    Chapter 906


    Corinne heard what Greg said, but she remained impassive. Instead, she smiled and answered, “I went


    to look for a friend. Sorry, Grandma. I didn’t know you and Grandpa would being home today. I


    would’ve stayed home and waited for you.”


    Pam shook her head. “It’s okay, Corinne. It was ast-minute decision, so it was our fault for not


    informing you sooner. Even


    Jeremy has no idea we’re here. By the way, you must be tired from your little outing. Why don’t you go


    up and have a good rest?


    I’ll cook something for you and Jeremy once he’s back.’


    Corinne nodded. “Alright. Thanks, Grandma.”


    She was indeed tired. Her energy level had been on the decline ever since she got pregnant, which


    was why she was happy to


    take up Pam on her suggestion. The thought of staying downstairs to talk with Pam did enter


    Corinne’s mind, but she had


    a feeling Pam did not want her to do that.


    Midway up the stairs, Corinne looked back at them and saw Pam walking over to Greg with a frown


    and lightly hitting him on


    the arm. The elderly woman then bent and whispered something to him. It seemed like she was telling


    him to be careful in


    choosing his words.


    Corinne’s eyes dimmed a little. She looked away and made her way into her room. ‘So things aren’t as


    simple as they seem in


    this family. Maybe that’s why Jeremy doesn’t want to register our marriage yet.’


    She was immediately ovee by exhaustion once she was back in her room. However, she could not


    sleep no matter how she


    tossed and turned.


    After a while, the door swung open, and in walked Jeremy.


    Seeing her eyes shut, Jeremy walked over to the bed and pulled the nket over her. The sound of the


    movement caused her to open her eyes.

    Jeremy was a little surprised when she woke up. He sat on the bed and asked gently, “Did I wake


    you?”


    Corinne looked him straight in the eyes. ‘I wasn’t sleeping.”


    Jeremy stroked her cheek lightly. “Then why did you keep your eyes closed? Were you pretending to


    be asleep?’


    Corinne frowned. “No. I wanted to sleep but couldn’t.”


    “What’s the matter? Are you sick?”


    Corinne found it ufortable to talk while lying down, so she sat up. “No. It’s probably ’cause I slept


    too muchst night.”


    Jeremy was relieved to hear that. “Where did you go today?” he asked.


    “Nowhere.”


    Jeremy frowned. “I know you went out, so why won’t you tell me where?”


    Corinne looked into his eyes. “Must I tell you where I go every time? It’s not like you’ve ever reported to


    me about your


    whereabouts!”


    Jeremy was a little taken aback, but he suddenly smiled. “Well, do you want me to do that?’


    “No. I don’t have that kind of interest,” deadpanned Corinne.


    Jeremy narrowed his eyes. He could sense something was off about Corinne. “Are you in a bad mood?


    Why are you talking to


    me like that?’


    Corinne was indeed in a bad mood. She focused her gaze on him, and after a minute of silence, she


    uttered, “Jeremy Holden.”


    Jeremy’s eyes narrowed. ‘This is the first time she called me by my full name. This can’t be good.’
