Chapter 1390


    Lucas was genuinely impressed by Sunny’s resolution, which was very rare indeed.


    “Okay. You get yourself ready, then. I’ll arrange for your departure after Corinne gives birth to the baby.”


    “Okay. Thanks, Lucas!” said Sunny with a nod. He then went upstairs with a newfound kind of


    determination.


    ‘That kid is finally growing up,’ mused Lucas as he watched Sunny leave.


    …


    Corinne was in her room patting Joey to sleep. She would nce at her phone from time to time, even


    though she knew it would be impossible for Jeremy tond so soon.


    Somehow, she dozed off.


    When she woke up the next day, there was still no news from Jeremy. Thus, she spent the whole day


    distracted.


    It was not until evening that she received a call from Jeremy.


    “I’ve justnded. Have you eaten?” he asked.


    Corinne breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of Jeremy’s voice. “Yeah. All three meals. How about


    you?”


    Jeremy sounded like he was walking. “Yeah. I had airne food. It was disgusting, even though I was


    in first ss.”


    Corinne had waited for the whole day for him to call, yet she found herself with nothing to say to him.


    “I have to go now. Make sure you eat well these few days. I’ll bring you a gift when I’m back,” said


    Jeremy.


    Jeremy only called to tell her he hadnded safely. As much as he wanted to talk to her more, he knew


    he had more pressing matters toplete, and time was of the essence.


    “Wait!” shouted Corinne just as Jeremy was about to hang up.


    “What’s the matter? Do you still have something to say to me?” asked Jeremy coyly.


    Corinne cleared her throat. “Ahem! Do what you have to do, but don’t hang up the phone.”


    “Don’t hang up the phone? Are you that worried about me?” he teased.


    “Hmph! I just want to make sure you’re not lying to me. But you’re wee to hang up the phone if


    there’s something you don’t want me to hear. I just won’t call you back.”


    Jeremy smiled. “As if I’d ever dare to hang up on you. Fine, I won’t hang up the phone. I just hope you


    won’t find me annoying.”


    “I’ll try not to,” said Corinne haughtily. “Ahem! So are you going to Sophia’s house now?”


    Jeremy walked out of the airport, and Tommy opened the car door for him.


    “Yeah. Her house is a little far from the airport. I’m estimating that it’ll at least take three hours for me to


    get there,” said Jeremy softly as he got into the car.


    “Oh. You can take a nap in the car, then,” said Corinne.


    Jeremy turned on hisptop and clicked on the email he had just received while saying, “Nah. I’ve


    already slept on the ne.”


    Corinne’s lips twitched. ‘That means we have to talk for three hours? Well, that’s going to be


    awkward…’

    Not knowing what they could talk about, Corinne decided to y Jeremy a song on her music yer.


    “Mister, name a song.”


    “Why? Are you going to sing for me?” asked Jeremy happily.


    Corinne chuckled drily. “No. I’m going to y you a song. I never sing for free, and my fee is very


    expensive.”


    Jeremy raised an eyebrow. “How much for you to sing a song? I’ll see if I can afford it.”


    Corinne scoffed. “I’m not going to sing for you even if you have the money. The only way you can make


    me sing for you is when youe home and give me the money personally.”


    Jeremyughed and said jokingly, “You little gold-digger.”
