Chapter 1295


    Sophia sounded a little anxious. “Why can’t I get through to Jeremy’s phone? Is he home yet?”


    “Yes,” Tommy replied, “he’s resting.”


    Sophia doubted that answer, so she asked, “Is he? Why can’t I get through to his cell phone?”


    Tommy answered ording to Jeremy’s request. “Perhaps his cell phone ran out of battery and was


    switched off. Don’t worry, Miss Sophia. He’s fine.”


    “That’s good to know. I’ll try his phone again tomorrow morning.”


    After hanging up, Tommy turned around and said, “It’s done.”


    “Good,” came Jeremy’s absent-minded reply.

    Tommy thought for a while before asking, “It appears that Corinne is at the Riveras. Shall I arrange for


    someone to pick her up?”


    Jeremy narrowed his eyes and looked at the soundly sleeping girl. “It’s fine. She’s safe there.”


    He could tell from the video that she was not at her previous ce. She was still not keen on going


    home with him, but he could feel somewhat reassured as her brother Lucas would be taking care of


    her.


    Jeremy returned to the Holdens and saw Pam sitting in the living room with a worried expression.


    He took off his coat and walked over. “Why aren’t you asleep yet, Grandma?”


    Pam snapped back to her senses. She looked at her grandson and caught a whiff of alcohol on him.


    “Were you drinking again, Jeremy?”


    “I had two drinks,” Jeremy answered truthfully and ced his coat on the sofa. He sat down on the


    single-seater sofa and asked, “Why are you up sote? Is something on your mind?”


    Pam frowned and looked at him. “I heard you went to Sophia’s birthday party today.”


    Jeremy nodded slightly. “I was there to keep up appearances.”


    “When do you n on bringing Corinne back?”


    Jeremy knew Pam was restless as she was worried about Corinne. Heforted her calmly and


    said, “It’s not the right time yet. She’s safe now, so don’t worry too much about her.”


    Pam frowned. “How do you expect me not to worry? The thought of Corinne being all alone outside


    with her growing fetus makes it difficult for me to sleep!”


    “She’s not alone now. Someone else is taking good care of her.”


    “And who might that ‘someone’ be? This is your responsibility as her husband! How could you let


    someone else take care of her?”


    Jeremy’s expression sank a little. As much as he wanted to take care of her, she avoided him like the


    gue whenever he tried to get close to her. He could not provoke her much either. If he were to bring


    her back by force, she might kick up a huge fuss!


    Jeremy looked at Pam earnestly. “I promise she’ll be fine, and I assure you that I’ll bring her back.


    Don’t think too much about it. Go to bed and get some rest.”


    Pam sighed. “I know that Sophia’s family has helped the Holdens a lot, but you should know better


    than to let her be around you like that. Return their favor, and solve all these issues as soon as you


    can. Draw a clear line between yourself and Sophia! That way, Corinne will be willing toe home,


    and she won’t misunderstand you again!”


    Jeremy nodded. “Okay.”


    When Pam saw that her grandson was listening to her, she did not lecture him any further and got


    up. She then asked the maid to help her back to her room. After the olddy returned to the room,


    Jeremy leaned his head back on the sofa and massaged his eyebrows.


    All of a sudden, a movement in one corner caught his eye. Jeremy’s gaze sharpened, and he asked,


    “Who’s there? Show yourself!”
