The man’s stern gaze resembled that of someone scolding a careless child as he disdainfully lectured,” You haven’t
even washed the foam out of your hair properly, and you’re in such a hurry to go out!”
Corinne paused for a moment, remembering that she fell asleep in the bathtub while washing her hair and did not
rinse it off.
She pouted and issued her ultimatum, “If you don’t go out, how am I supposed to wash?”
Jeremy did not waste time on idle talk. He reached out and grabbed the showerhead, half-commanding, ” Close
your eyes.”
Corinne hesitated. Why should she close her eyes? Could this man be planning to help her wash her hair? Would he
be so attentive?
“What are you staring at? Close your eyes!” the man commanded again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnnoyed by his reprimand, Corinne felt displeased but obediently closed her eyes.
Fine, she would endure this momentary calm and not challenge this man!
Otherwise, he might act without principles and take away her bath towel!
Seeing her obediently close her eyes, the man tested the water temperature from the showerhead and then
positioned it over her head, letting the warm and gentle water flow onto her hair.
With his other large hand, the man gently and patiently gathered her hair, making sure to wash away the foam
hidden among the strands.
Perhaps it was true that a woman became less clever during pregnancy. This little girl was not as sharp as she used
to be, appearing dazed and confused.
Jeremy could not bear to leave her alone in the bathroom to bathe, given her current state of confusion.
The reason he entered while she was bathing was by no means to peep at her.
She was in the bath for too long, not responding when he knocked on the door. It was only then, as a last resort,
that he used the key to open the door and check on her.
Considering her pregnancy and her current dazed state, he did not want her bathing alone. What if she slipped and
fell? It would not be a trivial matter!
Her hair was gently gathered by the man’s large hand, occasionally receiving gentle massages on her scalp. With
the warm water adding to the comfort, Corinne felt like a contented lazy cat, thoroughly satisfied and almost
sleepy. Thinking that there would not be any foam in her eyes, she secretly opened her eyes and stared at the
handsome man who condescended to wash her hair, feeling dazed for a while.
Who would have thought that Jeremy, the proud son of the Holdens who stood above all, would personally take care
of her hair in private? It was truly unimaginable!
Noticing the girl’s infatuated gaze, the man lowered his eyes and suddenly met hers.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” he asked, his tone both flirtatious and mocking.
Corinne felt a bit shy and blinked unnaturally. “Um, can’t I just look at you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man squinted his eyes, his tone ambiguous and sarcastic. “Am I good-looking?”
Corinne admitted frankly, “Um, you’re quite good-looking.”
The man’s gaze darkened, and he stared at her aggressively. “You think I’m good-looking, yet you run to
other men? It seems that in Miss Corinne’s eyes, I’m not the most attractive one!”
Corinne tugged at the corner of her mouth, feeling speechless.
After going in circles, the conversation returned to its original topic. If Jeremy was so concerned about Aaron’s
presence, it was possible that he would cause trouble for Aaron and his company in the future.
Considering this, Corinne decided to be honest and confess, “Mister, to be precise, Aaron and I are from the same
hometown. We grew up together in the same village, just like close friends who are as familiar as family. So, there
can never be any romantic feelings between us. He’s like a younger brother to me!”
Upon hearing her voluntary explanation, the man was quite surprised but responded with a dark, unhappy chuckle.
“So, you’re childhood sweethearts, huh?”
She nodded. “Um, something like that!”
Jeremy’s expression turned serious as he turned the question around. “Then, what is your relationship. with
