Chapter 390

Marvin looked up at Jeremy, who was a good head taller than him, and decided to follow his lead inplaying the part of the wise, old elder. He nodded admiringly and loftily said, “What a good son–in–lawyou are! I’m sure we’ll get along just fine.”

Lilliana smiled and said, “Jeremy, you must be tired from work. As your mother, I’ll be more than happyto cook you some of my signature dishes later.”

Bowen, who stood beside them, frowned unhappily. For a moment, he thought he heard wrong. ‘DidMissus Carew really call herself Mister Jeremy’s mother? She shouldn’t do that even if she’s hismother–in–law. I do not like them. They have no boundaries and no manners.‘

Jeremy narrowed his eyes, and there was no hint of emotions on his face. He raised his head at Bowenand said, “Please make sure Corinne’s parents are well taken care of while I go upstairs to check onher.”

Bowen–who witnessed everything that happened–could not help but think she deserved it. ‘She’s onedelusional woman, alright. I wonder what makes her think that Mister Jeremy cares about her. Doesn’tshe know that Mister Jeremy

wouldn’t even be talking to her if not for the fact that she’s Ma’am’s sister? Calling her delusional is theunderstatement of the century.‘

However, Sherlyn was not about to give up that easily. She leaned seductively toward Jeremy and said,“Oh, come on, Jeremy. I just want to follow you upstairs to check on my little sister. I’m sure that’s nobig deal.”

She made to grab Jeremy’s arm, but he moved away from her, not giving her a chance to touch him.“What are you doing?” he asked with darkened eyes.

Sherlyn was shocked that in return for her warmth, all she received from Jeremy was his anger. Shedid not know what to do. “Um… I…..”

‘What’s going on? All the men I’ve seduced in the past would gladly accept me with open arms. Why isJeremy so cold toward me?‘ she wondered.
