Chapter 359

Sunny stayed behind in the dining room, waiting for Corinne and Jeremy to give out his punishment.

The maid placed a steaming hot plate of breakfast food in front of Corinne, who was so hungry that she immediately dug in. As she was shoveling the bacon and egg into her mouth, she sensed a pair of eyes boring into her. She did not know how to describe the look, but the closest she could get was that it felt like she was being entwined by a flaming thread that was getting tighter around her body.

She instinctively frowned and glared at Jeremy. “Mister, why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be off to work right now?”

Jeremy furrowed his brow in mock anger. “You just can’t wait for me to leave, huh?”

Corinne shook her head. “No, it’s not like that. It’s more like you’ve finished your breakfast, so instead of wasting your time here, shouldn’t you head off to work where your staff is waiting for you?”

Jeremy pursed his lips and said, “There’s no rush.”

Corinne twitched the corners of her mouth. “Okay, I won’t say anything more now that I know you’re not in a rush, but can you not stare at me like that while I’m eating?”

Jeremy raised his eyebrow. “Can’t I even get a good look at you after how you left me to sleep alone in the study last night?”

Corinne scoffed and mockingly said, “From ancient times, any emperor who was found late to work always used the excuse of being seduced by a temptress, and said innocent woman would have to carry the shame of being called a temptress for the rest of her life. Mister, I hope you’re not thinking of making it a habit of being late to work every day because I really can’t have your staff calling me a temptress.”

“Nonsense! Who’d ever dare to call you that?” Jeremy actually laughed when he heard what she said. Instead of being angry, he was delighted to find the many creative ways Corinne could come up with just to make him go to work on time.

Corinne rolled her eyes. “Of course they wouldn’t call me that to your face, but they’ll surely talk. about me behind your backs, and I can assure you it’s not going to be something nice about me.” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Jeremy pinched her cheeks out of both adoration and frustration. Then, he said gently, “Fine. To not have them call you a temptress, I’ll go to work now, but just wait and see how I’ll deal with you. little rascal once I’m back home.”

Corinne simply laughed at his threat.

Jeremy got up from the dining table and put one hand on the back of her chair before bending. down to look her deeply in the eyes. It was obvious he was asking for a goodbye kiss, but Corinne was a little unwilling to give him one because there was a minor–Sunny–in the room.

Thinking on her feet, she quickly picked up a piece of ham with a fork and shoved it into his mouth. Jeremy was a little taken aback, and even though his eyes were filled with unhappiness, held

nonetheless swallowed the ham. Even though he did not get what he wanted, he was willing to concede to the fact that Corinne fed him out of her own accord.

“Be a good girl while I’m gone, yeah.” Jeremy straightened himself up and ruffled up her hair. Then, he put the coat the maid passed to him onto the crook of his arm before marching out of the house.

Corinne remained seated at the dining table. Blinking awkwardly and blushing madly, she picked up the glass of warm milk off the table and drank it in a bid to calm herself.

Sunny–who witnessed the whole thing–was dumbstruck. He never saw such vivid behaviors from Jeremy. In fact, the Jeremy he knew was humorous and cold.

Jeremy was like a different person around Corinne. It was as if he really loved her and that they were just flirting in the way that every couple in the world would do. He would not believe it if anyone were to tell him that Jeremy could show any signs of emotions other than aloofness if he had not seen it personally.

Thus, Sunny became wary of Corinne because if things were to continue like that, she might just really steal Anya’s beloved Jeremy away from her. He feared that Anya would not be able to take the news and would end up doing something crazy.

After Corinne finished her breakfast, she got up from the dining table and walked toward the direction of where Sunny was standing.

Sunny, to his credit, did not back down.

“Do whatever you want to me! I’m prepared to accept any punishment!”
