Chapter 1108

After that, Corinne went to pack her bags. Even though she only stayed a night at the summer villa, she

could not wait to go home.

‘Now that Jeremy’s here, it should be no problem to bring Joey back with us,’ she thought while

packing her bags. ‘There’s no need for me to stay here any longer since I got what I came for.’

Suddenly, her phone rang. Fearing the noise would wake Jeremy and Joey up, she quickly took her

phone out of the room to answer the call.

It was Aaron.

“Boss, where are you now?” he asked hurriedly as soon as she picked up the phone.

“I’m at the Riveras’ summer villa. Why? Did something happen?”

“Where’s the summer villa? Drop me your location, and I’ll drive over there right away. I have

something really important to tell you!”

From Aaron’s tone, Corinne could tell it was serious—the kind that could not be discussed over the

phone.

“You don’t have to come here. I’m going back tonight. We can meet at Twilight instead.”Books Chapters

“That works too. Xante and I will make the necessary arrangements and wait for you at Twilight, then,”

said Aaron.

Corinne started to feel a little uneasy after they hung up the phone. ‘It’s rare to see Aaron being so

serious… What could have happened to make him act like that?’

She put her phone back in her pocket, and the moment she turned around, she saw Jeremy leaning

against the opened doorway staring at her intently.

Startled, she asked with a frown, “You’re awake… Don’t you want to sleep a little longer?”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “Who were you on the phone with just now? Why did you have to come out

to take the call?”

Corinne rolled her eyes at him. She did not like the accusatory tone he used. “I was on the phone with

Aaron, and I came out because I didn’t want to wake you or Joey up! Happy?”

Jeremy walked over and lifted her chin. “You still contact Aaron even though you don’t work together?”

“Yeah! I’ve already told you that he’s a very important friend of mine. In fact, he’s more like a family to

me, so we can’t not contact each other,” said Corinne honestly.

Jeremy chuckled coldly. “How can you see him as your family when you’re not related to him by blood?

Plus, who’s to say he sees you the same way as you do?”

Corinne frowned. “Just what are you trying to say, Mister? Don’t you trust me at all?”

“It’s not you that I don’t trust but him! I mean, what kind of guy will keep on calling a married woman if

he doesn’t have any ulterior motive?” he questioned while stroking her cheek softly.

Corinne stared straight into Jeremy’s eyes with displeasure before chuckling and saying, “I could say

the same thing about you, Mister Jeremy. As a matter of fact, why don’t you think about what you’ve

done first before pointing at me?”

Jeremy could not help but frown when he heard her address him as ‘Mister Jeremy’. Not to mention,

she was obviously hinting at something.

“Think about what I’ve done? What did I do? Have I done something to upset you again?”
