Jeremy looked up at the people upstairs and nodded slightly before putting his arm over Corinne’s shoulders to bring her upstairs.

Corinne did not budge, and she shook her head while saying, ” I’m going to wait here for the wings. I don’t feel like going up there to socialize with you!”

Jeremy did not force her and patted her head instead. “Okay. Take your time with the food then. I’ll head up and say hi before coming back down to you.”

Corinne nodded, gave him an ‘OK’ gesture, and then took a bite of the delicious meat skewer that he just gave her.

After Jeremy entered the villa, Zeke handed Corinne a bunch of barbecued chicken wings and had a meaningful smile on his lips as he said, “You did a pretty good job training such a difficult guy like Jeremy to be so submissive!”

Corinne’s lips twitched. “You’re a pretty odd guy. It’s your birthday, and you invited all these people over to have fun while you, the birthday boy, toil away at the barbecue just to cook some wings for them. Don’t you feel tired of making your own life difficult?”

Zeke was taken aback for a moment, and his handsome eyes stared right into Corinne’s pupils with a look of admiration.

“The others are worried about whether or not my wings turn out okay, but you’re the only one who shows concern about my well-being! I’m so touched!”

He then placed his tongs down and went toward Corinne to give her a hearty hug. Corinne dodged him out of disgust and avoided Zeke’s bear hug.

Zeke ended up hugging the air, but rather than feel awkward, his grin became even bigger.

“You’re right! Those heartless people are enjoying their fill of food and drink without caring about me! You’re better than all of them! Could you watch the fire for a bit and make sure the chicken wings don’t burn? I’ll be back soon after I take a bathroom break!” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Corinne was at a loss for words because it was obvious that Zeke wanted to avoid the drudging task of having to barbecue for everyone.

However, Corinne agreed readily because she did not want to go in and have any awkward conversations with people that she was not familiar with. She went to the grill, flipped the chicken wings over, and then brushed it with a layer of sauce.

She then wondered to herself, ‘If those people inside are so focused on chatting with each other that they forgot to come out here and get the food, will all these chicken wings be mine to eat? Well, I guess it’s better for them to be so engrossed in the conversation so they don’t snatch these delicious wings from me!’

“Hey, Corinne!”

A voice called out to her just as she worried that someone might come out and take her wings.

Corinne looked up and saw Sunny standing opposite the grill.

He had the same high and mighty expression on his face that was so characteristic of him. He behaved like that whenever he saw her, and he always had this stubborn expression as well as an intense glare. It was like she owed him money or

something!

Corinne cocked an eyebrow and answered with an insipid expression, “It’s you! Did you finish your homework today before you came to play?”

Sunny always felt that Corinne spoke to him as if he was a little kid, so he frowned in displeasure and said, “I’ve done it all!”

“Oh, that’s great then! Go ahead and have fun!” Corinne did not want to entertain Sunny and looked down at the grill to continue focusing on barbecuing her chicken wings.

Sunny remained where he was and stood in front of the grill while staring at her. He opened his mouth, then closed it, and hesitated for a while before speaking awkwardly.

“Ahem! I’m sorry for what happened last time, Corinne. My brother… He’s usually a good person, but he gets worked up whenever someone mentions my missing sister.”

Corinne chomped down indifferently on the chicken wings. “Is that so?”

Sunny’s expression became inexplicably uneasy. “So… Umm… You’re not angry with me, are you?”

Corinne answered nonchalantly, “Why would I be?”
