Chapter 1350


    Xante lowered the window to get some fresh air. “If you want to be in a rtionship, I can have fun with


    you for a while. If it’s marriage you want, you ought to be with someone else!”


    “I want to be with you!” Sunny said stubbornly. Women usually pushed for marriage because they


    feared that their boyfriend might change his mind or refuse to take responsibility for her, yet Sunny


    could not understand why Xante seemed to be acting more like a man.


    Xante said, “Marriage was never part of my ns. You chose the wrong person if you wanted to get


    married.”


    “Are you an example of someone who doesn’t believe in marriage?” Sunny frowned andpromised.


    “Fine, then. We’ll be in a rtionship with each other for the rest of our lives. Don’t even think of being


    with anyone else!”


    Xante looked at Sunny’s serious expression and said, “Don’t be naive!”


    “I’m serious, I—”


    Before Sunny could say anything, Xante put out her cigarette and got out of the car. Jeremy was


    already helping Corinne out of the police station.


    Sunny was frustrated that he could not finish his sentence, but he got out of the car anyway.


    Annie was the first to reach Jeremy and Corinne. “Uncle Jeremy! Aunt Corinne! I’m so d to see that


    you’re both okay!”

    Aaron walked over and asked Corinne worriedly, “How are you feeling, boss? Are you done giving your


    statement?”


    Corinne nodded. “Yes. It’s all done.”


    “Thank goodness it’s all done.” Aaron smiled in relief. “Will you be going home with us or Mister


    Jeremy?”


    Corinne was about to answer when Lucas got out of the car and walked over. “She wants to go home


    with me,” he said with conviction.


    When he arrived in front of Corinne, his expression became considerably gentler. “Are you tired,


    Corinne? Let’s go home and rest.”


    Corinne nodded at Lucas and walked toward him.


    Jeremy reached out and hugged her gently. He did not permit her to leave his side even by an inch. He


    raised his eyes and said to Lucas, “I’ll see her off.”


    Lucas ignored Jeremy and looked at Corinne to see if that was what she wanted.


    Corinne shook off Jeremy’s hand from her shoulders and refused. “You don’t need to trouble yourself.


    You would’ve been tired from trying to catch all the gangsters in the past two days, so you should go


    home and have some rest.”


    Jeremy sighed. His gentle tone had a hint of coaxing as he said, “I’m not tired. Let me see you off,


    okay?”


    Corinne answered him firmly, “Come meet me again when you solve that problem of yours. I won’t go


    with you until and unless everything is clear-cut.”


    She then walked toward Lucas and said, “Let’s go.”


    Lucas then helped her into the car.


    There was nothing Jeremy could do about it. He knew that he had no right to pester her until he solved


    the issue with Sophia. He turned to Lucas and said earnestly, “Thank you for taking care of her for me.”


    Lucas replied unceremoniously, “It’s my responsibility as a brother to take good care of her. I am more


    than happy to do my duty. Our family will no longer be able to tolerate you if you ever make her sad or


    put her in any form of danger.” Lucas then turned around and got into his car before driving away.
