    "Yeah?"


    Jeremy lifted her chin and kissed her violently without warning!


    "Mmph!" Corinne''s eyes widened slightly, and she was taken aback by his sudden kiss. She could


    not push him away even when she pressed her hands against his chest, so she stopped struggling


    altogether.


    Jeremy took a while to break free from the kiss. When he finally did, Corinne took a breather.


    Jeremy calmed himself, gasped slightly, and said to her, "I''ll probably be very busy for quite some


    time, and I need to travel both within the country and abroad too. I won''t be able to spend a lot of


    time with you every day."


    The blush on Corinne''s face faded. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you have some


    overseas business to deal with?"


    The man nodded. "Yes. I''ll try my best to keep youpany at home if I have the time."


    Corinne thought for a while and suggested, "Where will you be going? Perhaps I can go with you?"


    Jeremy''s eyes lit up, and he seemed to be very happy. "Well, aren''t you clingy?"


    Corinne frowned and rolled her eyes at him. "I''m pretty free these days anyway, so I''ll just treat it as


    a holiday!"


    Jeremy smiled. He ced his palm on her head and rubbed gently. "Stay at home and take good


    care of your baby, okay? I''lle back to keep youpany when I can."


    Corinne was a little taken aback. She did not say any further and merely nodded. "Okay." Silently,


    however, she wondered, ''Is he stopping me from going with him because he thinks I''m a burden?''


    20 minutester, the car stopped at the door of the Holdens'' estate.


    Jeremy caressed Corinne''s head again and said, "I''ll be dropping you off now. Remember to eat


    your meals. I need to go to thepany now, but I''ll be back to keep youpanyter tonight."


    Jeremy probably had a lot of things to deal with since the Holdens'' stock value had not recovered


    fully. Corinne understood he would be busy, so she got out of the car obediently. After waving him


    goodbye, she turned and walked toward the gate.


    Jeremy waited until she reached the gate before nodding at the driver and signaling to drive away.


    Corinne was just about to enter the password for the gate when her phone rang. Pulling out her


    phone, she noticed it was an unknown number.


    As soon as she answered the call, the caller called out her name in a rather unhappy tone.


    "Corinne!"


    "Who are you?" Corinne asked.


    The caller replied, "Take three steps back, and you''ll see me."


    Corinne turned and looked behind her. There was no one there. She looked left and right too, but


    she spotted no one.


    "Sorry, but I have no time to entertain your pointless games," she said, stretching her finger across


    the screen to end the call.


    The caller seemed to know Corinne was going to hang up and immediately stopped her. "Wait!


    Don''t hang up!"
