Jeremy could not offer up a retort. ‘I didn’t disappear with another woman… I was kidnapped and
brainwashed.’ Corinne was about to leave. However, the moment she put her hand on the door handle,
she heard a woman’s voiceing from the other side of the door.
Sophia entered the room and asked, Benjamin, why are you standing at the bathroom door? Where’s
your daddy?” “Uh… Daddy… Daddy’s taking a bath!”
said Bryan awkwardly.
Then what are you doing standing at the door? You should be helping him! You know how hard it’s for
Daddy to get out of the bathtub by himself!” lectured
Sophia.
Bryan blinked and said, “Daddy said he didn’t need my help and asked me toe out! I’m standing
here because I want to get in quickly if Daddy calls for my help!”
Sophia sensed something was off. She ignored Bryan and walked over to knock on the bathroom door.
“Zachary, are you taking a bath?”
Corinne had quietly hidden in the corner behind the bathroom door where she would not be seen by
Sophia should the womane in.
The bathroom door was not locked since it would arouse Sophia’s suspicion if it was. They could only
bet that she would not open the door.
There was no window in the bathroom, so the only way Corinne could leave was through the door.
Jeremy and Corinne exchanged nces. He then answered in an unusually calm voice, “Yeah. What’s
up?” “It’s nothing important. But I bought you a new set of pajamas when I went out a few days ago. I
kept forgetting to give it to you, so I thought I’d give it to you now. You can wear it to sleep tonight,” said
Sophia from the other side of the door.
“Thank you. You can just put it on the bed. I’ll put it in the room after I’m done with my bath.”
Sophia turned the door handle. “Why don’t I just bring it in for you? That way, you can put it on right
after your bath.”
Jeremy immediately said in a deep voice, “No! Don’te in. I’m naked.”
Sophia stopped turning the door handle. “Zachary, we’re married! I’m just going to drop the pajamas off
an-” “I like to be alone while I’m taking a bath. Do you really have toe in and disturb me at this
time?” argued Jeremy.
‘How am I disturbing him when I’m just going to drop off the pajamas?’ thought Sophia. As upset as
she was, she respected Jeremy’s wish.
Bryan crossed his arms and said to Sophia, “Daddy already told you not to go in, so don’t! Otherwise,
you’ll upset him even more.”
Sophia looked down at Bryan and recalled how Jeremy took her side over the little boys. After thinking
about it, she decided not to risk upsetting Jeremy.
Otherwise, all of the hard-won progress between them would end up in vain.
Thus, she took her hand away from the door handle. “Okay, Zachary. I’ll put the pajamas on your bed.
Remember to put them on when youe out of the bath.” “Okay.”
Sophia turned around and put down the pajamas on the bed. She then stared at the bathroom door
thoughtfully before going out of the room.
Bryan sighed in relief when he saw Sophia walking out. ‘That was close! She almost found out about
Mommy!’ he thought.
Corinne and Jeremy, too, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were safe.
Corinne nced at Jeremy. “She’s actually quite good to you. Does she buy you underwear as well?”
Jeremy looked at her quietly. “I won’t wear the pajamas if you don’t want me to.”

Corinne did not want him to, but she was not so willful that she would risk them getting exposed.
“Forget it. Just wear it! If you don’t wear it, she will be suspicious again! I’m leaving now. Bye!”
