Chapter 754
Corinne read the chat and said, “They’re your friends, so you make the arrangements.” Jeremy glanced at her. “I can’t.”
Corinne looked at him from the mirror and raised her eyebrows in puzzlement. “Why not? Didn’t you go out drinking with them
before? Just make the same arrangements as you always
do.”
“I don’t have any money,” he quipped.
Corinne was speechless. The make-up artist who was changing Corinne’s hairstyle had a surprised expression and tried to hold
in a laugh. What a shock to hear that a handsome, rich man could say that he had ‘no money!!
Corinne’s lips twitched when she realized that Jeremy had given her all his bank cards. He did not have much money on his
phone either.
“You make the arrangements then, and I’ll pay for it,” Corinne said considerately.
That was what Jeremy had been waiting for her to say. He raised his hand and gently touched the tip of her nose. “Thank you for
your generosity then, my dearest wife.”
The tip of her nose tickled slightly after he touched it, and Corinne’s face scrunched a bit. The phrase ‘my dearest wife’ made her
blush. ‘How could he be so sappy when the makeup artist is right here?!’
After receiving his permission, Jeremy sent a brief message in the group chat. [She’s okay with it.]
Zeke then replied, [Yo, Jeremy! Are you done with the photoshoot? Send them to us so we can have a look!]
[Jeremy: No.]
[Zeke: Tsk, tsk, tsk! Wow, that was harsh. Guess he can only say ‘yes’ if his wife says ‘yes’! It’s only been a few days since I last
saw him and he’s already become a slave to his wife!]
[Annie: I’m going to remove you from the group.]
[Zeke: Okay, okay! Don’t kick me out! I won’t joke around anymore! When are you arranging the toast, Jeremy? Why not seize
the moment and just do it today?]
[Annie: Sweet! I’m going to join too!]
At that time, Lucas-who never sent messages on social media-popped up in the group chat for the first time. [Come to Lunar
Century Manor. I’ll make the arrangements for tonight.]
Zeke was startled. [Lucas? What brought you here today?]
[Lucas: What’s the matter? Am I not welcome here?)
[Zeke: Of course you are! But you’re not the host today! You need to ask Jeremy first!]
[Jeremy: That’ll do.]
[Gerald: We’re off to Lunar Century Manor, then. That’s where Lucas stores all his good wine!]
[Zeke: It’s set!]
Corinne took out her phone, read the messages in the group, and frowned slightly when she saw Lucas’ message. ‘Does Lucas
want to raise a toast to me and Jeremy too?’
An hour later, the service staff of the photography studio said respectfully to them, “Mister Jeremy, Miss Corinne, we’re done for
the day. We’ll call you again in a few days to let you go over the photos. You can leave your contact information with us.”
Corinne nodded, picked up the pen, and left her number with them.
Annie could not wait any longer. “Finally, the photoshoot is over! Let’s go to Lunar Century Manor to celebrate! Zeke and the
others are already there!”
Corinne was not very keen on going, so she waved his hands. “I’m tired, so I’ll pass. You can go with Uncle Jeremy!”
Annie was displeased to hear Corinne’s refusal. “How can you not go?! You’re the guest of honor today! Who will we celebrate if
you’re not there? Do you want Uncle Jeremy to be poked fun at by the guys there?”
Corinne looked helplessly at Jeremy, who was standing beside her, and he looked back at her warmly. “You tired?”
“A little,” she said.
Jeremy asked again, “So you’re not going, then?”
