Chapter 324


    “I decided to learn a little bit about the subway lines after taking a ride with youst time.”


    Jeremy bent down and picked up the subway cards issued by the ticket machine. Then, he took


    Corinne’s hand and led her to the turnstiles to swipe their cards before walking to the waiting area as if


    he had done the same thing a thousand times.


    Corinne found it weird that he would want to learn about the subway lines that she missed out on the


    fact that Jeremy was holding her hand. “Why do you need to know about this kind of thing when you’re


    always being chauffeured around? Don’t you find it unnecessary?”


    Jeremy nced at her sideways and scoffed coldly, “Didn’t someonest time say that I should learn to


    live life like the average person once in a while?”


    Corinne was speechless. She remembered that she had indeed said that to him at the racecoursest


    time. At that time, she wanted to show Rosie that she had principles and was not with Jeremy for his


    money.


    “I didn’t mean anything by that. Did you really learn to take the subway like us average people just


    because I said that to you?”


    “You mean I’m not an average folk?” Jeremy asked with one eyebrow raised.


    Corinne pursed her mouth in disgust and replied, “Of course not. You’re one of those evil capitalists.”


    “Have I ever exploited you?” Jeremy asked with augh.


    “Yes! I have given you three months of my precious time. Not to mention, you’ve caused me so many


    troubles from the very first day I met you,” said Corinne confidently.


    Jeremy stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at her.


    “I’m sorry.”


    His sudden sincere apology made Corinne feel very ufortable.


    “Forget it. We’re both responsible for the situation we’re in now since you only started to exploit me


    after I kissed you. I’m fine as long as you don’t exploit me anymore after the three months are up.”


    “Deal.”


    “Mister, do keep in mind that there’s no postponement of ending this rtionship once the three months


    are up,” Corinne said with a frown.


    Jeremy narrowed his eyes and looked deeply into her eyes. You sound like you’re afraid I’ll ask for a


    postponement.”


    Corinne nodded vigorously. “Of course! I don’t want to be bound to you or be at your mercy forever. I


    really hope you’ll keep your word and give me back my freedom as promised.”


    Jeremy’s eyes darkened. “Corinne Carew, I’ll let you go and give you back your freedom now.”


    Corinne’s eyes lit up. “Really?”


    “Yes, really.”


    “Wow! Thanks, Mister. I’ll be leaving, then. Hope we never bump into each other again.”


    Corinne quickly shook off Jeremy’s hand and walked away. However, Jeremy pulled her back by the


    arm before she could even take three steps.


    “Did I say you can leave?” Jeremy asked coldly.


    Corinne looked puzzled. “You just told me you’re letting me go! How can you go back on your words so


    quickly?”


    “I’m not going to force you to pretend to be my wife anymore, but I hope you’ll at least consider


    bing my real wife.”


    Corinne looked at Jeremy in astonishment. She could not help but wonder whether she heard wrong.


    ‘He wants me to be his real wife? Wait a minute… Is he proposing to me?‘


    “Hello? Earth to Corinne?” Jeremy tapped her on the nose with his finger, wanting her toe out of


    her trace and put her focus back on him.


    Corinne recovered from her shock but was still slightly in a daze.

    “Didn’t you just ask me why I learned how to take the subway? Well, I was scared that you, being the


    little rascal that you are, will abandon me in the subway station one day and that I won’t be able to


    chase after you on ount of me not knowing how to buy the ticket.”


    As he was speaking, he slid his hand to her wrist and then interlocked his fingers with hers until he had


    her hand firmly sped in his. It was as if he was very worried that she would suddenly run away.


    Corinne was beginning to feel her resolve melting little by little. Jeremy’s every word and move made


    her more and more confused. She even looked behind and around her, checking to see if the elders


    from the Holden family had sent someone to spy on them. If not, why would Jeremy be acting like this?


    Jeremy noticed her looking around and knew that her brain must be going into overdrive again.
