Chapter 710
Corinne rolled her eyes and said, “As if!”
Jeremy smiled neutrally. “You’re really not regretting your decision? I mean, would you have agreed to
meet up with Eddy if I wasn’t there in the room?”
Corinne mulled over his question while drinking her water. Blushing, she finally nodded and said, “Most
probably.”
Jeremy’s eyes darkened. “Huh! At least you’re honest.”
Corinne met his gaze straight on with her clear and bright eyes. “I admit I do want to meet him but not
because I want to marry him. The feelings I have toward him are simply those of a celebrity and fan…
Besides, it wouldn’t hurt to ask for his autograph.”
Jeremy frowned, threw back his head, and downed half of his bottle in one go. Corinne stared at his
side profile and wondered if he was jealous. After thinking about it, she frowned and asked, “Didn’t you
have any celebrity you worshiped when you were little? Like… you don’t want to get into bed with them
but like them just because.”
“I had no childhood when I was little,” said Jeremy gloomily. At that moment, he was recalling how he
saved Corinne from falling to her death when they were both at Castle Horse Ranch and the
conversation he had with her while the two of them were trapped at the bottom of the cliff.
Corinne, with a face filled with awe and adoration, told him, “The celebrity I worshiped when I was 18
was called Eddy Wilde. I would listen to his songs over and over again and I even fantasized about
marrying him one day…
‘She was the one who told me she fantasized about marrying Eddy!’ thought Jeremy. Even though they
were only partners at that time and he had not even confessed his feelings to her, it still made him
unhappy to hear the woman he loved freely admit she wanted to marry another man in the past.
However, at that moment, Corinne was still reeling from the shock of what Jeremy said. ‘He had no
childhood?’ She stared at his handsome face for quite a while and suddenly realized she had no idea
what he went through in his youth.
It was not hard to imagine what Jeremy went through though. Being born in a prominent family such as
his would mean he was tasked with the burden of ensuring the entire family’s prosperity would
continue; therefore, he would be subjected to all sorts of training and education.
‘Mister probably didn’t have any freedom when he was young so it stands to reason he would say he
didn’t have a childhood,’ thought Corinne. While it was true Jeremy did not want any material stuff but
his parents did not coddle him at all. In fact, he was subjected to all kinds of high standards and high
pressure from all those around him. Only then would he be able to be the fearless and powerful
business tycoon he was today.
Corinne could not help but feel pity for Jeremy when she thought how lonely he must have felt in his
own home. This despite herself having a harsh childhood too. In fact, their childhood was no better
than each other’s.
Her attitude toward him softened a little at this so she took the time to softly exin, “Mister,

I only like Eddy for his songs, not his person! I’ll stop following him if you don’t want me to.”
Jeremy was a little surprised by her change of attitude. His cold expression immediately warmed up a
bit as he looked at her in disbelief. “Do you really mean that?”
Corinne knew Jeremy’s anger came from a ce of jealousy. It was a little childish, sure; but she
thought it cute too since she never saw this side of him. She beamed a smile at him and said, “Mister,
do you have any work of art you could show me?”
“My own work of art?” Jeremy repeated with a raise of his brow.
Corinne’s eyes began to sparkle. “Yeah! I mean you’re talented in so many areas so I’m pretty sure
you’re good in art too. I might evene to worship your work of art if you can just show them to me
and then who’s to say I won’t fall madly in love with you then?”
