Jeremy glanced at Sunny. He stared at Corinne, whose back faced them as she stood outside the suitedoor not too far away, and merely replied, “Nothing.”

Sunny sighed despondently. “My sister always said that she’ll be back soon, but she hasn’t come backafter so long! These days when my sister isn’t at home, no one looks after me and instead belittlesme….especially my brother. When he sees me, he criticizes me and bullies me all day long!”

“If you want to know when she’ll return, call her yourself and ask.”

“Forget it. It’s better for Anya to rest and to recuperate abroad, and I don’t want to put pressure on her.”

Jeremy closed his eyes, his gaze indifferent. “Since Rosie’s foot is fine, you should look after her. onyour sister’s behalf and send her home safely.”

Sunny nodded obediently. “Alright, I understand. Jeremy, where are you going?”

Jeremy was walking away as he replied, “I have something to do at home, so I’ll be taking my leavenow.”

Seeing that Jeremy was about to leave, Rosie chased after him a few steps and called out,” Jeremy!Wait, Jeremy!”

H

She wanted to stop Jeremy, not wanting him to go with that country bumpkin Corinne. Alas, he did notstop nor look back as he walked away with steady steps.

Rosie secretly clenched her fists as a flash of reluctance crossed her eyes.

Sunny frowned sadly and muttered, “Since you’re okay now, why don’t you call my sister and tell heryou’re alright, Rosie? Tell her not to worry about you abroad!”

Rosie came back to her senses and nodded helplessly. “Oh, don’t worry about that, Sunny. I’ll call Anyato talk about it.”

When Corinne came out of the hotel lobby dragging her suitcase, Tommy had already driven the carthe hotel entrance.

Annie, too, had packed her luggage and came out with Corinne.

The two girls handed their suitcases to Tommy and had him put them in the trunk, and Annie thenwalked over and opened the backseat door to get in the car. To her surprise, someone else wasalready inside.

The man was leaning lazily on the back of the leather chair with a laptop placed on his long legswrapped in slacks. He was concentrating on reviewing emails.

Annie was baffled. “Huh? Uncle Jeremy, Tommy told me that you had something to do and thuswouldn’t be leaving with us. Didn’t you also ask him to send Corinne and me home first?”

Jeremy glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. “It’s alright, I’ll be heading back with you.”

The man’s deep gaze lightly swept over Annie, paused for a few seconds on Corinne behind her, andturned back to continue looking at the computer.

“Oh!” Annie quickly took a step back and gestured toward Corinne so she would enter first,

cordially inviting her ‘elder‘ to have her seat sensibly. “Here, Corinne, get in the car!”

However, Corinne shook her head and replied, “You go first.”

“No, you first, dear aunt. You can sit in the middle next to Uncle Jeremy!”

“No. I want to sit by the window so that I can breathe when I get motion sickness.”

“Oh! Oh, I get it. Alright, then!” Annie nodded, then got into the car understandingly, and left the seat bythe window to Corinne.

Jeremy’s eyes fell on the laptop screen that had dimmed gloomily.

Motion sickness? She was fine when she came, and he did not see her having any motion sickness.

This was clearly an excuse for her not wanting to sit next to him!

Nonetheless, the car drove along the winding mountain road.

Annie felt rather regretful sitting in the middle because the atmosphere in the car was…painfullyawkward.

Both her uncle and Corinne did not even exchange words. Jeremy seemed to be the more

agitated party because for some reason, an ominous aura emanated from him…and no one evenprovoked him!

Annie sighed inwardly. She should have gone around to Jeremy’s side and got in the car so that hecould sit next to Corinne. Why did she have to sit in the middle?!

Alas, it was too late for regrets.

Corinne wore earphones the whole time, closed her eyes, and rested her mind, ignoring the hustle andbustle of the world.

Throughout the two–hour drive, she and Jeremy did not say a word.
