Chapter 410

Jeremy stroked Corinne’s hair as though she was a cat.

“I’m just saying it like it is. You know Anya saved my life, so I have no choice but to make sure I can give her a reasonable explanation. I wouldn’t have gone through all that trouble if it was any other person. Earlier, I wanted to come in with you but Anya suddenly vomited everywhere and kept calling for me, so I-”

Corinne rolled her eyes and interrupted him, “Say no more. I can see where this is going.”

Jeremy raised an eyebrow. “Do you now? Well, where is this going?”

Corinne sat up a little straighter in his lap and said

confidently, “I understand your dilemma, Mister, because Anya is your savior and she lost something irretrievable to save you back then. So, you feel like you’re deeply indebted to her. Therefore, you can’t just leave her alone whenever she’s in some sort of trouble. Am I right?”

Jeremy did not deny what she said. “Yeah, I’m sorry. Please give me a little more time to repay her kindness. Once that’s done, I promise you’ll never have to suffer like this anymore.”

Corinne felt a little lighter since she had unburdened herself from those words. “It’s okay. As long as you trust me, I’ll stop being angry. It’s only right for you to repay someone for saving your life. I understand and I trust you.

Jeremy knitted his brows tightly together and looked unhappily at her, “Little rascal, I won’t be angry at you if you

vent your anger out on me, you know.”

Corinne smiled. “I’m not going to vent to you. I’m not that petty.”

Jeremy’s eyes darkened. “But I am, so what are we going to do about that?”

“What do you have to be petty for? I didn’t do anything to you, ” said Corinne quizzically.

Jeremy’s face sank and he asked, “Wasn’t Jason in the room with you earlier?”

Corinne nodded calmly. “Since he’s your friend, I asked him to get some clothes for me. He brought me here to rest, and he went right out after giving me a towel.”

Jeremy looked deeply into her eyes.

“You don’t have to explain. I know nothing happened between the two of you. However, I must tell you that I don’t like you being too friendly with another guy. In fact, I can’t promise I won’t lose my temper if I see you do that.

“That reminds me… You don’t seem to mind me being friendly to other women, do you? Corinne Carew, sometimes I can’t help but think that you’ll be just as happy with or without me.”

Corinne blinked her eyes innocently. “Mister… Are you saying that you don’t have a sense of security about this relationship, and that I’ll leave you at a moment’s notice?”

Jeremy glared at her. “Yes! That’s exactly what I’m saying. I have no sense of security and every day, I worry that you’ll run off with another man.”

As he said that, he squeezed her waist roughly as if to teach

her a lesson.

A tiny wave of pain shot through Corinne’s body. “Mister… I didn’t say you’re off the hook. Please have some respect for yourself, and don’t mess around with me like that.”

Jeremy did not take her words to heart. He gently tickled her underarm and said, “You’re my wife so I can mess around however I want with you.”

Corinne tried to endure the itching and numbness coursing through the upper half of her body and corrected him, “No! Ours is a sham marriage! We don’t even have a marriage certificate to prove we’re really married.”

Jeremy would have forgotten all about it if she had not brought it up. One of his eyebrows shot up when he asked, Shall we go get one tomorrow?”

Corinne was stunned and started blushing. “Ahem, please don’t misunderstand me, Mister. I didn’t mean that we should go get a marriage certificate.”

Jeremy moved a little closer to her and put his chin on her forehead. “I want to get one. Do you? It’ll mean a lot to me,” he said softly.

Their faces were so close to each other that Corinne could feel

his warm breath on her skin. She was so nervous she could

hear the pounding in her heart.

She pushed his face away and said, “Stop it, Mister. You shouldn’t joke about something like that.”

“I’m not joking. I’m being serious.”

“No, I’m not going to do that tomorrow. We can talk about

this in the future. Besides, I still need to evaluate your performance to see if I’m satisfied with it.”

Jeremy knew it would not be that easy to convince her to marry him.

He smiled haplessly and said, “Okay, take all the time you need since sooner or later, you’ll definitely give in to me.”

Corinne could not help but feel that he looked at her as if sizing up a prey. Without her noticing, the strap of her dress had already slipped down to her elbow.
