Chapter 268


    Anya was slightly shorter than Corinne. Her skin looked so fair that it looked like she was sick or


    suffered from malnutrition. She had shaped her eyebrows exquisitely to entuate her gentleness.


    There was a rouge mole between her brows, too.


    She had a beautiful pair of slightly droopy eyes, making her look like a carefree fawn innocent to the


    dangers of the world.


    She was very pretty but not the aggressive, invasive type of beauty. On the contrary, people would


    automatically think of protecting her.


    However, she was wearing a nightgown and opened the door barefooted… It seemed like she must


    have spent the night here yesterday.


    As Corinne was aware of that, she curled her lips ironically.


    Luckily, she was smart enough to stay outsidest night, or it would have been embarrassing. That


    being said, how shameful can Jeremy be? Could he at least be kind enough to stay outside with his old


    love?


    Did he not know he was already married?


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Even though their marriage was built upon a mutual agreement that was forged, it was still very mean


    of him to bring another woman back into their home to stay overnight!


    Anya blinked herrge round eyes when she did not get any answer or response from Corinne. She


    asked again, “Hi. Who are you looking for?”


    Corinne was not ignoring her; she just did not know how to


    answer Anya’s question. She presumed Anya would not know her even if she told Anya her name.


    However, if she told Anya she was Jeremy’s wife, it seemed like she was provoking her.


    She did not have the intention to create any conflicts with Anya, whom she had just met for the first


    time nor did she intend to steal Jeremy from Anya.


    After some thinking, she found a more subtle answer. “I’m not looking for anyone. I’m staying here


    temporarily.”


    Anya widened her eyes like she discovered something new. ” You stay here?”


    At that moment, Bowen came running down the stairs with an anxious look. All of a sudden, he saw


    Corinne standing at the door. His eyes brightened as he strode toward them excitedly. ” Ma’am, you’re


    back!”


    Corinne looked at Bowen and nodded.


    Caringly, Bowen examined Corinne from top to bottom before he asked, “Ma’am, where did you gost


    night? Why didn’t youe back?”


    Corinne entered the house and nonchntly answered, “I was at my friend’s house and it was getting


    late, so I spent the night there.”


    Knowing Corinne was home safe and sound, Bowen was relieved. “I see. Anyway, it’s good that you’re


    back.”


    The changes in Bowen’s expression did not affect Corinne. Naturally, she passed the lunchbox in her


    hand to him and said, “Bowen, this is the chestnut cake I brought back from my friend’s house. Can


    you please get someone to put it in the freezer? I’m going to eat it when I’m hungry during the


    evening.”


    Bowen epted it respectfully. “Yes, Ma’am.”


    Immediately, he called a maid over and passed the chestnut cake to her, telling her to put it into the


    fridge. He also gave


    her a hint to call Jeremy to inform him that Corinne had returned.


    The maid understood and nodded before leaving with the lunchbox.


    After that, Corinne walked toward the stairs to go upstairs to her room without caring about Anya. In


    fact, she had her te full. Designing the Holden Group’s building was not an easy job. After dying it


    for many days, she finally found inspiration for the design.


    It was very pressing toe out with a draft design within three days, so she had to make use of her


    time wisely and get started with her work.


    However, someone called out to her softly after she took a few steps.


    “Corinne.”


    Anya sounded gentle and soft.


    Corinne stopped walking and was surprised Anya knew her name.


    She looked back. “Yes? Is there anything I can do for you?”
