Corinne stopped and turned. “Yes? Do you want another goodbye kiss?”


    Jeremy steered his wheelchair closer to her. “No.” “What is it, then? Come on, I don’t have all day.”


    Jeremy looked at her and asked, “Who was the man that you went to dinner with?”


    Corinne was stunned. She did not expect that he would stop her just to ask such a trivial question. “I


    had dinner with Aaron, Xante, Jason, and the kids. Apart from the kids, I don’t think you remember any


    of the other three.”


    Jeremy’s gaze rxed a little. “So it wasn’t just you and the man in the photo?”


    Corinne nodded. “No! Did you really think I was on a date?”


    Jeremy did not answer her; that was exactly what he thought.


    “Then who was the man in your photo?” “Jason Talbot. You two used to be friends.”


    Jeremy got a very bad vibe from the name alone. “Does he contact you often while I was missing in the


    past three years?”


    Corinne felt a little guilty. It was not that she had done anything wrong, but because it was inappropriate


    of her to have dinner with Jason despite knowing he had a crush on her. However, it was not like she


    did not try to get rid of him.


    He’d contact me from time to time,” replied Corinne, not hiding anything.


    Jeremy felt there was more to the story. “If he’s interested in you, you don’t “Shut up!” said Corinne


    angrily. She knew the nonsense he was going to say, so she stopped him. “How can you still think that


    when I’ve made it clear how I feel about you? Don’t you think I would’ve epted Jason if I’m


    interested in him? I wouldn’t have stayed with your family with the kids and waited for you toe


    home! Don’t me me for beating you up if you ever dare to push me into a rtionship with someone


    else!”


    Jeremy’s shock was overtaken by a smile. “You’ve misunderstood me. What I was going to say was, if


    he’s interested in you, you don’t have to force yourself to see him for my sake.”


    Corinne was embarrassed. “Oh… I see.”


    Jeremy smiled and said, “How could I bear to push you into a rtionship with someone else when you


    don’t mind me being disabled?”


    Corinne smiled back at him. “Sorry for jumping to conclusions.”


    Jeremy came closer to her and said, “If possible, I hope you’ll never meet that man alone again in the


    future.”


    Corinne frowned. “I’m afraid that’s going to be a bit difficult.”


    Jeremy’s eyebrows furrowed. “Why? I thought you were not interested in him?”


    Being a man himself, he knew how men think, so he was worried that Jason would try to take


    advantage of Corinne.


    “Holden Group will be working on a project with Talbot Group soon, so it’ll be impossible for me to have


    no contact with him. But don’t worry, I know where my boundaries are. I won’t meet up with him unless


    it’s necessary.”


    Jeremy nodded. “Okay.”


    Corinne saw his face had darkened again, so she held his face in both hands and kissed his cheek.


    “I’m very happy that you’re back, and you’re all I can think of. Please don’t leave me hanging again


    when I message you. Otherwise, I’ll worry that you’ll disappear again! Jeremy, I’m really scared. My


    heart won’t be able to take it if you disappear again. Promise me that you’ll reply to all my text


    messages, okay?”

    Jerem’s chest tightened. “I’m sorry. For misunderstanding you, that is.”


    Corinne straightened up and said, “Just don’t do it again! I can assure you that no man will get to me


    since I waited for you for three whole years. And even if you disappear with another woman again, I’ll


    still wait for you. After all, I’m not like you men. Haha!”
