Sunny stayed behind in the dining room, waiting for Corinne and Jeremy to give out his punishment.The maid placed a steaming hot plate of breakfast food in front of Corinne, who was so hungry that she immediately dug in. As she was shoveling the bacon and egg into her mouth, she sensed a pair of eyes boring into her. She did not know how to describe the look, but the closest she could get was that it felt like she was being entwined by a flaming thread that was getting tighter around her body.She instinctively frowned and glared at Jeremy. "Mister, why are you still here? Shouldn't you be off to work right now?"Jeremy furrowed his brow in mock anger. "You just can't wait for me to leave, huh?"Corinne shook her head. "No, it's not like that. It's more like you've finished your breakfast, so instead of wasting your time here, shouldn't you head off to work where your staff is waiting for you?"Jeremy pursed his lips and said, "There's no rush."Corinne twitched the corners of h
Corinne completely ignored Sunny. Instead, she yawned, walked past him, and up the stairs. She had only one thing on her mind, and that was to go back to sleep.Sunny was dumbstruck. He chased after her unhappily and said, "Hey, Corinne! Aren't you going to punish me? Hello?"Corinne paid him no mind and continued walking up the stairs.Anger began to rise in Sunny. He did not like being ignored and was about to go upstairs to give her a piece of his mind when Bowen grabbed his arm and said, "Mister Sunny, Ma'am would like to take her nap now. Why don't you wait for her to wake before asking her to punish you?"Sunny furrowed his eyebrows. "Why is she so lazy? It's already late morning and she still wants to sleep?"Bowen did not like anyone from the Rivera family talking like this about his employer, so he dropped his usual politeness and said, "In any case, you're not to bother Ma'am. You're to wait for her quietly until she decides to come down on her own accord!"He then inst
Everything originated from Jeremy's change of attitude toward her.Corinne waved her hand and said, "It's fine. I'll get lunch on my own."Bowen hurriedly asked, "Where are you going, ma'am? Shall I ask the driver to send you there?"Corinne walked toward the gate and said, "No thanks. I was thinking of going out for a walk anyway."Bowen still did not feel at ease. "Umm... Did you bring your cell phone with you? Is it fully charged? That'll make it much easier for Mister Jeremy to look for you. It'll be terrible if something happens to you and he can't contact you."He remembered when Jeremy came back from a business trip and was unable to reach Corinne after she did not return the entire night. Jeremy searched frantically for her throughout the night and barely stopped short of turning the entire city upside down.Just thinking of this left Bowen feeling horrified.Corinne changed her shoes at the entrance while saying, "Don't worry. I won't lose it! You should get back to wha
Sunny scratched his head. "Well, my sister said that the conflict between the Riveras and the Holdens will deepen if no one comes forward to take responsibility. If that happens, her relationship with Jeremy will be affected..." His voice unconsciously became softer as he spoke.At that moment, he realized how inappropriate it was to talk about his sister and Jeremy in front of Corinne.Corinne, however, did not care at all and simply curled her lips in a smirk. "Will you die for your kind sister if she tells you to?"Sunny nodded without thinking. "Of course!"Corinne could only give him a thumbs up. "What an awesome younger brother you are!"Though her words and actions were that of praise, Sunny felt that it was a little weird, almost as if there was some deep yet negative implication in her praise. Still unconvinced, he followed Corinne and asked again, "What do you mean by that, Corinne? My sister treats me the best, and I can't just leave her to die if she's in danger. My li
A bus happened to arrive as soon as Corinne arrived at the bus stop. She regained her senses, jogged a couple of steps, and hopped on the bus before finding a seat by the window.Sunny chased after her and boarded the bus too, but since it was his first time taking a bus, he did not know that he had to swipe a card before getting on. In his embarrassment, he had to go back and scan the QR code to make payment after the bus driver reminded him in a loud voice.After paying the fare, Sunny sat next to Corinne with a sullen face.Corinne ignored him and had a pleasant mood as she looked at the scenery outside the window.Sunny frowned, stared at Corinne for a while, and asked in confusion, "Hey, Corinne. You're Jeremy's wife now. Why do you still take the bus?"Corinne leaned lazily on the chair with a relaxed expression on her face. "What's wrong with taking the bus? Isn't the service good?"Sunny glanced around inside the bus and saw that it was generally clean and spacious. There
Sunny crossed his arms and snorted confidently, "It's useless even if you do like him. The two of you won't last long anyway! Just take my advice and quit while you're ahead, or it'll feel much worse if you get dumped in the future..."The bus pulled over at the station as he spoke.Corinne got up, walked past Sunny, and got out of the bus without glancing at him.Sunny snapped back to his senses and chased unhappily after her. "Hey! Corinne! Did you listen to what I just said? Corinne!"Corinne turned a deaf ear to Sunny's nagging and walked into a cafe. Meanwhile, Sunny followed her in and continued to yap non-stop. After a while, Corinne came out with an iced caffe latte and walked relaxedly into the shopping mall in front of her.Sunny followed her while droning on about his unfinished topic. He was determined to persuade Corinne to quit and return Jeremy to his sister. Corinne, on the other hand, ignored Sunny entirely and sipped on her caffe latte while going shopping. She v
Corinne felt that Sunny's handsomeness paled far in comparison to his stupidity. Even if he did not like the girl, it was unbecoming of him to talk to her like that.When Corinne saw that the long-haired girl was about to cry, she could not help but feel sympathetic and decided to step forward and comfort her. "Ignore him. Being polite isn't one of his quality traits. He has a problem with me, not you."The long-haired girl was stunned, and she suppressed her tears while looking at Corinne in awe and curiosity. "Hi, nice to meet you. Are you Sunny's sister?"Corinne could tell at first glance that the girl had a crush on Sunny. If she said no to the girl's question, it would only cause the girl to further misunderstand her relationship with Sunny."... Sort of."After Corinne comforted her, the long-haired girl was no longer as awkward as before and smiled at Corinne. "My name is Charlene Schumer, and I'm Sunny's classmate. I'm sorry I wasn't aware of your identity earlier. You se
Sunny raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and shot back, "Were you expecting the Riveras to tell outsiders about what happens in the family? Who do you think you are?"Yash stared unhappily at Sunny. "Fine. I'll treat her as your sister, then! The last time I lost to you a mobile game, you were lucky to have matched with a full-level boss! Let's see if you guys are lucky enough to complete the escape room challenge this time. I can't wait to see the two of you running off like scaredy cats!"Sunny had a disdainful look on his face. "We'll see about that!""Bring it on!" Yash sneered and swaggered off smugly with his four friends into the escape room premises.Sunny turned to Corinne and was pumped up as he said, "Come on! Let's go in there and show them what we've got!"Corinne raised her eyebrows. "I don't remember agreeing to go with you."An unhappy look appeared on Sunny's face as he grabbed her and said, "Why are you backing out at this juncture? Come with me!"Corinne di
