Jeremy paused in his bed andposed himself before saying calmly, "Can you please close the window? The night air is quite cold, and I don''t want Benjamin catching a cold." After a while, the shadowy figure that sat on the chair got up, walked over to the window to close it, and walked back to sit on the chair again.
Jeremy had no idea how long the shadowy figure had been sitting there, but after catching a glimpse of her silhouette and long hair, he was sure she was a woman.
The room started to warm a bit.
Jeremy remained leaning against the headboard. He turned to look at the sleeping ''Benjamin'' and pulled up his nket. He then looked at the shadowy figure.
"Correct me if I''m wrong, but you must be the Corinne Carew I''ve heard so much about."
''He heard so much about, huh?'' Corinne remained calmly seated on her chair, despite being chilled to the bone.
She scoffed and said, "Huh. Even though you''ve lost your memory, you''re still as unppable as ever. You''d even ask an invader to help you close the window?"
"I don''t have a choice. I would''ve closed the window myself if it were not for my useless legs."
Corinne stared at him through the darkness. Even though she could not see his face clearly, the pain still cut across her heart.
"Aren''t you curious why I''vee here?" she asked him.
Jeremy pursed his lips before breaking out in a half-hearted smile. "Nope. But you shouldn''t havee."
Corinne fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, she stood up and walked toward Jeremy slowly and emotionlessly.
She then grabbed and squeezed his throat without warning.
"How I wish I could strangle you to death for your nonchnce."
Jeremy was forced to look at her. He saw her face clearly this time and thought she looked slightly familiar. s, it was not enough to know who she was.
However, what really caught him by surprise was her reddened, hate-filled eyes.
Even though Jeremy could not breathe, he did not fight back or make a sound. He simply let her do whatever she wanted with him.
In the end, Corinne let him go.
"You b*stard. I shouldn''t have trusted you," she cursed through gritted teeth.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
Jeremy clutched his chest and gasped for breath. After catching his breath, he chuckled softly. "Sorry, I don''t remember anything from the past nor do I remember you. I can''t go into the specifics of what I''m apologizing for. The only thing I can do is apologize."
Corinne scoffed. "Even if you remember the past, you wouldn''t think you have anything to apologize for either. After all, you never kept a promise to me in your life. That was how shameless you were before." Jeremy raised an eyebrow. "Yet you still had kids with me."
Corinne''s expression darkened. "You think I had a choice? Those kids were an ident. I had no interest in an older man like you at all."
Jeremy fixed his gaze on her. "Then what made you change your mind?"
Corinne was speechless.
Jeremy smiled. "There''s no point talking about all this now nor is it the time to ask me to pay for what I did wrong in the past. Please go back before Sophia finds you here. Otherwise, she''ll immediately take Benjamin and me back to Molomia. You won''t be able to find me anymore when that happens."
Corinneposed herself. She nced at ''Benjamin'', who was still sleeping soundly.
"Why aren''t you and Sophia sleeping in the same room?" she asked.
"Do you want me to sleep in the same room as her?" asked Jeremy.
