Chapter 780
Jeremy was crouching on the floor, which put him at an eye level slightly below Corinne’s. He looked up with widened eyes and
said resolutely, “No. Never.”
“But what if they threaten you?”
Jeremy chuckled softly. “No one in this world can threaten me except for you.”
Corinne pouted. “When did I ever threaten you? And you’re not lying to me, are you?”
Jeremy’s expression turned solemn. “To be honest, I wouldn’t have married you if I knew you were Luna Rivera, but now that I
have, I promise I’ll never let you go.”
Corinne was stunned by his love for her. The way he looked at her told her he only had eyes for her, and she suddenly got the
urge to kiss him gently on the eyes. However, she knew what would happen after that...so she cleared her throat and shook the
thought away.
“Ahem! Mister, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to take my shower now.”
“You’re tired, right? How about I help you wash up?” asked Jeremy gently.
Corinne frowned and looked at him suspiciously. “No, thanks! Don’t even think about it!”
She then ran as fast as she could to the bathroom.
Seeing this, Jeremy smiled. “Be careful! The floor is slippery inside!”
“Okay!” Not wanting to give him a chance to slip in, Corinne locked the door as soon as she went into the bathroom.
Jeremy looked out of the window at the night sky with a complicated look in his eyes.
The next morning, Corinne was woken up by the sound of her phone ringing. She groggily snaked her hand out from under the
blanket to take the call.
“Hello? Is this Corinne?” The voice belonged to a kindly old man.
“Yes. Who’s this?”
“Corinne! It’s me, Grandpa Cedric.”
‘Grandpa Cedric?’ She shook off her drowsiness. “Mister Lucas’ grandfather, Mister Cedric Rivera?”
“Yes, that’s right, but you don’t have to be a stranger. Just call me Grandpa Cedric,” said Cedric kindly.
Corinne was not fond of any members of the Rivera family, but out of politeness, she asked, How can I help you, Grandpa
Cedric?”
“Corinne, are you free to eat with me at my place today? I feel like I didn’t get to spend enough time with you yesterday, so
please come today if you have the time. I’d like to properly thank you for saving my life.”
“No, it’s okay, Grandpa Cedric. It was no trouble at all. In fact, I don’t think you were in any danger at all, so let’s just leave it at
that.”
“Oh, that’s where you’re wrong. Little do you know, I have high blood pressure and I would’ve died on the spot if you didn’t save
me from that stupid influencer. Please, Corinne-come by for a visit. I won’t be able to sleep tonight otherwise...”
“Grandpa Cedric... Is this a trick to get me to go on a blind date? I’m sorry, but I have a boyfriend and have no plans of replacing
him with anyone soon.”
