Chapter 748


    Annie’sment drew Corinne and Jeremy’s attention, who both frowned concernedly. ‘It’d be best if this


    sucker for love doesn’t get into too many rtionships.’


    The waiter then came in and served some appetizers.


    Annie seemed to be in a trance, so Corinne ced some sd on Annie’s te. “Why are you.


    spacing out? Didn’t you say you were hungry? It’s time to eat!”


    Annie came to her senses and smiled. “Thanks!”


    Corinne then ced some food into Jeremy’s te too, lest that petty man start getting jealous over his


    niece.


    Annie was a chatterbox who continued to talk while she ate. “By the way, have you and Corinne


    obtained your marriage certificate?”

    Corinne and Jeremy were stumped.


    Jeremy tilted his head and nced at Corinne. “Not yet.”


    Annie frowned seriously. “Why not? Aren’t you afraid she’ll run away with someone else one day if


    she’s unhappy? Getting the certificate should be a priority! You should make sure to lock her down after


    all that effort you took to get her back!”


    Jeremy was speechless.


    He did not respond to what Annie said and had a slightlyplicated expression on his face. He then


    picked up the ss of water and took a sip.


    Corinne did not take Annie’s words seriously at first, but Jeremy’s silence caught her attention. ‘He


    doesn’t seem to want to get a marriage certificate with me.”


    Annie thought that Jeremy was just trying to act tough and was worried about getting rejected. if he


    asked about it.


    She then said on Jeremy’s behalf, “You and Uncle Jeremy should get the certificate done tomorrow.


    That way, the two of you won’t have anything to worry about in the future!”


    Corinne nced at the man beside her. Upon seeing that he was still silently drinking his water, she


    slowly took a bite of her food and said, “There’s no rush.”


    Annie looked puzzled. “No rush? What do you mean? Haven’t you two had enough fun? Why aren’t


    you getting the certificate as soon as you can? If I’ve identified the person that I want to be with for the


    rest of my life, I’d be excited to get the marriage certificate!”


    Corinne looked down and said bluntly, “A marriage certificate is just a piece of paper. Its purpose is to


    protect both parties’ assets and facilitate asset division during divorce. I don’t want his money, so


    there’s no point for me to get the certificate. Even if you get it early, it won’t be able to stop you if you


    one day decide to get a divorce! It’s unnecessary for those who are confident that they’ll remain with


    their partner for life.”


    “Wow! That makes sense!” Annie was stunned. She then had a look of admiration as she said, You’re


    such a sassy woman! I’m going to learn from you to be confident in my rtionships and walk away if I


    have to!”


    Corinne smiled, said nothing, and continued to eat.


    After listening to Corinne’s views on obtaining the certificate, Jeremy’splexion changed subtly. He


    narrowed his eyes, and his thoughts remained an enigma as he kept quiet and ced the ss down.


    The atmosphere started to get a little awkward.


    As dull as Annie was, she could sense that something was amiss. She looked at the silent Jeremy, and


    then at Corinne who ate quietly, and was puzzled. ‘Why are they so quiet now when they were so


    lovey-dovey with each other earlier?’


    Annie was particrly uneasy because of that awkward atmosphere, so she thought for a while and


    decided to strike up another conversation. “Ahem! Even if you don’t get a marriage certificate, you still


    need to take a set of wedding photos tomemorate your marriage!”
