Corinne had gained a lot of weight, and Greg noticed she was due soon. “Where have you been all these days?”
Corinne smiled without answering. She merely continued to drink her drink.
Jeremy followed her and knelt on the ground so he was level with her. He coaxed in a warm voice, “The drink is
cold. Even if you like it, you should drink too quickly or you’ll have diarrhea.”
Corinne frowned. “Then so be it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJeremy knew she was trying to annoy him on purpose. He answered her calmly, “Take it easy and drink slowly. You
shouldn’t go more than half a cup. I’m going in to check on the interrogation.”
Corinne answered absent-mindedly.
Jeremy patted her head and headed to the police station corridor.
After Jeremy left, Francine helped Pamela sit beside Corinne.
Corinne smiled politely in a somewhat indifferent manner.
Pamela sighed. “I heard what you said to Sophia.”
“Did it subvert your understanding of me?” Corinne looked up at Pamela. “Do you think I might’ve been too harsh
on Jeremy?”
Pamela shook her head. “I know that you’re a good and honest person. I understand why you left without saying
goodbye. I knew that they had gotten the certificate, but I didn’t tell you because I’m worried you might get angry
and dump that brat.
“I didn’t mean to hide it from you and tricked you into marrying. I know very well that my husband forced Jeremy
into doing that by using the operation as leverage. Jeremy had no choice.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCorinne listened while sipping on her drink.
Pamela continued, “You might not know this, but Jeremy has been stuck in a daze in the half a year that you were
gone. He never smiled, and he sent his people to look for you every day. I understand how important you are to
him, and I can also see his importance to you. You both love each other very much, so I hope you won’t get into too
big of a fight because of this misunderstanding. Come home with us later, Corinne.”
Corinne shook her head. “No. Not yet.”
Pamela felt a little hurt. “Why not? Are you still hesitant to give Jeremy a chance to turn over a new leaf?”
