Jeremy then ended the call as he did not want to hear Pamela’s nagging. He then turned to Tommy and said, “Go back home to
collect the chicken soup later.”
Tommy nodded. “Yes, Mister Jeremy. Do you need me to deliver it to Miss Corinne?”
“No. I’ll drink it instead.”
Tommy was a little taken aback by his answer. “But Miss Pamela made it for Miss Corinne, right? Are you really going to drink
it?”
Jeremy massaged his temples. “God knows what Grandma put into the soup. She might think whatever she puts into the soup is
good for Corinne, but that can’t be further from the truth.”
Tommy nodded again. “Okay, I understand.”
After that, Jeremy took out his phone and tapped into his conversation with Corinne. His gaze instinctively softened when he saw
the good night message she sent last night.
His fingers flew across the on-screen keyboard. [Are you awake?]
After a while, he received a photo of a half-eaten breakfast.
His eyes narrowed. [Why did you wake up so early when you slept so late last night?]
[Why did you message me so early if you think I should still be sleeping? Are you deliberately trying to disturb my sleep?]
Jeremy frowned. [You little smart*ss. Can I see you later?]
[Where?]
Jeremy had a place in mind, but he was not sure whether she would allow him to meet him there.
[Is it okay if I go to the Riveras’ mansion to meet you?]
Corinne replied instantly, [No. We better see less of each other until that problem is solved.]
Jeremy sighed with resignation. He knew he was in the wrong, so he did not insist on having things his way.
At that moment, he received a selfie photo of Corinne glaring at him.
[Here. You can see me like this.]
Jeremy’s tense expression gave way into a smile. He chuckled softly and replied, [You cheeky little rascal.]
Even though it was not a very flattering photo of Corinne, Jeremy could not help but think she was the cutest person on earth!
...
Meanwhile, at the Riveras’ mansion.
After sending Jeremy her selfie, Corinne was about to put down her phone to eat her breakfast when she received a call from an
unknown number.
She decided to ignore the call, but the other person called her again after the call did not go through.
Frowning, she answered the call, “Hello, who is this?”
“It’s me. Sophia.”
Corinne was a little stunned. “And what can I do for you this early in the morning, Miss Sophia?”
Instead of her usual fake pleasantries, Sophia chuckled coldly and said, “I’m calling you to tell you that I just landed in Molomia.”
Corinne chuckled too. “Is that so? Why didn’t you tell me you’re going back? I would’ve seen you off at the airport if you had told
me so.”
“Hmph! Don’t think I’m giving up on Jeremy just because I’m back in Molomia. I’m formally declaring war on you, Corinne. Just
you wait. I’m going to do everything I can to get Jeremy back!”
