Corinne’s expression soured. “Who are you calling a pig?”
Jeremy smirked. “Who’s sitting on a swing chair?”
No woman would be happy after being called a chubby pig, and the same went for Corinne. She might have gained
some weight because of her pregnancy, but her arms and legs were still slender. It was only her face and belly that
became rounder.
“You should keep your mouth shut if you can’t hold a conversation like a normal person. Otherwise, you’ll run the
risk of being cursed at.”
Jeremy grinned when he saw how angry she was. “What’s wrong with being a little chubby pig? It’s adorable.”
Corinne gritted her teeth and shot back unhappily, “Wow, thanks for your compliment! Well, you’ve seen me on the
swing, right? Is there anything else you want from me? If that’s all, I’ll be hanging up now.”

Corinne’s anger had hit the roof. “What did I do to piss you off? Do you have to jinx it like that?”
Jeremy sat up straight and got closer to the camera. “I like you this way. The chubbiness feels good to the touch.”
“Whether or not my chubbiness feels good to the touch is none of your d*mn business! You’re such a jerk!” Corinne
frowned in anger.
Jeremy chuckled in a low voice. “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. Make sure not to stay in the sun for too long.
Head back into the house when it gets hot.”
“You’re not the boss of me!” Corinne shot back. “I can stay in the sun for as long as I want!”
Jeremy frowned and pretended to be serious. “And become a roast pig?”
Corinne gritted her teeth unhappily. “I swear, if you call me a pig again, I’ll—”
Jeremy did not let himself get too carried away. His gaze softened, and he said in a persuading tone, “Okay, okay.
You’re not a pig, and you’re not fat. Your figure right now is perfect. You were too thin in the past, like you could
come crashing down if the wind was a little too strong. I like it when you have a little meat. It makes you look
adorable.”
‘Why is he talking to me like that? I’m not a child! I’ve already made myself very clear in the car yesterday! Why
can’t he take the hint? Does he have to keep making all these cheeky statements?’ Corinne scrunched her nose in
annoyance.
She felt that she was blushing, so she did not look at the camera as she did not want Jeremy to notice anything.
Jeremy remained silent for quite some time, too. ‘I suppose I can end the call now if he has nothing else to say?’
Corinne looked at the screen and saw that Jeremy was no longer there. The cell phone was still placed on the desk,
and it was facing his empty office chair.
‘Where is he? Why didn’t he say anything if he wanted to leave? He could’ve just ended the call then! What a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmweirdo.’
Corinne was prepared to end the call when she remembered his threat from the previous night. He had warned her
that he would burn the painting if she hung up.
She soon hesitated as she did not want to take a chance with her mother’s painting. After thinking about it, she
decided to put the phone to one side instead of hanging up.
At that moment, Sunny ran over and panted heavily as he opened the umbrella. “You were here all along! I
searched everywhere for you!”
Corinne looked at his sweaty face and realized his simple straightforwardness was his charm.
It was not surprising that Xante would fall in love with him. Naive and simple-minded boys like him were far and few
in between. Most of them were rotten, scheming men like Jeremy.
Sunny held up the umbrella to shield Corinne from the sun. As soon as he stopped panting, he asked again, “Can’t I
go out for a while at noon? I want to have lunch with Xante…”
Corinne rocked gently on the swing. “What do you like about Xante?”
Sunny was taken aback by the question. It was something he had not yet considered.
