Chapter 1838 Everyone turned to look at Lilin, confused at what she meant.
"What do you mean, Lilin? What's different?" asked Emily with a curious smile.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLilin took a few steps forward, looked at Jeremy, and said, "What I meant was Zachary behaves differently when he's with Corinne than when he's with Sophia!" A flash of disgust crossed Jeremy's eyes at the mention of Sophia.
"Really? What's the difference?'1 asked Emily. She wanted to know whether Jeremy was good enough for her daughter.
After thinking about it, Lilin answered, He's like a completely different man! Zachary is cold and silent when he's with Sophia. There was no light in his eyes, and he didn't even bother to look at her! But with Miss Corinne, he's so gentle, so doting, so lively, and so polite!" Corinne frowned. 'She sure knows how to exaggerate. Jeremy has only said one sentence this whole time! And it's not like he spoke in a particularly gentle manner.' Emily turned her attention back to Jeremy again. "My child, I've heard about what happened to you. Why don't you sit down?" Instead of sitting down, Jeremy let go of Corinne's head and said softly," Sorry, but I have to go." He turned and left, not even explaining himself to Corinne.
Corinne was baffled. Before she could catch up to him and ask him what was wrong, he had already strode out and disappeared.
Corinne frowned. As worried as she was, she could not just leave her mother and go after him.
Lilin blinked in surprise. "Huh? What's the matter with him? Why did he go just like that? Did I provoke him?" Melinda hurriedly cforward to apologize to Corinne. "Sorry, Corinne! Lilin shouldn't have opened her big mouth to upset Zach...I mean Jeremy. I'm really sorry." Corinne shook her head. "No, it's not Lilin's fault. I'm sure this has nothing to do with her or you." She absentmindedly sat down beside Emily's bed and asked, "Mom, are you feeling better?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmily, too, was a little uneasy with how abruptly Jeremy left the scene.
Phi She nodded and said, Tri fine, Mednie: Is Jeremy okay? Do you want to go find him?"
Frankly, Corinne was miffed. She brought him to meet her mother, but he just up and left for no reason! Did he not care about her or her mother? Apart from her kids, she had no other family in this world. 'Hmph! How can he behave so disrespectfully to my mom? He can go to hell for all I care!' she thought.
"Mom, don't worry about him. Maybe he just went to the restroom. I'm sure he'll be back soon."
Emily nodded with srelief. She really did not want her existence to e cause trouble for Corinne's marriage.
