Chapter 771
“If you need help in the future, you should come to me instead of Jeremy. I’m sure you wouldn’t like someone else being intimate
with your husband too, would you, Miss Anya?” asked Corinne lightly.
It was hard to find fault in Corinne’s words.
She then lifted Anya’s hand and put the bracelet back on her wrist. “So that settles it then, right? You’ll come to me if you need
any help. Us girls should stick to each other instead of letting a man come between us.”
Anya knew letting Corinne put the bracelet back on her was as good as agreeing to her arrangement.” Why, this sneaky little
b*tch! Not only did she cut off all possible reasons for me to contact Jeremy, but she makes herself look like the good guy, too!”
Corinne was exhausted by then, so after helping Anya put her bracelet back on, she stretched her arms and yawned sleepily.
“Let’s go, Mister. I can’t wait to go home and sleep!”
“Okay,” said Jeremy, having smiled throughout the squabble between Corinne and Anya. ‘Goodness, she looks cute even when
she’s being fierce!’ he thought.
In all of his 30 years of being alive, this was the first time someone had ever stood up for him. He was impressed by the way
Corinne used logic to protect his interest and also touched by how possessive she was of him. He had to admit, he enjoyed the
whole show, and that was why he did not interrupt her. Jeremy saw no flaw in Corinne’s reasoning and arrangement. Before he
left the party, he said to Anya, Miss Anya, I’m a married man now, so it’s best if we don’t have any private contact with each other
anymore. But don’t worry. I’ll hire the best nanny in the world to take care of Joey. You can come to my wife if you’re ever
troubled. She and Tommy will work together to help you. And if they can’t help you, I’m sure my wife will pass on the message to
me then.”
At that moment, all the guests could swear they heard Anya’s heart breaking into a million pieces.” Jeremy, wait... Don’t go...”
Jeremy ignored Anya, trotted to Corinne, and grabbed her hand gently.
Zeke and Gerald watched Jeremy and Corinne leave before turning to look at Anya, who was rooted awkwardly to her spot. The
two friends exchanged glances with each other and came to a tacit understanding not to involve themselves in Jeremy’s love life.
“Gerald, Jason, let’s go drink a few more glasses now that hen-pecked Jeremy is gone,” said Zeke with an awkward smile.
Jason looked away from Corinne’s back, smiled, and nodded. He then turned around to go back to the table with Gerald and
Jason.
“Jason!” Anya suddenly called him.
He stopped walking. “Yes, Anya?”
“Can we have a word in private? I have something to tell you,” replied Anya seriously.
Jason furrowed his brow in confusion before nodding. “Sure.”
The two of them came to the balcony.
“What’s the matter, Anya? What did you want to tell me?” asked Jason.
