With her hope dashed, Sophia laughed ruefully. “Don’t get me wrong, Jeremy. I don’t hold

out any expectation for us to be together now that our marriage has been revoked. But

can you please help me out with one last thing before you leave?”

Having been set up by her before, Jeremy’s eyes rang with caution. “What is it?”

Sophia rested her chin on her hand and said in a troubled tone, “There’s this guy who has

been chasing me all these years. Since I’ve given up on you, I’m…actually considering

accepting him.”

“Well, that’s a good thing, isn’t it? Go for it.”

Sophia blinked innocently at him. “Jeremy, if you really did think of me as your friend

before, can you help me check him out? He’ll be coming to pick me up later, so can you

see if he’s serious about me? I’m asking you ’cause you’re a guy, and a guy knows a guy

best.”

Her request was not unreasonable, so Jeremy looked at his watch to see if there was still

time. ‘If Sophia has a boyfriend, Adam won’t do anything to Corinne anymore,’ thought

Jeremy. Thus, he nodded and said, “Sure.”

…

Meanwhile, back in the Riveras’ living room.

Corinne received a photo of a flight ticket from Jeremy. The take-off time was eleven

o’clock in the morning.

Her heart started beating excitedly when she saw the photo. ‘Does this mean he has taken

care of the problem? If he’s flying back today, he’ll be back here by tomorrow morning!’

She gripped her phone tightly and felt relief washed over her. However, it did not last long

as she would only stop worrying about him after she saw him with her own eyes.

Someone suddenly patted her head.

“You look happy. Care to share why?” asked Lucas as he walked

Corinne snapped back to the present and asked sternly, “Ahem! What makes you think I’m

happy?”

Lucas reached out to pinch her nose. “Well, aren’t you? The look of anticipation is written

all over your face. You must be thinking of Jeremy again, aren’t you?”

Corinne turned bright red. Instead of answering him, she asked, “Mister at work? Or are

you on strike?”

Lucas liked how Corinne would talk to him without reservation as though they were friends

then. It was so unlike the distant awkwardness that they started with. This gave Lucas

motivation to try harder to get her to drop the word ‘Mister’ in front of his name when

addressing him.

“Work’s not that busy today, so I can pop in later. What do you want to have for dinner

tonight? I’ll bring it home for you,” said Lucas.

Corinne shook her head. “There’s nothing in particular I’m craving for, so I’ll have

whatever you bring back. By the way, can you please get some cheese sticks for Joey on

your way back? I’ll text you the shop’s address later. It must be from that shop since all

the cheese there is handmade and has no preservatives.”

Lucas frowned for a second. His heart really went out for Corinne.

‘Despite her tough exterior, she’s a softie at heart. Even though Joey isn’t her child, she

still treats him as her own,’ thought Lucas. He was impressed by how compassionate she

could be.

Not many would be able to be so nice to the adopted child of someone, namely Anya, who

had hurt them so much previously.

Lucas’ gaze softened. He then smiled and nodded. “Okay. Remember to text me the

address later, and I’ll bring it back for you tonight.”
