The little rascal's tone was not friendly at all. She was not in a good mood, no doubt.What happened to Corinne?Jeremy's eyebrows sank slightly. "Okay, but what are you throwing at me?"Corinne spread her hands. "Mister, I'm not throwing a temper tantrum. I just think that when no one else is present, we don't need to act as a husband and wife, nor do we need to cultivate a relationship. Men and women are different, and we should consciously keep a distance."After all, Anya, Jeremy's true love, was coming back, and it seemed that the man had not moved on from her, too.Corinne was not interested in meddling in other people's affairs. Even if she was misunderstood as a mistress, she would never actually stoop to being one.For instance, Sunny and Rosie saw her as such, so they would trouble her repeatedly.As for what happened that fateful night a few days ago, she had to give him a little hand because he was poisoned. She would erase that memory and seal it forever as if it n
Jeremy cleared his throat after being told off by his niece. "If you can easily see something, why do you need to say it formally?"Annie said affirmatively, "Hey, it's very necessary! We girls hate ambiguous relationships the most! If you don't express your intentions but still make intimate gestures to others, girls will feel that it's irresponsible teasing and feel as if we're not respected, so of course we'll be angry!"Jeremy hesitated slightly. "She's already angry. What should I do?"Annie was stunned. Was Jeremy…actually asking her for a solution?This was a first; her all-powerful uncle had never done this before, and she felt a sense of importance."Duh, you have to make up for it as much as possible! Pick a suitable time, formally express your heart to the other party, let her know that she's the one you're dead set on, and give her enough sense of security! Pay attention! There must be a sense of ceremony! Let me emphasize this, there must be a sense of ceremony! There
After hanging up the phone, Corinne lazily leaned on the sofa and continued to watch the television as she ate her potato chips.20 minutes later, Annie hastily arrived at the Holdens estate and dragged her into the car, insisting on taking her shopping to buy Jeremy a birthday present.Corinne felt helpless. Why did she need to buy Jeremy a birthday present?She was just an extra, playing the role of his wife with zero pay, yet all of a sudden, she had to give him a gift?No matter how she looked at it, this felt unreasonable.…Downtown Commercial Street.In a famous designer store in VK Mall, Annie sat in front of a glass counter, carefully selecting the dazzling array of delicate accessories."Aunt Corinne, what kind of gift do you think Uncle Jeremy will like more?"Corinne stood aside and tried on a pair of sunglasses disinterestedly and replied casually while looking in the mirror, "I don't know."Annie frowned and turned to look at her, showing a troubled expression.
"In this world, two things can never be grasped. One is time, and the other is a human's heart. If the other person's heart is no longer with you, no matter what you do to please them, their heart will never be yours. Why, then, should you spend so much energy doing something so futile? It's better to do a good job in your own business, improve yourself, and let yourself be the one who holds the initiative."Annie was caught off-guard, and the confusion in her eyes was replaced with admiration. "Aunt Corinne, what you said is so philosophical! I want to learn from you! Don't fret about men anymore and just focus on your career!"Corinne pinched her glabella, fearing that Annie would get the wrong idea and thus patiently explained, "That's not the case. It's good to fall in love and enrich your emotional life, but remember to never surrender yourself easily, let alone entrust your future to a man, wronging yourself to please a man. Understand?"Annie nodded, feeling wholly inspired.
Lunar Century Manor.Hastily, Annie gave her car keys to the valet to park her car so she could film Corinne with her phone."Aren't you supposed to take a video of yourself to record your daily vlog?" Corinne felt rather helpless. "Why do you keep filming me instead?"Annie giggled. "That's because you're too pretty, and I just can't help myself!"She wanted to film Corinne getting out of the car, when she would then see Jeremy, and the entire process when Jeremy would confess to her. She wanted to make it into a short film that would impress everyone when she would post it on her social media account, wanting everyone to be jealous of them.Corinne was at a loss for words at Annie's behavior. She massaged her glabella to ease the tension she felt before she decided to ignore Annie and walked into the manor by herself.To enter the manor, people were required to walk past an arch embellished with Moonstones. After she walked past it, a breeze blew at her, carrying a rather fragr
Paper confetti flew and scattered on the floor as a thin, well-dressed young woman jumped out of the box with colorful butterflies. The sight was surreal and magical.The girl ran toward Jeremy excitedly and buried herself in a hug fondly. "Jeremy, I'm finally back! Thank you for preparing this for me; I like it so much. It's so touching!"Corinne froze at the sight as her expression dulled. Suddenly, the butterflies she felt earlier…felt like a joke.Anya had come back.Every pink tulip in Lunar Century Manor was blooming for her. The reason Jeremy had asked her to come here was most likely to inform her that the apple of his eye had returned. Thus, she had to behave when she was acting as his wife to avoid causing misunderstandings with the girl he loved dearly. That must be it.She understood.For a moment there, she truly believed this day was all about her. She thought Jeremy was going to confess his love to her.Hilarious. The man told her that he could provide her with an
On the other side of the sky, a bright full moon hung in the sky as if the lively confessions had nothing to do with it.Corinne took out her phone and took a photo of the moon to post it to her social media.[The moon is so beautiful tonight.]Just a few seconds after it was posted, a friend with the nickname An liked the post. She even commented on the post, [Yeah. I think so, too.]Corinne never recalled having an acquaintance with that name in her account, so she clicked the profile.It was a girl smiling peacefully and cheerfully at the camera.She continued to look at the post the girl posted. From there, she concluded that this was Anya Rivera and her social media account.It was only then Corinne realized she was using Jeremy's phone, and the social media account logged into the phone was Jeremy's. She actually posted to Jeremy's social media account instead of hers.She did not think twice when she posted that and did not notice that was not her account.'Ugh, forget
Corinne's words did not comfort the blind elderly man, alas."Even if they have urgent matters to attend to, it's still wrong to park the car on the tactile paving. Nowadays, people are only concerned with their own conveniences and refuse to think if their actions will trouble others!"The blind elderly man did have a point.Corinne sighed and wanted to assist the blind elderly man to walk past the SUV when all of a sudden, someone shrieked, "Hey! What did you guys do?!"Corinne looked in the direction of the voice and spotted a young girl with purple hair running toward them angrily, holding a selfie stick.The girl saw the shattered window and immediately snapped crassly, "What the f*ck? The heck, you two! Why did you smash my car?"Corinne had seen this purple-haired girl when she sat at the embankment of Yonder River, and she figured the girl was an influencer.The purple-haired girl used the lavish confessions at Yonder River as a way to attract viewers by broadcasting the
