Jason knew Corinne would not be texting him after she got home based on her response. Thus, he


    sighed and smiled helplessly as he watched her and the kids get into the car and leave.


    After the car drove off, Aaron put his arm around Jason’s shoulder and said, ‘Come on, Mister Jason.


    I’ll drop you off wherever you want.”


    Jason snapped out of his thoughts with a smile and said, “Sorry. I didn’t mean to be a third wheel


    between you and Annie.”


    Aaron turned his head to look at Annie, who was already sitting in the passenger seat with a blushing


    face. The smile on his lips grew a little wider.


    Corinne returned home with the kids, and Pam was waiting for them in the living room.


    “Corinne, why are you back sote today? Dinner has gone cold! I’ll ask the kitchen to reheat the food.


    Get the kids to wash their hands ande to the table!” said Pam.


    Francine was also at home, so she came over to help Corinne take care of the kids.


    “Grandma, go ahead without me. I’ll eatter. Francine, help me look after the kids while they have


    dinner. I have something urgent I need to do in my room.”


    Francine nodded. “Sure thing.” Corinne had taught the kids well. Even though they were already full,


    they still followed Francine to the dining room to eat dinner again with their great grandparents.


    Corinne hurried upstairs.

    Pam could not help but worry when she saw Corinne rushing up to her room like that. “What’s got


    into that girltely? She looks like her mind is somewhere else all the time.”


    Francine also looked up at Corinne. She thenforted Pam, “It must be because work is busy. But


    I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about!


    Corinne’s an amazing woman who can handle anything.” “Sigh! Pity the girl, having so much on her


    te,” said Pam sadly.


    After returning to her room, Corinne immediately took off her restrictive work clothes,yzily on the


    bed, took out her phone, and scrolled through the messages.


    ‘Why hasn’t he replied to me yet?!’ she thought with annoyance.


    Frankly, she had nothing urgent going on. She was just upset and wanted to go upstairs and be alone


    for a while.


    When she received no reply from Jeremy, she threw her phone aside sullenly, got up, and went to the


    bathroom to take a shower.


    Meanwhile, at the hotel.


    Jeremy was prepared to go back to his bedroom to rest after having dinner with Bryan and Sophia.


    However, Sophia wanted him to stay for a while longer. She still did not have enough of him. After all,


    she was still immersed in the joy of having been defended by him, which happened so rarely.


    “Zachary, it’s still early! It’s only eight o’clock. You won’t be able to sleep if you go back to the room so


    early. Stay and talk with me for a while!”


    Jeremy obviously looked tired. “I’m feeling more tired than usual today and want to go to bed early. We


    can talk in the morning.”


    Since Jeremy already said so, Sophia thought she should not push her luck.


    “Okay. By the way, my dad ising to see US in two days, and he’ll probably stay in this hotel too.


    When he’s here, we won’t be able to sleep in separate rooms anymore. I understand your reason for


    wanting to sleep in separate rooms, but my dad certainly can’t. He’ll definitely get mad at you if he finds


    out we’re sleeping in separate rooms.”


    Jeremy paused for a moment, then responded without looking back, “Okay, I understand. I will


    cooperate with you when the timees.”


    Sophia smiled. “d to hear that! Good night, then!”


    Without once looking back at her, Jeremy took Bryan back to the room and closed the door.


    His eyes darkened the moment he was inside his room. ‘Adam’sing.


    That means I won’t be able to find time to do my rehabilitation exercises.’
