Chapter 1476


    Jeremy only looked away from Corinne after she went back inside her private booth. He looked down


    at the boy who looked exactly like his son, and when he saw the fear in the boy’s face, he thought, ‘He


    seems like he’s really scared of being found by that woman.’


    He put his hand on Bryan’s head and said, “Come now. Let’s go inside.”


    Bryan snapped out of his trance and went inside the private booth with Jeremy.


    Sophia could not help but worry that Jeremy had seen Corinne since it was not that long ago that


    Corinne left.


    “Zachary, what took you and Benjamin so long?*’ she asked with an unnatural smile on her face.


    In contrast to her, Jeremy’s expression remained impassive.


    “Benjamin was experiencing some minor diarrhea, so I waited for him to be done. By the way, who was


    that?” he asked naturally as though they were just having a casual conversation.


    Beats me. She was just some random woman who thought this was her private booth,” replied Sophia


    as naturally as she could while staring at Jeremy’s reaction. 1


    ‘So he did see Corinne after all… But judging from his reaction, he doesn’t seem like he remembers


    who she is,’ she thought. 1


    “I see,” came Jeremy’s simple reply. It was as if he was not curious about anything at all.


    Still worried, Sophia probed him by asking, “Are you asking because you think she’s pretty? Did she


    see you too?”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ‘No. I only saw her back as she walked out of here, to be honest. Is she pretty? How pretty?” replied


    Jeremy disinterestedly.


    Sophia felt better after she saw no signs of Jeremy having recognized Corinne.


    ‘Corinne must’ve taken the other way round, so she didn’t see Jeremy after all. If not, knowing her, she


    would’ve stopped him to ask him whether he was Jeremy,’ she thought.


    The more she thought about it, the more she shuddered at how close her lies could have been


    exposed.


    ‘I need to settle all my business affairs as quickly as possible to prevent the same thing from happening


    again,’ she told herself. ‘I can’t let Corinne see Jeremy… But what am I going to do when the auction


    finishes and she insists on talking about the bid with the person in charge?’


    Sophia decided to promptly leave. Smiling, she said, “Zachary, since Dad is happy with the price the


    piece ofnd sold for, there’s nothing else for US to do here anymore. Let’s head back.”


    Jeremy simply nodded expressionlessly at her suggestion.


    Sophia walked over and picked up the boy standing beside Jeremy. “Let’s go, Benjamin. We’re going


    back to the hotel now.”


    To her surprise, ‘Benjamin’ pushed her away. He did not like her one bit, so he did not want to be


    carried by her. “I don’t want you to carry me! I can walk by myself!”


    ‘What’s the matter with this kid? When did he be so temperamental?’ thought Sophia with a


    frown. ‘One second, he’s running out to apologize to me, and the next he won’t let me touch him? Ugh,


    forget it. Now’s not the time to think about all this. We need to leave before Corinne sees us!’


    “Okay, Benjamin. You can walk by yourself. Mommy will wheel Daddy out, then.”


    Sophia walked over to Jeremy and wheeled him out of the room.


    Jeremy’s expression remained impassive. As always, he let Sophia wheel him out without saying


    anything.


    “You’re not my Mommy,” muttered Bryan under his breath.
