Chapter 1100


    Joey’s legs dangled helplessly in the air. He looked at Corinne with big sad puppy eyes while crying,


    “Sissy… Sissy!’


    Jeremy frowned. He took a deep breath and said nothing else, but this just made Joey even more


    frightened.


    There was nearly a ten-year age difference between Jeremy and Corinne. Joey calling her ‘Sissy’ only


    served to highlight the generational gap between them.


    Seeing this, Corinne quickly took Joey from Jeremy. “What are you doing? You’re scaring him!”


    “Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for him to call you ‘Sissy?” asked Jeremy with a hardened


    expression.


    Corinne rolled her eyes at him turning back to Joey. “Don’t mind him, Joey. You can call me anything


    you want. Sissy or Auntie doesn’t make a difference to me,” she said while stroking his head.


    Hearing this, Joey visibly rxed. He nodded docilely and snuggled into Corinne’s shoulder.


    As much as he was unhappy with Joey calling Corinne ‘Sissy’, Jeremy could not help but soften when


    he saw Corinne showering Joey with love. He lifted her chin and asked, “Little rascal, you’re really


    willing to ept this child?”


    Corinne scoffed. “You make it sound like I have a choice. I might not have the experience of being a


    stepmother, but what I’m good at is learning. In any case, it’s better than leaving him with Miss

    Jeremy looked at her admiringly before kissing her forehead. “Thank you.”


    ‘What is he thanking me for?’ wondered Corinne. She did not feel like she had done anything worthy of


    being thanked, so the kiss caught her off-guard.


    “Anyway, I’m going to bring Joey down for breakfast now. Come join us after you’ve changed.”


    After that, she—with a poker face—left the room with Joey.


    Jeremy narrowed his eyes as he watched them leave. ‘Why do I get the sense she doesn’t want me


    anywhere near her?’


    …


    Corinne exhaled softly the moment she was out of the room. She nearly caved in to Jeremy’s


    gentleness, but she was d she held her ground. ‘I’m not going to let him off the hook so easily!’ she


    swore to herself.


    Joey looked at her curiously. ‘Auntie Sissy… Dada likes you?”


    ‘Auntie Sissy? Well, that’s new. But…’ Corinne looked at Joey a little embarrassedly. “Joey, do you


    know what it means to like someone?”


    Joey nodded seriously and tried to exin what he knew with his limited vocabry, “It means…kissy


    kissy…”


    Corinne was speechless. ‘That’s right… He was there when Jeremy kissed my forehead.’


    She did not know how to exin such aplicated topic to Joey.


    Joey blinked again, but this time in dismay. “Dada… No like… Mama… Dada no kiss Mama… Mama


    angry… Hit Joey…”This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Corinne’s heart ached at this. Joey was of course talking about Anya. ‘Poor kid. Anya must’ve taken


    her anger out on him every time she failed to get Jeremy’s attention.’
