Chapter 708


    Corinne graciously held Jeremy’s hand in hers. “Mister Cedric, this is my boyfriend. I’m pretty sure you


    know him already so I won’t go into a long introduction.”


    Cedric looked at the two of them in disbelief. “What? This old chap is your boyfriend? Didn’t you call


    him Mister just now? I thought he’s just a rtive of yours.”


    Jeremy was initially happy with Corinne’s performance but his face turned cold again when Cedric


    referred to him as an “old chap”.


    ‘My, Mister Cedric really doesn’t hold back his thoughts, does he? Not to mention he seems to get


    overly emotional very fast,’ thought Corinne as she looked helplessly on at Cedric’s reaction. After that


    she smiled wryly and said, “I called him Mister because he’s a bit older than me. We’re not rted in


    any way. He’s really my boyfriend.”


    Cedric kept shaking his head. “What a shame for a young girl like you to be dating an old and boring


    man like him.”


    Lucas, who was initially in a bad mood, could not help butugh when he heard that and this caused


    Jeremy’s eyes to darken as he looked daggers at him.


    “Corinne, it’s not toote to listen to my advice. Break up with him while the two of you are still not


    married and I’ll introduce hot and young guys to you,” said Cedric in a tone that seemed to imply


    Corinne was about to make the biggest mistake of her life.


    Jeremy could not hold it back any longer. He inteced his fingers with Corinne and put it up for


    everyone to see to show that she belonged to him. “Sorry to burst your bubble but we’re already


    married. Sorry for thete introduction, Mister Cedric, but this here is my wife.”


    Cedric frowned. He was well aware Jeremy was in the room as well but he chose to ignore him on


    ount of the bad blood between the two families. ‘Isn’t he fooling around with Anya? Don’t tell me he


    has changed his target to Corinne this time?’


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Jeremy pulled Corinne up with him and said, “It’s gettingte so we, the Holdens, will make a move


    now. Do take care, Mister Cedric. Goodbye.”


    Jeremy made sure to emphasize on the words “the Holdens” to warn everyone not to have any funny


    business. After that, he put his arm around Corinne and led her out of the mansion.


    Seeing this, Cedric could not help but feel like Corinne was being led like amb to the ughter and


    this made him very, very mad. Thus, he got up from the sofa and chased after them with his cane and


    shouted, “Corinne, Eddy is a really open-minded guy so he won’t mind if you’re divorced so let me


    know if you want me to set the two of you up.”


    Jeremy suddenly paused and his cold aura manifested into thousands of metaphorical icy arrows that


    plunged deep into everyone’s heart. Lucas frowned and said helplessly, “Grandpa, what are you doing?


    You never strike me as an old geezer who butts his nose into other people’s business.”


    Cedric sat down with a huff when he saw Corinne and Jeremy had already left the mansion.” I’m not


    butting into other people’s business. I went to visit Mitchell, that old professor friend of mine, and he’s in


    critical condition. He doesn’t have much time left and his dying wish is to see his grandson get married


    but Eddy keeps on meeting one wrong girl after another… It’s so rare toe across an honest and


    kind-hearted girl like Corinne nowadays so I hope to introduce her to Eddy and who knows… they


    might end up married which will surely make Mitchell happy.”


    Lucas fell silent. He understood where Cedric wasing from but what he could not understand was


    his opinion of Corinne. “Grandpa, what makes you think Corinne is an honest. and kind-hearted girl?”


    Cedric immediately rolled his eyes at him.
