Thus, Jeremy asked Corinne to eat more.
Corinne frowned as she watched Jeremy leave with Joey. ‘Well, I guess I have some more room in my tummy, so I
might as well eat more.’
The personal chef in the summer villa was quite skilled at cooking so she heartily enjoyed the food. However, what
she did not enjoy was Lucas staring at her eating from across the table.
Lucas narrowed his eyes as he watched Jeremy leave the dining room. Being a smart cookie, he quickly understood
Jeremy did that to give him some time with Corinne.
‘He might come off as cold most of the time, but he can be quite thoughtful. It’s either that, or…he’s just paving the

“Corinne, do you have anything else you’d like to eat? I can ask Edmund to buy it for you,” said Lucas with concern.
However, Corinne did not appreciate his concern at all. She frowned and gave him a warning look. “No, thanks.
Mister Lucas, I know you’re trying to make up for all the hurtful things you did to me before, but I’d much prefer it if
you stop being overly concerned with me.”
Lucas sighed with dismay. “Fine. I’ll try to keep that in mind…”
Corinne took a bite of her sandwich and, while chewing, suddenly thought of something.
“By the way, Mister Lucas, did something happen in the past that caused Jeremy, Zeke, and Gerald to hold a grudge
toward Jason?” she asked with a raise of her eyebrow.
Lucas was quite taken aback by her question. “Why do you ask?”
“Before you came in, Jeremy and Jason were having a go at each other. There was even mention of Jason breaking
up somebody’s relationship… I was wondering if you knew anything about it. If you do, can you tell me about it?”
Even though Lucas would not call Jason his best friend, they were still friends. He thought it would not be
appropriate for him to comment on his friend’s personal life.
“Corinne, you’re a girl. It’s best not to meddle in us men’s affairs,” said Lucas.
Corinne’s hopeful expression fell. She then scoffed and said nothing more.
Lucas started to panic a little when he saw her reaction. ‘D*mnit! I’ve made her angry again… And just when she
decided to strike up a conversation first.’
After some hesitation, he made up his mind to tell Corinne about what happened in the past. However, just as he
opened his mouth, they heard Phoebe’s wails coming from outside the dining room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Jeremy, please! Can’t you think of something to get Anya out? Won’t you do it for old time’s sake? You have my
word that she won’t come between you and Miss Corinne anymore. Please! I beg you…”
“Old time’s sake? You mean how she lied to me for more than ten years? There were no feelings to begin with! Miss
Phoebe, seeing as you’re my elder, I’ve actually restrained myself from saying more hurtful things, so I hope you
won’t push your luck,” said Jeremy coldly.
“But Anya is innocent. She loves you so, so, so much!”
“You should be thankful I didn’t pursue the matter when I found out you two lied to me. You dare ask me for a
favor?”
