Jeremy expressionlessly yet authoritatively. “You can’t have her even if I don’t want
her anymore. Just stay away from her, and I won’t make you pay for helping her escape.”
Jason’s stunned expression was replaced by a sardonic smile. “Jeremy, are you sure you want to have bad blood
between us?”
Jeremy was half a head taller than Jason, so he looked down at him imposingly. “You’re the one who asked for it, not
me. You should’ve known something like this would happen the moment you helped Corinne escape.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJeremy shoved his hands into his pockets, turned, and walked away.
“What are you still standing there for?” he turned back to ask him threateningly after a few steps. “Do you plan to
stay here for the night?”
Jason shrugged. “It’s still morning right now. What are you talking about?”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes unhappily. “Then why aren’t you leaving?”
Jason’s lower jaw tightened, but then he quickly flashed Jeremy his signature smile before knocking on Corinne’s
door. “Corinne, I’m leaving now, but I’ll come back later to check on you.”
He then followed Jeremy out of the place without getting any reply from Corinne.
Both Jeremy and Jason had left by the time Corinne finished changing and came out of her room. She opened the
entrance door, which was opposite the elevator, and saw the elevator door closing slowly with Jeremy and Jason
inside it.
Jason smiled at her, while Jeremy stared at her with bloodshot eyes.
Corinne did not understand why Jeremy was staring at her like that, but for some reason, she could not help but
feel pity for him when she saw how exhausted he looked.
‘Are you crazy, Corinne? How can you feel pity for a man who played with your feelings?’ she berated herself.
