Corinne sipped her lemon water. “Should you take responsibility for yourself if your curiosity keeps you up at night?
Don’t you think it’s weird for you to insist I take responsibility for that when I just met you today?”
Sophia shrugged her shoulders and opened her palms. “Okay, okay. I won’t ask more if you’re that reluctant to talk
about the past. Eat up, then!”
Corinne’s cell phone then vibrated. She glanced at the screen and saw that Jason had sent another message. [I’m
here.]
She placed the glass of lemon water down and grabbed her things. “I’m full. My friend is here, so I’ll excuse myself
and leave you two to enjoy the rest of the meal. Goodbye.”
Jeremy remained expressionless. He pushed the phone in front of her and said, “Could you leave your contact
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinformation with me?”
Corinne looked at the QR code on his cell phone screen and said, “Don’t you have my email? You may contact me
through email if you have anything to ask. I prefer that to other modes of communication.”
Corinne then turned around to leave.
Sophia looked at Moon’s retreating figure and said, “Do you think Moon might be…”
Jeremy silently got up and followed her out.
Corinne walked out of the restaurant. She got into a white Bugatti, and the car drove away slowly. Jeremy saw it all
as he watched everything through the glass door of the restaurant.
Inside the car, Corinne grabbed the seat belt with her hands and let out a long sigh.
Jason was driving at moderate speed, but the way Corinne grabbed the seat belt made him a little worried. “What’s
wrong? Are you nauseous?”
Corinne shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Jason reached out and patted her shoulder to comfort her. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here!”
Corinne glanced listlessly at Jason. “Didn’t you say you were going to send someone to pick me up? Why did you
come here yourself?”
Jason smiled wryly and said, “You had me worried when you said that you were having a meal with Jeremy. I had to
pick you up myself, or I won’t be able to sit still!”
“Don’t worry,” Corinne said, “I put on a very good performance, and he didn’t suspect anything.”
Her fake face was done so well that no one would be able to spot any flaws, even at a close distance. Jason was not
worried that Jeremy might notice something was off—he was mainly worried that Corinne would rekindle her old
love for Jeremy.

“How does it feel to have a meal with your old flame after half a year without seeing him?” Jason asked tentatively.
“I don’t feel anything,” Corinne replied as she leaned lazily on the seat.
Jason raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure? You don’t look like you don’t feel anything.”
“If feelings are what you’re asking,” Corinne said, “then I guess all I feel right now is disgust.”
Jason smiled. “That’s good to hear. I was worried you wouldn’t want me anymore after meeting him!”
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “When have I wanted you anyway? Don’t just make assumptions!”
Jason shrugged. “You’re right, you’re right. I shouldn’t assume things. Well, it’s not often that we get to go out. Is
there anywhere in particular you’d like to go? How about I drive you around?”
Corinne waved her hand. “No thanks. I’m not in the mood to go anywhere. Just bring me home. I’m tired, and I
want to go back to sleep.”
