Francine was out on a date with Chester when she learned of Jeremy's return.
She immediately rushed back home with Chester and glomped Corinne excitedly as soon as she entered the door. "Corinne! Is it true that Jeremy is back?"
Corinne was almost knocked down, but she managed to steady herself before saying, "Yeah!"
Francine burst into tears of happiness. "So he's really back! Where is he right now?"
"He's taking a shower. You'll get to see him later. Please let me go for now, though. I can't breathe."
Francine immediately let go of her. "Sorry, Corinne. I... I was just too excited."
In fact, she let go of Corinne as excitedly as she hugged her, so much so that she nearly fell backward. Thankfully, Chester caught her before she injured herself.
Chester steadied Francine and said apologetically, "Sorry, Corinne. You know how clumsy Francine can get."
He sounded like he was already treating Francine as his wife.
Corinne looked at them both fondly and nodded. "It's okay. I'm used to it, anyway. Chester, why don't you bring her to the living room? I need to head to the kitchen to arrange for tonight's dinner." "Sure thing!" Chester nodded gentlemanly before putting his arms around Francine and leading her to the living room.
Corinne went to the kitchen to tell the staff to cook Jeremy's favorite food for dinner that night. She then instructed them to serve latte to Chester and Francine.
When Corinne got back to the living room, there was only Chester sitting there. Francine was nowhere in sight.
Corinne sat on the sofa next to Chester and asked, "Where's Francine?"
Chester smiled dejectedly and said, "She said she couldn't wait to see Mister Jeremy, so she went upstairs to look for him."
Corinne nodded. She knew how impatient Francine was.
Chester put down the cup of latte the servant served him and joyfully said, "Congratulations, Corinne! You've finally reunited with Mister Jeremy!"
"Thank you. You and Francine can get married once Jeremy solves the problem at hand," said Corinne with a smile.
Chester blushed and scratched his head awkwardly. "If possible, can you please put in a few good words to Mister Jeremy for me? I'm worried he'll think I'm not good enough for Francine."
Corinne smiled after taking a sip of her latte. "Don't worry. He doesn't have a say in who gets to marry Francine. I do."
At that moment, Jeremy had just put on his clothes after showering. He walked out of his room, and from where he was standing on the stairs, he could see Chester and Corinne talking in the living room.
His expression darkened when he saw Chester blushing at something Corinne said. After walking down the stairs, he immediately sat next to Corinne and put his arms around her.
Ignoring Chester, he said to Corinne, "Sorry for making you wait."
