Jason moved his face closer to hers. “I already have enough money for my future wife to live comfortably with, so
what I lack now is a wife. Say, why don’t you help me find one, Corinne?”
Corinne frowned with disgust. She was about to leave her alone when the car door on the driver’s side opened, and
Tommy sat down with a serious expression.
“Ahem!” he cleared his throat loudly.
Jason sat back in his seat without any signs of embarrassment.
“Mister Jason, where should I drop you off?” asked Tommy with a frown.
“You can drop me off at whichever homestay Corinne is staying in. It’ll be more convenient to take care of each
other that way,” said Jason with a straight face.

possible for you to follow along,” said Tommy.
Jason raised his eyebrow. “She’s staying at the Riveras’ simmer villa? Why, that’s even better! I can just call Lucas
to ask him to let me stay too.”
Jason took out his phone and was dialing the numbers when Corinne snatched his phone.
“Mister Jason, just what are you trying to achieve by doing all this?” asked Corinne angrily.
Jason spread out his hands innocently. “Corinne, we’re friends, are we not? I’m just glad I bumped into a familiar
face in a place like this, so forgive me for wanting to stay closer to you. I’m actually quite scared to live alone in the
mountains. Can you please, please take some pity on me and let me stay in the Riveras’ summer villa with you?”
Corinne did not buy his story. She chuckled coldly and said, “Then why did you come here alone? What if you didn’t
run into me? You’d have to stay alone in the homestay too.”
Jason raised his head innocently. “You’re right, but I didn’t think much before I came here. In fact, if you hadn’t
mentioned it, I would’ve forgotten the Riveras have a summer villa here. Let me ask Lucas if I can stay there. Who
knows, he might even come to join us for a holiday.”
‘Sh*t! I can’t let him do that. Lucas will come rushing if he knows I’m here too,’ thought Corinne. She did not want
him to go there since she knew he was still recovering from his broken foot. There was no need for him to further
exacerbate his injury by coming to stay in the mountain.
Frowning, Corinne threw Jason’s phone back to him and said, “Don’t call Mister Lucas. The doctor has given him
strict orders to rest at home, so he won’t be able to come.” After that, she turned to Tommy and said, “Let’s just
take Mister Jason to the Riveras’ summer villa with us.”
As reluctant as he was, Tommy could not defy Corinne’s orders. “Yes, Ma’am.”
Jason smiled happily. “It’s been such a long time since I’ve been I remembered the last time I was there was when
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwe were still teenagers…”
Not interested in walking down memory lane with him, Corinne cut in bluntly, “Mister Jason, can you please be
quiet? No one wants to hear about your childhood stories.”
Instead of being angry, Jason simply chuckled and shrugged it off. To his credit, he did keep his silence.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the summer villa. All the servants there knew Jason to be Lucas’ good friend, so
they quickly arranged a guest room for him to stay.
Corinne left him to his own device and walked back to her room with Tommy behind her.
Once they got to a place with no one around, Tommy said, “Ma’am, it’s best to stay away from Mister Jason.”
Corinne never intended to spend time with Jason at all, but Tommy’s advice sounded strange. After all, she
remembered Jeremy telling her the same thing before.
