Chapter 739


    At that moment, Lucas wished he could travel back in time to give the old him a p or two for


    mistaking Corinne.


    Meanwhile, back in the Holdens‘ mansion.


    Corinne fished out her phone, which had been vibrating the whole time, from her pocket as soon as


    Lucas left the house. It was a video call from Jeremy. She had put her phone on silent during the


    conversation she had with Lucas and now that he had left, she could finally answer the video call.


    Jeremy’s perfect and handsome face appeared on her phone screen as soon as she tapped on the


    ‘Answer‘ button. “What were you doing just now? Why did it take you this long to answer my call?” he


    said angrily and coldly.


    Corinne sat downnguidly on the sofa. “I was eating just now.”


    “Eating? With who?” Jeremy asked with a frown.


    ‘Someone from this house must have snitched on me!‘ thought Corinne. She pouted and said a little


    unhappily, “Don’t you already know the answer to that?”


    Jeremy narrowed his eyes; he decided to drop the pretense. “Why did Lucase to see you when I’m


    not at home? More importantly, why did he cook for you?”


    Corinne thought Jeremy looked cute when he was jealous. She beamed a cheeky smile at him and


    said, “He’s probably just bored and thought he woulde to our ce and show off his cooking


    skills.”Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    The words ‘our ce‘ made Jeremy’s heart melt a little but his tone remained unhappy. “Why did you


    eat what he made for you? Have you already forgotten that I specifically told you not to eat food cooked


    or brought by another man?”


    Corinne pouted again. “Well, I thought it would be alright since Lucas would not be that stupid to


    speciallye to our ce to poison me, right?”


    –


    There it was again our ce. Hearing those two little words made it very hard for Jeremy to stay mad


    at Corinne. Thus, he sighed and asked seriously, “So what was the reason for his visit?”


    “It’s a long story. I’ll tell you when you’re back. You should focus on your work now.”


    The frown on Jeremy’s forehead became deeper. It was obvious he was not happy with her answer.


    ‘It’s not like Lucas toe to our ce unless something really serious happened… so the fact that he


    would do so must mean he has some serious business with Corinne and yet that little rascal has the


    cheek to make me wait for her answer!‘


    “Mister, look what I got!” Corinne held up the money for him to see.


    Notcking any money himself, Jeremy simply looked at the green pieces of paper in her hand with a


    raised eyebrow. “What about it?”


    “I finally got the sry Lucas owed me for the work I did in Rivera Group! It had dragged on for so long


    I thought I was never going to get it back.” Corinne beamed happily at the stern


    Jeremy through the phone screen. “Let’s go out for dinner tonight. It’ll be my treat!”


    At that moment, the unhappy frown on Jeremy’s forehead finally disappeared. He could not stand just


    how adorable Corinne was. “Why, that’s very generous of you.”


    “Of course!” Corinne lifted her chin proudly. “And I don’t do this for everyone so you should count


    yourself lucky, Mister.”


    “Oh, really? Which restaurant do you have in mind then?” Jeremy asked with a smile.
