Xante had Sunny backed into a corner again. Even though she was half a head shorter than him, he was actually
scared of her.
Still blushing, Sunny instinctively covered his chest with both of his hands. “You… You can’t force me to take off my
clothes!”
Xante smiled mockingly at him. “Tsk, tsk! What a wuss. You shouldn’t have followed me here if you’re not ready to
play along with me. Now go run home to your mommy.”
Sunny was at the age where his ego triumphed over everything. Thus, what he could not stand the most was to be
mocked.

Xante raised her eyebrow. “Who else is there but you? As I said, you should go home now. I don’t want your parents
to come screaming at me and calling me a bad influence for bringing you here.”
“And as I said, I’m not a kid anymore! I don’t need my parents’ permission to do anything. You know what? I
changed my mind! I’m going to take off my clothes to show you I’m not scared of you!”
He then took off his sweater and threw it on the ground as though he was a hot stud.
Xante was a little stunned by how broad his shoulders actually were. She pushed her gold-rimmed glasses up and
could not help but take a gulp as she stared at his half-naked body.

Three days later, after a series of check-ups, the doctor deemed Corinne fit enough to be discharged from the
hospital.
Early in the morning, Pamela—along with Francine and the servants—came to pick up her granddaughter-in-law
from the hospital.
The moment they were back at the mansion, Corinne was presented with a healthy meal, which she must finish,
prepared by the nutritionist Pamela hired.
After the nose-bleeding incident, Pamela thought it was better to hire a nutritionist to watch over Corinne’s diet
than for herself to cook something for her granddaughter-in-law.
After she finished her meal, Corinne chatted with Pamela for a while before finding an excuse to go back to her
room. For some reason, she had been feeling restless and easily tired for the past few days. Not to mention, she
would often wake up in the middle of the night from a nightmare.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt had been three whole days, and she did not receive any calls or texts from Jeremy. Out of worry, she messaged
him twice. One was her asking him what he was doing, and the other was asking when he would be back. Both of
them went unanswered.
She did not want to overthink the whole situation, but she just could not help herself. However, it was not like she
could do anything since he was overseas at the moment. Thus, she decided to wait it out.
She laid on her bed with all her limbs spread out like a starfish, staring at the ceiling in a daze. Suddenly, she
remembered something, and she quickly took out her phone to call Tommy. She had learned from Francine that
Tommy did not go on the business trip with Jeremy. Instead, he stayed back to handle the company’s affairs.
It just so happened Corinne needed his help with something. The call quickly went through, and Tommy agreed to
her request without hesitation.
