Jason did not answer her, but he did not shake her hands off either.

After a while, there was finally some light. The manor’s butler came rushing into the banquet hall with a flashlight in

his hand.

“Dear guests, please do not panic. It’s just a circuit trip. We’ve already asked someone to fix it, and the light will

come back soon enough,” announced the butler in a bid to reassure everyone.

“Please fix it as soon as possible. My girlfriend is afraid of the dark.”

“Ugh. That really gave us a fright.”

“It’s okay. It’s okay. There’s no need to be scared. It’s just a circuit trip.”

After a minute or so, the lights in the banquet hall came back on. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and went back to

what they were doing.

Unfortunately, Zeke-who was still standing in the middle of the dance floor-had already put on his clothes and was

tying up his tie.

He smirked at his friends and said, “Sorry guys. I finished the strip show when the electricity was out. Too bad you

all didn’t get to see it.”

Jason, Gerald, Jeremy, and Corinne were all speechless. In fact, Corinne heavily suspected that

Zeke was the one behind the blackout. Otherwise, it was too much of a coincidence for the circuit to trip just when

he was going to take off his pants.

It was not that she really wanted to see Zeke naked. She just thought it was a pity that he did not get the full

punishment when he was the one who deliberately egged her on to raise the bet during the card game.

Since the lights had come back on, Corinne let go of Jason’s arm. She then looked up at him and said, “Thank you.

Earlier…”

She stopped talking mid-sentence because when she looked up, it was not Jason’s face she saw but Jeremy’s. His

face was emotionless and cold, as usual.

‘Jeremy? How could it be him? He wasn’t standing here before the blackout.’

It never crossed Corinne’s mind that the man she had grabbed in the dark would be Jeremy. She instinctively took a

step back to get away from him.

However, coincidentally at that moment, the waiter who Jason had asked to bring a glass of juice for Corinne was

coming up from behind her with that glass of juice in his hand. The waiter did not expect Corinne to step back and

was caught off guard, causing the tray in his hand to nearly fall onto Corinne.

“Look out!”

Jeremy pulled Corinne into his embrace in the nick of time, and that was how Corinne was able to avoid knocking

over the waiter, who at the same time managed to stabilize the tray in his

hand.

Not only did Corinne not get away from Jeremy, but she was actually closer to him more than ever. Her cheeks

were squished against his strong chest, and she could feel the air thickening xo.com fast update

with tension.

“Jeremy!” shouted Anya suddenly.

Her voice pulled Corinne out of her trance, and she looked to where Anya’s voice came from.

Anya was standing not far away from them with Joey in her arms. She blinked innocently and frowned. Lucas and

Rosie were also beside her, and the two of them were staring daggers at

Corinne.

In that instant, Corinne quickly pulled herself away from Jeremy’s embrace to make room for Anya and Joey.

Anya walked over to Jeremy and said gently, “Jeremy, there was a blackout. Both Joey and I were so scared and he

kept crying for you.”
