Chapter 45


    Annie looked at Corinne with admiration and adtion. “I was right to make you my goddess! You’re


    the only person who can bring my uncle down from his ivory tower to experience the wonders of this


    world!”


    The corners of Corinne’s lips twitched as she smiled stiffly.


    It was not so much her ability as it was the agreement that existed between them. Since he needed her


    to cooperate in being affectionate in front of his grandmother, he had no choice but to be magnanimous


    and invite her to a meal.


    Jeremy shot Annie a cold look. “Didn’t I tell you to reflect on your mistakes at home? Who said you


    coulde out?”


    Annie pouted and stuck out her tongue. “I don’t want to stay at home and spend my time reflecting on


    it! Isn’t it depressing enough for me to get cheated on and have my wedding ruined? How could you


    bring yourself to have me lock myself up at home and reflect on it!”


    Jeremy ignored her protests and looked at the two people beside her.


    Sunny looked at Jeremy respectfully and greeted him. “Hello, Jeremy.”


    Jeremy nodded slightly, as if to acknowledge his greeting. “How did the three of you end up together?


    Where have all of you been?”


    The curly-haired woman smiled warmly and tucked her hair behind her ears as she came forward.


    Sunny and I went shopping and ran into Annie there.”


    Jeremy closed his eyes, responded with a soft grunt, and said nothing else.


    The curly-haired woman looked at the freshly-served food on the table and said enthusiastically, You


    two seem to have just started eating, and we happen to be searching for a ce to eat too. May we


    join in?”

    Rather than answering them, Jeremy looked at Corinne as if to get her opinion.


    Corinne was concentrating on her food when she realized that he was looking at her. She immediately


    understood what he was trying to imply and said indifferently, “Sure. I don’t mind!”


    He was paying, after all, and she was only there to fill her tummy. Whether or not they joined did


    not matter to her.


    After Corinne made her stance known, Jeremy nodded and said, “Have a seat then.”


    The curly-haired woman was startled to see their interaction, and her expression sank right then.


    Annie sat down enthusiastically next to Corinne, while the curly-haired woman casually took her seat


    next to Jeremy.


    Since the table was meant for four, Sunny had to sit on the chair that the waitress brought over.


    After ordering some more food, the curly-haired woman greeted Corinne with a smile. “Hi there,


    Corinne. My name is Rosie Sutton, and I’ve been friends with Jeremy for many years.”


    Corinne drank some water and nodded. “Hi, nice to meet you.”


    Annie pestered Corinne like a little girl and asked, “Oh, there’s something I wanted to ask yesterday but


    didn’t get a chance to. How are you so good at dice games? Did you learn it before? It’s super


    amazing!”


    Before Corinne could even say anything, Sunny let out a disdainful snort. “Tch! You’re calling her your


    goddess just because she’s good at rolling dice! What sort of admiration is that, Annie?”


    Annie frowned unhappily and red at Sunny, “She is and always will be my queen! Why do you even


    care so much about it? If you think you’re better than me, then why don’t you tell me who your goddess


    is?”


    Sunny waggled his eyebrows proudly. “Have you heard of Jade Rabbit, one of the two top hackers in


    the world? She’s my goddess, and I’m going to make her my wife too! She’ll be mine, and I’ll dote on


    her to high heaven!”


    When Corinne heard that, she choked up and coughed violently, almost slice that she stuffed into my


    mouth.


    Annie panicked. “Are you all right?”


    Jeremy, who was having a conversation with Rosie, heard Corinne’s coughing and looked over


    suddenly. He frowned, ced a tissue in front of her mouth, and asked her to spit out what was in her


    mouth. “Don’t wolf down all the food in such a rush. No one’s going to snatch it from you.”


    The man’s tone was harsh, as if he was lecturing his children.


    Rosie was taken aback. She had never seen Jeremy caring so much for a woman.


    Sunny frowned and had a look of contempt. “She’s just pretending!”


    Rosie shot back at him and said, “How can you say that? She’s really choking!”


    Sunny downyed her remark. “What’s there to choke on Asian food? I think she’s just putting on an


    act and making a mountain out of a molehill!”


    Rosie was helpless. “Hey, don’t be so mean…”


    Corinne wiped her mouth, got up, and said, “Excuse me while I go to the bathroom.”


    Rosie then stood up and followed her. “I’ll go with you, Corinne!”
