“I decided to learn a little bit about the subway lines after taking a ride with you last time.”

Jeremy bent down and picked up the subway cards issued by the ticket machine. Then, he tookCorinne’s hand and led her to the turnstiles to swipe their cards before walking to the waiting area as ifhe had done the same thing a thousand times.

Corinne found it weird that he would want to learn about the subway lines that she missed out on thefact that Jeremy was holding her hand. “Why do you need to know about this kind of thing when you’realways being chauffeured around? Don’t you replace it unnecessary?”

Jeremy glanced at her sideways and scoffed coldly, “Didn’t someone last time say that I should learn tolive life like the average person once in a while?”

Corinne was speechless. She remembered that she had indeed said that to him at the racecourse lasttime. At that time, she wanted to show Rosie that she had principles and was not with Jeremy for hismoney.

“I didn’t mean anything by that. Did you really learn to take the subway like us average people justbecause I said that to you?”

“You mean I’m not an average folk?” Jeremy asked with one eyebrow raised.

Corinne pursed her mouth in disgust and replied, “Of course not. You’re one of those evil capitalists.”

“Have I ever exploited you?” Jeremy asked with a laugh.

“Yes! I have given you three months of my precious time. Not to mention, you’ve caused me so manytroubles from the very first day I met you,” said Corinne confidently.

Jeremy stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at her.

“I’m sorry.”

His sudden sincere apology made Corinne feel very uncomfortable.

“Forget it. We’re both responsible for the situation we’re in now since you only started to exploit meafter I kissed you. I’m fine as long as you don’t exploit me anymore after the three months are up.”

“Deal.”

“Mister, do keep in mind that there’s no postponement of ending this relationship once the three monthsare up,” Corinne said with a frown.

Jeremy narrowed his eyes and looked deeply into her eyes. You sound like you’re afraid I’ll ask for apostponement.”

Corinne nodded vigorously. “Of course! I don’t want to be bound to you or be at your mercy forever. Ireally hope you’ll keep your word and give me back my freedom as promised.”

Jeremy’s eyes darkened. “Corinne Carew, I’ll let you go and give you back your freedom now.”

Corinne’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Yes, really.”

“Wow! Thanks, Mister. I’ll be leaving, then. Hope we never bump into each other again.”

Corinne quickly shook off Jeremy’s hand and walked away. However, Jeremy pulled her back by thearm before she could even take three steps.

“Did I say you can leave?” Jeremy asked coldly.

Corinne looked puzzled. “You just told me you’re letting me go! How can you go back on your words soquickly?”

“I’m not going to force you to pretend to be my wife anymore, but I hope you’ll at least considerbecoming my real wife.”

Corinne looked at Jeremy in astonishment. She could not help but wonder whether she heard wrong.‘He wants me to be his real wife? Wait a minute… Is he proposing to me?‘

“Hello? Earth to Corinne?” Jeremy tapped her on the nose with his finger, wanting her to come out ofher trace and put her focus back on him.

Corinne recovered from her shock but was still slightly in a daze.

“Didn’t you just ask me why I learned how to take the subway? Well, I was scared that you, being thelittle rascal that you are, will abandon me in the subway station one day and that I won’t be able tochase after you on account of me not knowing how to buy the ticket.”

As he was speaking, he slid his hand to her wrist and then interlocked his fingers with hers until he hadher hand firmly clasped in his. It was as if he was very worried that she would suddenly run away.

Corinne was beginning to feel her resolve melting little by little. Jeremy’s every word and move madeher more and more confused. She even looked behind and around her, checking to see if the eldersfrom the Holden family had sent someone to spy on them. If not, why would Jeremy be acting like this?

Jeremy noticed her looking around and knew that her brain must be going into overdrive again.
