Annie pouted. “No, I don’t want to leave! It’s nearly morning, anyway! Let me stay here with you until then, and I’ll
take a cab home after that.”
Marcus got angry at her because of Aaron, so she wanted to collect her thoughts before having any contact with
Aaron. She knew if she went downstairs then, Aaron would never let her go back home. It was best to stay with
Corinne and leave after Aaron had left.
“By the way, I managed to get some details about Sophia. Do you want to hear them?” said Annie in a tone that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaimed to evoke curiosity.
Corinne was resting against the headboard and scrolling through her phone. Her expression became slightly
intrigued when she heard that. She looked up and said to Annie, “Speak.”
Knowing she had gotten Corinne’s full attention, Annie sat on the floor and put her elbow on the bed, her chin
resting in her hand as she told Corinne what she knew.
“I’m sure you’ve noticed Uncle Jeremy kept a clear boundary between himself and Anya, even when he mistakenly
thought she saved him years ago. However, the same could not be said for Sophia as he would sometimes allow
her to cross his boundary. Do you know why that is?”
Corinne instinctively frowned. Thinking back, she realized Jeremy did not treat Sophia as coldly as he treated Anya.
He forced himself to endure whatever Anya wanted him to do as he felt like he owed her for saving his life.
However, he was not so sensitive toward his personal space when it came to Sophia.
‘What else could be the reason? It’s because they’re legally married!’ thought Corinne. Her chest would inevitably
tighten at the thought of that.
Her anger toward Jeremy came rushing back, and she wished to never see him again.
Seeing Corinne’s expression darkening, Annie quickly said, “Hey, let’s not get ahead of ourselves! Let me explain.
When Uncle Jeremy first met Sophia, he thought she was a guy. He treated her as he treated Zeke and Gerald for a

became blunted.”
Corinne looked at Annie with a frown. ‘What kind of stupid reason is that? She must be desperate for me to get
back together with Jeremy to think I’d fall for this lie. How can anyone mistake Sophia for a guy when she has huge
boobs and a big *ss?’
“Corinne, you have to believe me. Look, here are some old pictures of Sophia.” Annie quickly took out her phone
and showed pictures to prove the validity of her words.
Corinne looked at her phone skeptically for a few seconds before her expression turned into one of shock.
She saw a very skinny Sophia dressed in a man’s T-shirt and shorts. What made her look even more like a guy was
her buzzcut and tanned skin. She had no makeup on and looked like she had not hit puberty yet since her chest was
as flat as a guy’s. Anyone would be rightly forgiven for mistaking her as a guy.
