Chapter 388


    Jeremy stood at the entrance, and because the television was turned on too loudly, he noticed


    something was different at home the moment he walked through the door. He squinted at the three


    strangers sitting in the living room, and that caused his handsome eyes to darken with rm


    immediately.


    The two maids greeted him as usual. One of them helped him out of his suit jacket while the other bent


    to help him wear his house slippers. Jeremy took out his jacket and passed it to one of the maids, but


    he did not put on the house slippers.


    “Who are those people in the living room?” he asked in that deep voice of his.


    The maid exchanged confused looks with one another, and one of them answered helplessly, “Mister


    Jeremy, they’re Ma’am’s family, but they…”


    The maid found herself unable to continue as she did not know how to tell him that Corinne had


    introduced the ‘new Missus. Holden‘ to them. It was tooplicated to the extent that


    they, the servants, had no idea what happened.


    “Well, go on. ‘But‘ what?” Jeremy asked impatiently, not liking the maid’s hesitancy one bit.


    The maid felt pressured, and this made it even harder for her to go on. She was just thinking about how


    to exin the situation to Jeremy without making him angry when Bowen came just in time to save her.


    “Mister Jeremy, you’re back! The guests in the living room are the parents and sister of Ma’am. They


    dropped by this


    morning to visit her,” said Bowen.


    ‘They’re the little rascal’s family?‘ thought Jeremy. His long legs carried him out of the entrance and


    toward the living room, his eyes not as hostile as before. Before, he did not care about Corinne’s family


    because their marriage was fake, but that changed. He wanted to continue the marriage with her, so he


    thought he should treat her family well to show that he respected them and Corinne.


    “Where is she?” Jeremy asked. At the word ‘she‘, his usual cold tone became softer.

    Bowen’s expression changed at the mention of Corinne. “Umm … Ma’am is in her room, packing her


    things. She said that she needed to make room for her sister.”


    ‘Packing her things?‘ Jeremy frowned. ‘What’s going on? I thought everything was going great between


    us. What’s she upset about this time?”


    Bowen started to exin to Jeremy everything that happened today when Sherlyn- who wanted to go


    to the bathroom after having finished her desserts got up from the sofa and saw the impossible -to–


    miss and impossible -to–take–her–eyes- off handsome Jeremy, who stood at the living room entrance.


    Her eyes lit up, and she greeted him excitedly, “Jeremy, you’re back!”


    Bowen was only halfway through exining what happened today and had not gotten to the key points


    yet. Therefore, Jeremy had not gotten the full picture of the situation, so it was understandable of him


    to treat Corinne’s family with the utmost respect.


    Jeremy nodded slightly at Sherlyn, who walked toward him,


    and said, “Hello. Wee.”
