Chapter 884
Although Chester started shy, he quickly opened up a little. After all, he was the studious school hunk,
so he had been to a lot of functions where it required him to put his best foot forward. He started to chat
endlessly to Corinne about the new things that happened in school recently; not those vulgar gossips
but some positive or hrious happenings instead.
To be honest, Corinne had no impression of the other students of different grades from her. She did not
know most of the people Chester was talking about, but the stories he told sounded interesting, so she
would ask him to borate more from time to time.
That was until a certain man pulled out a chair and sat next to her. He exuded such a strong cold aura
that it stopped Chester mid-sentence.
Chester stared in astonishment at the man who appeared out of the blue, and a chill ran up his spine
when he sensed the hostility washing over him. At first, he was puzzled as to who he was, but he
immediately remembered seeing this man at Corinne’s graduation ceremony before.
He remembered because the man sitting opposite him was the most good-looking man he ever met.
His temperament and aura were so outstanding that Chester could not help but be deeply impressed.
‘Corinne called him Mister that time, so he must be her uncle or something… Thus, out of his fondness
for Corinne and wanting to make a good impression, Chester stood up and greeted him politely, “Hello,
Sir!” The title only worsened Jeremy’s expression, and he was already a little worried about the nearly
ten-year age gap between him and Corinne. There were many instances when he did not understand
the ngs and jokes Corinne slipped in their day-to-day conversations and would often have to look up
the meaning. on his phone.
Their generational gap was not really that big, but it could not be said to be nonexistent as well. The
fact that Chester called him ‘sir’ only served to highlight the ten-year age gap between them.
Seeing as he did not get a response from Jeremy, Chester started to wonder if he did wrong. “Sir, on
behalf of everyone in my school, I’d like to thank you for donating the funds needed to build the Corinne
Building. It has just finished building, and I’m sure it’ll help further education for many more students to
come!”

Silently, Jeremy expressionlessly took a sip of Corinne’s water.
Seeing this, Chester frowned. ‘I know they’re family, but it’s still inappropriate to share a ss of water,
no?
Francine saw the anger on Jeremy’s face and was afraid that her crush would say something else to
make him even angrier, which would not end well for anyone, so she quickly said, “Chester, meet my…
brother…”
Chester did a double take. “Oh! Uh… I thought he was Corinne’s uncle… So you’re all each other’s
rtives?
Before Francine could speak, Corinne answered him, “No, he’s my husband.”
Chester’s pupils shrank. The reveal was like a sudden bolt, and it took him a long while to recover from
the shock.
Meanwhile, Jeremy’s rigid expression eased a great deal when he heard Corinne calling him her
husband. He turned and beamed at Corinne happily.
Chester found it difficult to ept the news; he even thought Corinne was joking. After all, Corinne and
Jeremy did not seem like they would be in the same school year.
“But…didn’t you attend Corinne’s graduation ceremony as her parent?” he asked.
Jeremy nced sharply at Chester. “And who says a husband cannot be considered as a
representative?”
Chester was dumbfounded, but then a frown appeared on his head.
Corinne had ordered Jeremy’s food with Chester’s order back when she called for the waiter. After all,
she received a text from Jeremy asking her whether she was done shopping as soon as she sat in the
restaurant.
Her reply to him was simply the restaurant’s address since she knew he woulde. Jeremy asked
her if she was done shopping and not what she was doing. Obviously, their driver had reported to him
their schedule for the day, which did not surprise her.
