Chapter 529
Corinne laughed long and hard before looking at him and said, “Mister Jeremy, what
happened that night was an unfortunate emergency. It wasn’t like we did it because we love each other. Besides, do you think that I’ll get pregnant because of that one time? Why, I might as well buy the lottery with that kind of luck!”
Jeremy’s suspicious eyes remained fixed on her for a good long while. Seeing that she did not. feel guilty or nervous, he slowly puffed out some smoke, and the suspicion in his eyes dissipated although not completely along with the smoke into the air.
After a few more seconds of silence, he asked again, “Where’s your husband?”
Corinne was stunned. She completely forgot she had a husband. She blinked awkwardly and replied, “He’s, he’s at work, of course!”
Silence again.
“Is Jason pursuing you?”
Corinne was once again stunned by his question. She did not expect the conversation to veer so quickly to the topic of Jason.
What could she say? Jason was indeed pursuing her, and if she denied it, it would make it seem like she was hiding something,
Thus, Corinne simply nodded and said, “Yes.”
Jeremy chuckled drily. “You already have a husband so how can you accept another man’s feelings?”
‘Accept?’ Corinne frowned. ‘Is he blind? When did I ever accept Jason’s feelings?’
Jeremy’s insinuation pissed Corinne off so she thought she would play with him a little.
“What are you? The love police? I can do whatever I want!”
Jeremy’s face immediately darkened as his veins looked as if they were about to pop.
‘So I’m too old for her? Is that why she ran away with another man? That Aaron looks to be the same age as her. Even if he’s older, it’ll only be by a couple of years so there won’t be any generational gap to speak of/’
Her revenge served, Corinne immediately turned around and ignored him.
Jeremy remained standing where he was. He fixed his gaze on Corinne’s retreating figure and watched as she threw his cigarette into a trash can before going back to the private dining room as though nothing out of the ordinary happened just moments ago.
He narrowed his eyes in suspicion. ‘Did she throw up because she was sick?”
Jeremy fished out his phone and called Tommy.
“Find out if Corinne went to any OB-GYN specialist recently,” he ordered coldly.
