Chapter 662


    Corinne pouted, “Fine, we’re just friends.”


    Upon hearing her speak the truth, the thorn in the man’s chest was finally pulled out.


    “Why did you lie to me?” the man asked, displeased.


    Corinne’s mood becameplicated. She turned her face away and intentionally avoided looking at


    him. “At that time, I thought you and Anya were a couple, and you had a child. So I just hoped you


    wouldn’t bother me anymore. I don’t want to be a third party for you.”


    The man coldly snorted, “In your eyes, am I the kind of man who would find a mistress outside?”


    Corinne rolled her eyes. “You can’t judge a person by their appearance! I’ve only known you for three


    months. How can I determine what kind of person you are?”


    As soon as she finished speaking, the man made a move. Corinne instinctively recoiled her neck,


    afraid of being hit.


    However, her hand was only firmly grasped by the man’s rough andrge hand!


    Jeremy pulled her hand into his suit jacket and gently rubbed her palm, cing it on his chest.


    Her palm immediately felt the warmth of his chest and the powerful rhythm of his heartbeat.


    Her heart trembled!


    What was he doing?


    The man’s deep voice sounded, “Do you want to take it out and see?”


    Corinne was stunned and met his affectionate gaze in astonishment. They locked eyes for a while, and


    she asked, “Mister Jeremy, do you like me?”


    Suddenly, the man leaned in, his tall nose tip touching hers, gently caressing it.


    Corinne could feel the man’s heartbeat racing in the palm of her hand. Each beat struck her palm one


    after another.


    Suddenly, the man leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Do you still need me to answer your


    question?”


    Corinne remained silent.


    Jeremy, with a hint of stubble on his cheek, gently brushed against her fair and tender cheek. “I don’t


    know when it started, but whenever I’m near you, this ce beats so fast it feels out of control. Tell me,


    do I like you?”


    Corinne’s eyshes trembled. She could not admit that she felt the same way. Whenever she was


    near this man, her heart would beat uncontrobly faster, and she could not maintain her usual


    composure.

    -The man sighed. “If I had any control over it, I wouldn’t let a heartless little thing like you affect me so


    much that life feels meaningless. Little girl, don’t run away. You can’t escape.”


    Corinne snapped back to her senses, blinked, and smiled. “Mister, I didn’t expect you to be quite


    skilled!”


    Jeremy raised an eyebrow. “Hmm? Skilled at what?”


    Corinne shrugged and raised her hands. “Skilled at coaxing people! Regardless of whether it’s true or


    not, your whole performance just now worked on me!”


    Jeremy frowned, displeased. “Corinne, listen carefully. Every word I said and every action I made just


    now came from the bottom of my heart! I have no experience and don’t understand emotions. I say


    whateveres to mind. Don’t overthink it!”


    His gaze was stern and sincere, instantly shattering Corinne’s intention to sever any ties with him.


    She knew very well that this man’s status and position would bring her unnecessary troubles, yet she


    could not push him away anymore.


    Perhaps this was what they called. Wise people don’t fall in love, but it’s difficult when she meets


    someone like him.


    Now that she knew he had no connection or child with Anya, Corinne had to admit that she still foolishly


    held feelings for this man!


    She sighed, realizing that her hand was still pressed against his chest. On a whim, she asked, “Mister,


    when you said you had no experience, does that mean I’m the first woman in your life?”


    “Yes,” the man answered candidly, the words slipping out.
