Chapter 887
Chester noticed Francine’s discomfort, so he walked over and gently comforted her before reaching out to take the rest of the
flyers from her. He could not bear to let her continue with the job.
However, Francine insisted on finishing what she started. She refused to let go of the flyers and boldly introduced Chester’s
tutoring service to the impatient parents before politely passing them the flyers.
Corinne raised her eyebrow when she saw this. “Hey, Mister, are you happy with the brother-in-law I picked for you?”
Jeremy was surprised to see his arrogant little sister willingly letting down her pride to help a poor guy pass out flyers. However,
the admiration on his face quickly disappeared when he remembered that poor. guy used to covet his wife.
“He’s okay,” he answered coldly.
“He’s the top student in his class, and both of his parents are intellectuals. Not only is he good-looking. but he’s humble too.
What’s rare about him is he never flirts around. I mean, where can you find someone like this nowadays?”
Jeremy frowned and narrowed his eyes at her. “It sounds like you know him very well. Could it be because you’ve had an interest
in him before?”
Corinne knew Jeremy was jealous again, so she tried to explain, “He’s the school’s hunk, so all the girls in our school would talk
about him often. I just happen to overhear them sometimes.”
Jeremy scowled and scoffed coldly. “If that kid is as good as you say he is, then he won’t fall for Francine at all.”
‘He’s right. A scholarly family wouldn’t be coerced by a wealthy family. The only good qualities Francine has are her looks and
her wealthy family. Other than that, she doesn’t have much going for her. Though, there’s a chance Jeremy is just jealous and
won’t admit just how excellent Chester is...”
Corinne did not say any of that out loud, of course. The two of them simply let Francine be and walked a little further from the
school to avoid bumping into her. However, what Corinne did not expect was that the city hall was located in front of the school.
She watched a couple who had just registered their marriage come out hand-in-hand. They radiated sheer joy as they discussed
where they should go to celebrate.
Seeing this brought back the memory of Jeremy’s vague, evasive attitude when Annie suggested he bring Corinne to register
their marriage in the city hall.
Frankly, she did not really care about that piece of marriage certificate as she knew that it would not be able to protect her
relationship with Jeremy from going sour or for him to suddenly treat her wrong. She only needed to look at what happened to
her mother’s broken marriage to know that. Thus, it did not make a big difference to her whether she got a marriage certificate or
not.
However, she could not help but feel a little peeved at Jeremy’s evasive attitude that day.
“Hey Mister, since we’re here, do you wanna go get the marriage certificate?” Corinne asked nonchalantly as though she was
just asking him whether he wanted to get some ice cream.
Jeremy was surprised. He looked toward the city hall for a second before turning to look back at her. Why the sudden urge to get
a marriage certificate?” His tone made it sound like she was asking for something unreasonable.
Corinne’s lips twitched slightly. “We might as well, since we’re here. What’s the matter? You don’t want to?”
Jeremy patted her head, “I didn’t bring the necessary documents today, so let’s do it another day.”
Corinne refused to give up that easily. She smiled and said, “You can ask Tommy to bring the documents over. Your office isn’t
that far from here, anyway.”
Jeremy pursed his lips and looked at her silently for a long while. His eyes darkened second by second, making it hard for
Corinne to know what he was thinking about.
Nonetheless, she was no fool-Jeremy’s silence was all the answer she needed.
