By then, the firework show had ended and a strong gust was blowing. No one outside the balcony noticed Anya's arrival because of how loud the fireworks were, so they were surprised to see Corinne and Jason talking on the sofa with Jeremy nowhere in sight when they came in.Zeke sat down and asked, "Corinne, where's Jeremy?"Corinne pointed at the stairs with her chin. "He went up to the guest room."Annie sat beside Corinne and asked, "Why did Uncle Jeremy go up there? How could he leave you alone here?"Corinne did not answer and simply sipped her juice.Annie, being the easily distractible child she was, did not think too much of it. She quickly took out her phone to show Corinne the photos she took of the firework show. "Look, Corinne. Aren't they beautiful?"Corinne looked down and saw Annie's firework photos posted online had garnered a high number of likes. She smiled and gave her a nod of approval. "Yeah, they are.""Right? That's what I think, too!" said Annie happily. S

Just when Lucas was staring at the photo in a trance…"Hey Jason, were you guys taking pictures?" said Anya curiously from behind Jason. She came just in time to have caught a glimpse of the photos in Jason's phone.Jason turned and smiled at her. "Yeah. Do you want to take one with us, too?"Anya shook her head. "No, thanks. I didn't put any makeup on today, so I'll look ugly in the photos.""Nonsense. You're beautiful even without makeup on," said Jason in a gentlemanly manner.Annie rolled her eyes and poked her tongue out at Anya while muttering to herself, "Oh, please. I can't believe she has the cheek to say she doesn't have makeup on when her face is caked with it. What does she think we are? Blind?"Corinne sipped her juice with a bored expression, so used to Anya's theatrics.Anya heard what Annie said. She threw a dirty glance at both Annie and Corinne before realizing Lucas was there, too. "Oh hey, Lucas. You're here too?"Lucas' face darkened at Anya's sudden arriva

Jeremy looked at Lucas with surprise. He never thought that Lucas would do something like that for him or Corinne."Are you sure?" Jeremy asked.Lucas walked over to the bed to check on Joey. "Yes, I'm sure. After all, this kid is my family's responsibility. In fact, we should be apologizing for causing you so much trouble."Jeremy narrowed his eyes in disbelief. 'Wasn't he the one who asked me to spend more time with Anya? Why the sudden change of heart?'"Lucas, what are you doing here? Umm…shouldn't you be down there drinking with your friends?" Anya asked with a frown.Lucas threw a glance at Anya and said meaningfully, "Jeremy should be the one doing that since he's the star of the night."Anya was speechless. She knew what Lucas was trying to tell her, but d*mn if she was going to let Jeremy go down to be with that b*tch!"Lucas, Joey really needs Jeremy right now. His temperature has finally just come down, and I'm afraid that it'll go up again if Jeremy's not here," said

When Jeremy got downstairs, he saw Jason passing one dessert after another to Corinne. Seeing this, he frowned and stopped in his tracks."Come here," he ordered. His voice cut through the room, causing everyone to fall silent.Corinne was enjoying the dessert with gusto, and when she looked up, she saw Jeremy glaring at her. Still, that did not stop her from enjoying her dessert."Didn't you hear what I said? Come. Here. Now!" ordered Jeremy again when he saw she had no intention of doing so.Only then did Corinne get up and walk over to him with the dessert still in her hand. "Why are you being such a sour puss?"Jeremy pulled her to him tightly before confiscating the dessert in her hand. "Didn't I tell you not to eat too much dessert?"Corinne pouted. "You took so long to come down, and I got bored. It's not like I can drink with the others, so what else can I do but eat?"Her words cut deep into his psyche. He immediately felt his heart tightened because he knew he was wron

Corinne cut Anya off with a yawn and said nonchalantly, "You said it yourself. Joey's adopted, so he's not your son in the biological sense. And from what I heard, you were the one who begged Jeremy to adopt that kid with you, and you also promised he wouldn't have to do anything else after that."You should take up all the responsibility when that kid is concerned. Isn't it enough for you that Jeremy, out of the kindness in his heart, had been helping you to take care of Joey all this time? I mean, he had every right to ignore your pleas for help. I should warn you, Miss Anya, you're not entitled to any of Jeremy's help, and if you think you are…then you should do some self-reflection."Knowing that she could not win an argument against Corinne, Anya resorted to using her signature act. "But Corinne, I just…just wanted Jeremy to check on poor Joey. Why do you insist on making me out to be the bad guy here?" she asked tearfully.Corinne smilingly stepped forward and roughly lifted A
