NovelEnglishChapter 1826 "Hey, what are you doing?!" said Corinne. It felt really ticklish for Jeremy to be rubbing his face against her neck.
Jeremy straightened himself and rested his chin on her head.
"What do you think I'm doing?" he asked in a breathy tone.
Their noses were so close together, and it looked like he was about to kiss her again when Corinne quickly put a finger to his lips.

"Why not?" asked Jeremy pitifully.
Corinne glared at him. "Do you really think now's the tto be doing this? Letgo. I have a lot of questions to ask you." Jeremy reluctantly let her go. "I'm not going anywhere. Can it wait?" Jeremy's reasoning nearly made Corinne cave in, but she mustered all of her willpower to stay rational.
"No! I'm not going anywhere either, so we can have se..." She was too shy to finish the sentence. In fact, her face had turned beet red by then.
Jeremy laughed and rested his cheek against hers. "Yes? Go on. What can we do later?" he asked dotingly.
Corinne used all of her strength to push him away. "Nothing! Behave yourself!" Finally, Jeremy let her go but not physically. He was willing to push his agenda aside, but not her body.
He picked her up, sat down on the office chair, and placed her on his lap.
"Okay, we'll do what we want later. So, what do you want to ask me?" he asked as he looked at her like she was the most precious thing in the whole world.

He rubbed his cheek against hers again. "Why not? It's not like I'm stopping you from thinking. Or is it because your mind is elsewhere? Say, the bedroom where we can-" Corinne frowned and pushed his handsface away. rNo! It's not like that. Listen, 'cause I'm going to ask you the first question now.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Meanwhile, back in the hotel, Sophia had just woken up. After crashing Annie's wedding the previous day, she went to drink at a bar.
