Jeremy ordered Bowen to get him the spare key.
As soon as he walked into the room, he could smell the scent of body wash floating through the air.
‘So she’s taken her shower.’
As upset as he was about being locked out, all of his anger disappeared when he saw Corinne curled up sleeping on
the bed.
She looked so cute with her face half buried in the pillow she was hugging. Any man would have found himself
burning with desire if they saw her like that.
Jeremy’s face softened without him being aware of it. He bent down and quietly took away the pillow she was
hugging and put it aside. He then turned her face upward so she would not be sleeping on her side.
He looked down at her and realized her eyebrows were furrowed as though she was having a bad dream, so he

how cute she was!
The kiss woke her up. Frowning, she muttered with annoyance, “Don’t touch me, you dirty old man…”
Jeremy was a little taken aback. He straightened himself and looked into her eyes. “What did you say?”
Still frowning, she repeated brazenly, “I said, don’t touch me, you dirty old man.”
Jeremy’s face instantly darkened when he realized Corinne was not joking.
“Corinne Carew, I must have been too easy on you for you to treat me however you want!”
Corinne turned over so she did not have to look at him. “You’re right! Give me an inch and I’ll take a mile! You
should just stay away from me!”
Jeremy had never known to have a good temper, so his face immediately hardened when Corinne gave him the
cold shoulder.
“Turn around and look at me,” he ordered her through gritted teeth.
Corinne simply ignored him.
“I said, turn around and look at me! Do you hear?” repeated Jeremy forcefully.
“I don’t want to look at you right now! Buzz off!”
No one ever dared to talk to Jeremy like that. He knew he should not get angry at his pregnant wife, but she was
not making it any easier for him.
Suppressing his anger, he tugged his tie and repeated, “I’m only going to say this one last time. Turn. Around. And.
Look. At. Me!”
He was afraid he would do something to hurt her in a fit of blind anger if she did not turn around. Therefore, it was
good that Corinne did turn around in the end.
After that, she sat up and said, “Fine! If you won’t get out of the room, I will!”

Finally, Jeremy could not hold back his anger anymore. He grabbed her wrist and spun her back forcefully before
roughly lifting her chin so she had to look at him.
“Tell me what have I done to make you angry! I’m so sick of you giving me the silent treatment! Nothing ever gets
solved if you don’t talk to me!” he shouted angrily.
Corinne looked at him dully. “There’s nothing for us to solve! I just want to sleep alone tonight, okay? There’s no law
that says a couple has to sleep in the same bed all the time!”
Jeremy’s eyes widened even more. “Do you think I stopped you from going out because I’m angry at you not
wanting to sleep in the same bed with me?”
Corinne chuckled wryly. “Why else? What else am I good for apart from satisfying your s*xual urges? Do you even
love me?”
Jeremy could not believe she was actually asking him that.
“How can you even ask me that? Have I not proven myself enough? Why don’t you just tell me why you’re angry at
me?”
