Chapter 1241

Sophia turned to look at Jeremy’s sullen expression. She asked cautiously, “What will you do if Corinne

doesn’t care about you anymore?”

Jeremy’s jaw tightened. He kept quiet and started the engine.

When Sophia saw his attitude, she thought to herself, ‘There’s probably no chance that he’d be with

Corinne again. The only bond he has with her is the child in her womb!’

Sophia sighed worriedly. “You shouldn’t force it if things aren’t meant to be, Jeremy. I can tell from the

way you reacted today that Corinne’s temper is a little, well… How should I put this… Well, I’m not

saying that Corinne is a bad person. It’s just her temperament that doesn’t suit you very well. It’s going

to be tiresome for the two of you together!”

After Jeremy turned the steering wheel, he answered, “She’s young, so her temper is a little childish. I

apologize to you for what happened today. If today’s incident leaves a scar on your forehead, I’ll take

responsibility for it and get someone to find a plastic surgeon for you. I’ll also compensate you double

for whatever losses you suffered.”

Sophia was startled. “What are you talking about, Jeremy? We’ve been friends for years! You don’t

have to do all that. I’m not that bothered by this little injury on my forehead anyway!”

Jeremy responded with a grunt. He focused on driving and did not say anything else.

Sophia, on the other hand, did not intend to keep quiet. She asked cautiously, “Why are you still

apologizing to me on her behalf if you think she doesn’t care about you anymore?”

She had never seen him apologize for the 10 years she knew him. That was her first time seeing him

apologize, and it was on another woman’s behalf, no less.

This, of course, shocked Sophia.

Jeremy did not think much of it and sighed. “As unruly as she is, she’s still the girl that I forced to

become my wife. If I don’t take responsibility for cleaning up the troubles she caused, who will?”

Sophia looked shocked, coupled with a bit of envy and jealousy. Jeremy still professed himself to be

Corinne’s husband even at such a juncture.

She smiled reluctantly and sighed. “You know, Corinne is lucky to have you tolerate her like this! She

shouldn’t have left you and run away when you’ve treated her so well.”

Jeremy sneered. “She’s heartless.”

He sent Sophia back to the hotel and drove off. She invited him to come up and have a seat, but he

refused and left.

In the afternoon, Annie took out all the available ingredients in the refrigerator and began to prepare

dinner. She did not plan to leave that day and was determined to cook some food for her pregnant

aunt!

Aaron followed her into the kitchen and looked at her with a smile. “Do you need my help?”

‘No’ was Annie’s first thought. She did not want Aaron to hinder her. She would be unable to control her

nervousness with Aaron around. Then again, she also knew that it was impossible to get Aaron to

leave. After all, he would never listen to her! All she could do was to ignore him.

“I’ll be fine. Just don’t give me more trouble!”

Aaron might not be an angelic character, but he still had some measure of sensibility. Knowing that it

was rude to let a guest cook alone, he rolled up his sleeves and walked to the sink. “I don’t know how

to cook, so I’ll help wash the ingredients for you!”

Annie glanced at him in surprise. She nodded, backed away a little, and handed over the task of

washing vegetables to him. Then, she went to prepare the other things on her own. She was never

good at cooking in the first place, and she only enrolled in a cooking class to try and win Aaron’s heart.
