Corinne rolled her eyes at Jeremy. "Hmph. Took you long enough to come back."
Jeremy smiled, knowing that Corinne missed him dearly while he was gone.
He then called out to the door. "Tommy!"
"Yes, sir?" Tommy came in immediately.
"Take Joey out for a walk. A long walk," ordered Jeremy.
"Yes, sir." Tommy walked toward Corinne, intending to lead Joey out for a stroll.
Corinne, though reluctant to hand Joey over to Tommy, eventually relented.
'Jeremy must have something important to say. why else would he clear the room?' thought Corinne.
Once Tommy left the room with Joey, Corinne turned to Jeremy to see what he had in mind.
Before she could say a word, her vision went black as Jeremy kissed her ferociously.
Corinne was so shocked by his sudden kiss that she hit him a few times before she succumbed to the kiss. She was powerless against his passionate kiss.
It was only when Corinne started to go weak in the knees that Jeremy finally let go of her.
Slightly panting, she glared at him with a frown. "Is this why you asked Tommy to take Joey out for a walk?"
"Of course. Why else would I do that?" Jeremy smiled as he hugged her. "Or do you prefer to do it in front of Joey?"
"Hmph! I knew your good looks would bring us endless trouble! Wherever you go, there are always women going crazy over you!"
Jeremy frowned. "That's not a fair accusation."
Corinne raised an eyebrow. "It's true, and you know it. Think about it. We've gone through countless troubles over the years, and all of them were caused by the women who were crazily in love with you! How can you not say that those troubles weren't caused by your good looks?"
Jeremy could not deny that, so he hugged her as tightly as he could, and said, "I'm sorry, little rascal… It's all my fault…"
Corinne did not actually blame him at all. She was just having fun teasing him, but it seemed that he had taken it seriously.
"Ahem! Well… It's not really your fault to have a handsome face like that. Just stop messing around with other women!"
"Since when did I mess around with other women?" sulked Jeremy while resting his chin on Corinne's shoulder.
