Chapter 359


    Sunny stayed behind in the dining room, waiting for Corinne and Jeremy to give out his punishment.


    The maid ced a steaming hot te of breakfast food in front of Corinne, who was so hungry that she


    immediately dug in. As she was shoveling the bacon and egg into her mouth, she sensed a pair of eyes


    boring into her. She did not know how to describe the look, but the closest she could get was that it felt


    like she was being entwined by a ming thread that was getting tighter around her body.


    She instinctively frowned and red at Jeremy. “Mister, why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be off to


    work right now?”


    Jeremy furrowed his brow in mock anger. “You just can’t wait for me to leave, huh?”


    Corinne shook her head. “No, it’s not like that. It’s more like you’ve finished your breakfast, so instead


    of wasting your time here, shouldn’t you head off to work where your staff is waiting for you?”


    Jeremy pursed his lips and said, “There’s no rush.”


    Corinne twitched the corners of her mouth. “Okay, I won’t say anything more now that I know you’re not


    in a rush, but can you not stare at me like that while I’m eating?”


    Jeremy raised his eyebrow. “Can’t I even get a good look at you after how you left me to sleep alone in


    the studyst night?”


    Corinne scoffed and mockingly said, “From ancient times, any emperor who was foundte to work


    always used the excuse of being seduced by a temptress, and said innocent woman would have to


    carry the shame of being called a temptress for the rest of her life. Mister, I hope you’re not thinking of


    making it a habit of beingte to work every day because I really can’t have your staff calling me a


    temptress.”


    “Nonsense! Who’d ever dare to call you that?” Jeremy actuallyughed when he heard what she said.


    Instead of being angry, he was delighted to find the many creative ways Corinne coulde up with


    just to make him go to work on time.


    Corinne rolled her eyes. “Of course they wouldn’t call me that to your face, but they’ll surely talk. about


    me behind your backs, and I can assure you it’s not going to be something nice about me.”


    Jeremy pinched her cheeks out of both adoration and frustration. Then, he said gently, “Fine. To not


    have them call you a temptress, I’ll go to work now, but just wait and see how I’ll deal with you. little


    rascal once I’m back home.”


    Corinne simplyughed at his threat.


    Jeremy got up from the dining table and put one hand on the back of her chair before bending. down to


    look her deeply in the eyes. It was obvious he was asking for a goodbye kiss, but Corinne was a little


    unwilling to give him one because there was a minor–Sunny–in the room.


    Thinking on her feet, she quickly picked up a piece of ham with a fork and shoved it into his mouth.


    Jeremy was a little taken aback, and even though his eyes were filled with unhappiness, held


    nheless swallowed the ham. Even though he did not get what he wanted, he was willing to


    concede to the fact that Corinne fed him out of her own ord.

    “Be a good girl while I’m gone, yeah.” Jeremy straightened himself up and ruffled up her hair. Then, he


    put the coat the maid passed to him onto the crook of his arm before marching out of the house.


    Corinne remained seated at the dining table. Blinking awkwardly and blushing madly, she picked up the


    ss of warm milk off the table and drank it in a bid to calm herself.


    Sunny–who witnessed the whole thing–was dumbstruck. He never saw such vivid behaviors from


    Jeremy. In fact, the Jeremy he knew was humorous and cold.


    Jeremy was like a different person around Corinne. It was as if he really loved her and that they were


    just flirting in the way that every couple in the world would do. He would not believe it if anyone were to


    tell him that Jeremy could show any signs of emotions other than aloofness if he had not seen it


    personally.


    Thus, Sunny became wary of Corinne because if things were to continue like that, she might just really


    steal Anya’s beloved Jeremy away from her. He feared that Anya would not be able to take the news


    and would end up doing something crazy.


    After Corinne finished her breakfast, she got up from the dining table and walked toward the direction


    of where Sunny was standing.


    Sunny, to his credit, did not back down.


    “Do whatever you want to me! I’m prepared to ept any punishment!”
