Chapter 710
Corinne rolled her eyes and said, “As if!”
Jeremy smiled neutrally. “You’re really not regretting your decision? I mean, would you have agreed to meet up
with Eddy if I wasn’t there in the room?”
Corinne mulled over his question while drinking her water. Blushing, she finally nodded and said, “Most probably.”
Jeremy’s eyes darkened. “Huh! At least you’re honest.”
Corinne met his gaze straight on with her clear and bright eyes. “I admit I do want to meet him but not because I
want to marry him. The feelings I have toward him are simply those of a celebrity and fan… Besides, it wouldn’t
hurt to ask for his autograph.”

wondered if he was jealous. After thinking about it, she frowned and asked, “Didn’t you have any celebrity you
worshiped when you were little? Like… you don’t want to get into bed with them but like them just because.”
“I had no childhood when I was little,” said Jeremy gloomily. At that moment, he was recalling how he saved Corinne
from falling to her death when they were both at Castle Horse Ranch and the conversation he had with her while
the two of them were trapped at the bottom of the cliff.
Corinne, with a face filled with awe and adoration, told him, “The celebrity I worshiped when I was 18 was called
Eddy Wilde. I would listen to his songs over and over again and I even fantasized about marrying him one day…
‘She was the one who told me she fantasized about marrying Eddy!’ thought Jeremy. Even though they were only
partners at that time and he had not even confessed his feelings to her, it still made him unhappy to hear the
woman he loved freely admit she wanted to marry another man in the past.
However, at that moment, Corinne was still reeling from the shock of what Jeremy said. ‘He had no childhood?’ She
stared at his handsome face for quite a while and suddenly realized she had no idea what he went through in his
youth.
It was not hard to imagine what Jeremy went through though. Being born in a prominent family such as his would
mean he was tasked with the burden of ensuring the entire family’s prosperity would continue; therefore, he would
be subjected to all sorts of training and education.
‘Mister probably didn’t have any freedom when he was young so it stands to reason he would say he didn’t have a
childhood,’ thought Corinne. While it was true Jeremy did not want any material stuff but his parents did not coddle
him at all. In fact, he was subjected to all kinds of high standards and high pressure from all those around him. Only
then would he be able to become the fearless and powerful business tycoon he was today.
Corinne could not help but feel pity for Jeremy when she thought how lonely he must have felt in his own home.

Her attitude toward him softened a little at this so she took the time to softly explain, “Mister,
I only like Eddy for his songs, not his person! I’ll stop following him if you don’t want me to.”
Jeremy was a little surprised by her change of attitude. His cold expression immediately warmed up a bit as he
looked at her in disbelief. “Do you really mean that?”
Corinne knew Jeremy’s anger came from a place of jealousy. It was a little childish, sure; but she thought it cute too
since she never saw this side of him. She beamed a smile at him and said, “Mister, do you have any work of art you
could show me?”
“My own work of art?” Jeremy repeated with a raise of his brow.
Corinne’s eyes began to sparkle. “Yeah! I mean you’re talented in so many areas so I’m pretty sure you’re good in
art too. I might even come to worship your work of art if you can just show them to me and then who’s to say I
won’t fall madly in love with you then?”
