"Really, Daddy? We''re really going to live with Mommy Corinne?" asked Benjamin happily.
"Yes, we are," answered Jeremy while looking at his son gently and firmly.
At that moment, Benjamin blinked and narrowed his eyes as he looked at a point somewhere far ahead. He then blinked again.
"Daddy, I think I''m seeing things. I must be missing Mommy Corinne so much that I''m seeing her here!"
Jeremy was a little taken aback by what Benjamin said. He turned to where the little boy was looking in disbelief, and his pupils immediately shrank when he saw Corinne. Benjamin was not seeing things at all! It was indeed Corinne. She stood a little further than them as she talked to a man. Judging by their gesture, they looked to be really close.
Having regained his memory, Jeremy could recognize the man to be Jason Talbot. He knew Jason had a crush on Corinne for the longest time, so he simply assumed the other man was trying to get into her pants again.
Jeremy''s eyes immediately turned cold, so cold that he could have shot out ice beams if he wanted.
"Zachary, Benjamin, what are you two looking at? Do you want some water?"
Sophia passed them a bottle of mineral water each.
Jeremy immediately looked away from Corinne and went back to normal the moment he heard Sophia''s voice. He took the bottle of mineral water from her, twisted open the cap, and gulped down the content with his head thrown back.
"Thanks, Sophia."
Sophia smiled and twisted open the cap of the other bottle of mineral water in her hand. "Here, Benjamin. Drink some water."
Benjamin was still staring at Corinne when he was interrupted by Sophia. "I don''t want to drink water! Get lost!" he said angrily.
''Why, this ungrateful little brat!'' thought Sophia.
"Benjamin, I just want you to drink a little water. You''re going to get sick if you don''t stay hydrated," said Sophia, putting on the good motherly act in front of Jeremy.
Benjamin did not appreciate her gesture. He lifted his chin and scoffed. "Leave me alone! I said I don''t want to drink any water!"
"What''s the matter with this child?" Sophia looked helplessly at Jeremy. "Zachary, look at how he''s behaving..."
"Leave him alone. You should drink the water yourself," replied Jeremy.
Sophia thought Jeremy would lecture Benjamin, yet all he did was dismiss her. As upset as she was, she decided to swallow her pride and settle the score with Benjaminter. She was looking around at the beautiful view when she happened to see Corinne from the corner of her eyes, causing her to nearly spit out her water.
''What is she doing here? What rotten luck this is! Sh*t! Seeing Corinne might just trigger Zachary''s memory!'' thought Sophia.
She quickly checked his reaction.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
He was absent-mindedly taking in the view, and his gaze did not even stop for a second when he saw Corinne. He did not seem like he had any special feelings toward her.
Sophia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. ''Zachary probably doesn''t remember anything about Corinne, but she might steal him away if she sees him! She has always been a violent one.'' Thus, she quickly wheeled Jeremy away, but it was already toote.
