Corinne’s face turned beet red from the dirty talk. “Jeremy Holden! You…”
Jeremy leaned down and put his forehead against hers. “I, what?”
Corinne glared at him. “You better stop now, or… Or I’m going to get angry at you!”
Jeremy kissed the tip of her nose before playfully ruffling her hair. “Fine, I’ll stop now. Go put on more clothes. It’s
cold outside. I’ll take you to Annie’s house after you’re done changing.”
“That’s more like it!” Corinne sighed in relief. She walked past Jeremy to get her clothes from the closet.
She was about to take off her T-shirt to change into a sweater when she sensed Jeremy staring at her intently. She

“It’s not like I haven’t seen your naked body before,” said Jeremy with a smirk.
He was standing casually at the other side of the room with both of his hands shoved inside his pants pockets. He
was dressed in only his white shirt, which was bulging out with his toned muscles. His tie was pulled loose, revealing
his neck. He was the epitome of an alpha male.
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “It’s not because of that! I… I just don’t trust you not to do anything to me.”
After that, she decided to change in the bathroom.
Jeremy stopped smiling and pinched the bridge of his nose.
Corinne was right; he could not help himself around her. It was as if she had him under some sort of spell. ‘I should
control myself a little since she’s pregnant,’ he told himself.
The two of them went downstairs and told Pamela where they were going before leaving the mansion. This they did
not take the chauffeured car. Instead, Jeremy decided to drive, and they soon arrived at Annie’s place.
Annie immediately ran out of the house with her arms wide open as soon as Corinne stepped out of the car.
“Corinne! You’re finally here.” She was about to give her a bear hug when Jeremy pulled her away by the collar.
After that, he put his arm around Corinne to protect her. “She’s pregnant right now, so please behave yourself,” he
lectured sternly.
Corinne gave him a side-eye. ‘Oh, look who’s talking. If only he takes his advice!’
Annie frowned, but she realized she was in the wrong after getting lectured by Jeremy. “Oops, sorry! I forgot she’s

“I’m fine. And ignore your Uncle Jeremy. He’s making a fuss about nothing,” said Corinne lightly.
This time, Annie was on Jeremy’s side. She shook her head and said seriously, “No, he’s right to be worried. You’re
pregnant after all. I’ll be sure to be careful around you.”
After that, she moved closer and carefully held Corinne’s arm. “Here, Corinne. I’ll help you into the house.”
‘The bump isn’t even showing yet, and she’s treating me like an old woman?’ thought Corinne with resignation.
Corinne felt even more defeated when she saw Zeke, Gerald, Jason, and a few other girls she had not seen before
sitting inside the living room.
“What are they doing here?” she asked annoyedly.
