'Honeymoon?' Jeremy narrowed his eyes subtly. He never once considered that his marriage to Corinne would require a honeymoon.Sunny muttered discontentedly on one side, "You're overthinking things! Jeremy and Corinne won't last long anyway, so there's no need for a honeymoon! He'll be going on a honeymoon with my sister in the future, anyway.""You don't understand a thing at all!" Zeke had a sly look as he raised his eyebrows to look at his brooding friend on the office chair. "So… Are you going, Jeremy?"Jeremy flipped to another page of the document and said while reading it, "She's tired today, so we won't be going over today. I'll bring her along and meet up with you guys early tomorrow morning."Zeke snapped his fingers and said, "It's settled, then!"He then gracefully placed his hands into his pockets and turned to leave.When he saw Sunny standing still, Zeke paused and raised his hand to pat the young man on the shoulder. "What are you still doing here, Sunny? Come wit
Jeremy had a straight face as he turned around and went to get the bacon from the refrigerator. Inside the kitchen, the two of them silently did their respective tasks without talking to each other. Jeremy's gaze was constantly transfixed on the petite girl beside him as he chopped the bacon.The mac and cheese with crispy bacon were finished in mere minutes, and Corinne said to Jeremy, "You can bring the bowls to the dining table now. I'll head to the bathroom for a bit!"Jeremy had no objection as he picked up the two bowls and walked out of the kitchen.At that moment, Bowen the butler came in from the outside and was terrified to see Jeremy bringing the bowls to the table. He looked all around and saw that no servants were waiting on duty. They had sneaked off somewhere and neglected their duties just because Jeremy was not there!"Sir! When did you return? Please allow me to help you! You shan't be allowed to do these things!"Jeremy glanced at Bowen but did not hand over the
Jeremy drew out a piece of tissue and passed it to Corinne. He later then lectured her helplessly and strictly like he was her parent. "Slow down. No one is going to take the food from you."It took Corinne a hard time to bite and swallow the meat in her mouth. She accepted the tissue, wiped her mouth, and looked to the side embarrassingly so she did not need to look at him. "Mister, can you stop talking about last night?""Why?" Jeremy raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were teasing her. "Is Miss Corinne feeling shy?"Corinne's mouth twitched and said angrily, "I'm not shy! I just find it unbearable to recall!"Unbearable to recall?Jeremy's eyes looked sullen as he stared at her for two seconds before curling the corner of his lips and teasing her. "Oh, come on, you sacrificed your body just to save someone's life and have done a good deed! It should be very memorable for you."It sounded so lame and awkward that Corinne's cheeks blushed like a red rose, and her eyes were waveri
Jeremy reckoned Corinne was asleep, and she would surely wake if he entered, which was unnecessary.He pinched his glabella and went back to rest in the study with a gloomy face.…The next morning.Corinne woke up early and freshened up. Groggily, she put on her clothes and went downstairs with Jeremy as they left the house.In the car, she tilted her head to the side and started sleeping again, especially when she thought there was nothing she and Jeremy could talk about.It took them more than two hours to reach Castle Horse Ranch.As soon as she got out of the car, someone came running and leaping at her."Co—rin—ne!"Corinne's drowsiness vanished when Annie glomped on her tightly."Corinne! I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much!"Corinne smiled helplessly. "Yeah… It has been a long time!"Annie wrapped her arms around Corinne's neck as though wanting to glue herself to her.Jeremy looked at Annie with a displeased expression and said sternly, "Go aw
Zeke looked at Sunny and teased him. "Hey, Sunny, did you hear that? Jeremy is asking you to treat us again."Sunny looked so focused staring at Corinne that he was startled when he heard Zeke calling him. Sheepishly, he said, "Um… My brother suspended my car, and I spent all of my money on last night's dinner. I don't have any money left on me, so I can't treat tonight…"Jeremy looked indifferent and raised his chin. "It's alright. It's on her tonight."Who?When Corinne realized Jeremy was talking about her, her cheeks puffed like balloons as she furrowed her eyebrows.So weird! Why should she treat them to dinner? She did not know them nor was she close to them. Most importantly, Jeremy was the one who insisted on bringing her here.Everyone had their eyes on Corinne, who was going to buy them dinner tonight.Corinne had no intention of that, however, and proceeded to say, "No, I'm not…"Jeremy grabbed her shoulder and pulled her toward him before she could finish her senten
The impatient Annie walked up to Corinne and said, "Hey, Corinne, let's get you to change to your equestrian clothing!""Equestrian clothing?" Corinne raised an eyebrow. "I didn't bring any."Annie was surprised by this. "You didn't bring any? I brought a spare one with me, so you can wear mine! Though, I don't have an extra pair of boots.""I have a spare pair." Rosie smiled gently. "But I don't know if it fits her."Corinne said, "My shoe size is 5.5."Rosie said, "I'm wearing 7.5. It's slightly bigger, but you can give it a try."Corinne nodded. "Alright. Thank you."Rosie's smile brightened. "We're friends. You don't have to be so polite!"As such, the three girls headed to the changing room.In the changing room…Corinne put on the equestrian clothing Annie gave her. It was a red color suit, and the unique fitting of the equestrian clothing fully embraced her curvy figure.The shape of her face looked exquisite with her hair tied in a messy bun, giving her a cool yet cu
The scream startled everyone."What was that?""Did something happen in the changing room?""I think that's Rosie's voice!"Corinne and Annie heard it, too. They exchanged looks with each other in surprise and shook their heads, showing how baffled they both were. After all, they did not notice anything weird about Rosie when they left the changing room.Thus, all of them rushed to the changing room to check out what happened.In the room, Rosie looked in pain as she sat on the bench with sweat all over her forehead. She looked so hurt that she began to turn pale.Everyone saw how tormented she looked.Sunny approached and asked, "Rosie, what's wrong?"Zeke stood in front of her and asked softly, "Rosie, did something happen?"Rosie looked up and said in a trembling voice, "My…my leg…"What was wrong with her leg?As she said that, everyone looked over at her leg.She was only wearing one of the boots, and her free foot was outstretched as if she was enduring severe pain.
Sunny stared at the ear stud, and his anger disappeared immediately. Helplessly, he looked back at Rosie. "Rosie, I think you dropped your ear stud into the boot. You have to be more careful next time."Rosie looked at the ear stud on the doctor's hand and shook her head sheepishly. "No, this isn't my ear stud. I never wear this kind of ear stud…""Are you saying this ear stud isn't yours?" Suddenly, Sunny became alert. "Did someone put it into your boot? Is someone here trying to hurt you?"Everyone was surprised when they heard that. They had known each other since they were kids, and their families went way back. None of them would use this method to hurt their friends.Rosie was stunned when she heard that. After a while, she realized something and looked at Corinne, who was standing in between Jeremy and Annie, in disbelief."Corinne, I didn't do anything to you. Why did you do this to me?" she lamented.Everyone was dumbstruck by what they heard as they glanced at Corinne i
