When Corinne came out of her room, she saw Jason already walking toward the door to open it.
However, no one came in, and no one spoke after he opened the door. Instead, Jason stood still and looked at the person standing outside in shock.
Corinne walked over. She, too, was shocked when she saw who was outside.
'What's Jeremy doing here?' she thought.
Jeremy looked coldly at both of them. "Seems like I've come at a bad time."
Corinne did not like the way he was staring at her, but she suddenly remembered her wet hair and her wearing her bathrobe. She instinctively pulled her bathrobe tighter to make herself look more presentable.
What made the whole situation worse was Jason had just taken a shower too. In a rush to open the door, he only managed to put on his pants while his shirt was left unbuttoned, revealing his naked chest and abs.
The two of them looked like they had just had s*x.
Realizing this, Corinne started to panic. She wanted to explain herself but then thought there was nothing to explain at all. She and Jeremy, after all, have broken up.
Jason started to button his shirt. To break the awkward silence, he smiled and said, "Jeremy, what a coincidence! Are you here to visit Corinne too?"
Jeremy's expression was so frigid that it was hard to tell what he was feeling. He smiled impassively and said, "I guess you never changed. You still go for the women we don't want anymore."
Corinne was furious at what he said, but she told herself not to show it. 'Heh! So I'm just a play-her-and-dump-her woman to him, huh?'
Instead of getting angry, Jason simply smiled and said gently to her, "It's okay, Corinne. Why don't you go put on your clothes while I talk to Jeremy for a bit?"
Corinne felt a sense of danger she never felt before. She continued to step back slowly.
Jeremy grabbed her wrist. "So you've been shacking up with another man for the past six months, huh?"
'Is he talking about Jason?' Corinne's eyes wavered. She gritted her teeth and kept her mouth stubbornly shut. 'What right does he have to question me like that?! I don't owe him any explanation! He played with my feelings first!'
Corinne pushed him away, but no matter how hard she pushed, he remained unmoving. In the end, she gave up and said, "Mister Jeremy, why don't you just tell me why you came here?"
Suddenly, he let her wrist go. "I came to see my baby."
Corinne instinctively touched her belly. "This baby has nothing to do with you. Go ask your wife to give you a baby if you want one so much!"
