Sunny frowned in consternation. "Jeremy must have developed feelings for you during the three months you were together. Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated you so well. He became depressed after you lef and it took him a long while to get out of it. Now that things are going well with him and Anya, I hope you'll leave them alone. Compared to you, Anya needs Jeremy more since her health is failing as we speak. 'Jeremy was depressed because of me?' Corinne thought with disbelief. 'Huh! So what? He brought it on himself. Serves him right for tricking me into believing he has feelings while he goes around playing a happy family with Anya and Joey. He's probably just depressed because I called him out on his bullsh*t and he couldn't take the humiliation.'

Sunny stared at Corinne pointedly, causing a frown to appear on his face. "Corinne, there are plenty more fish in the sea. You can be my sister-in-law if you're interested in Lucas. He's every bit as good as Jeremy. H*ll, I'll even help you to get him in the bag."

The corners of Corinne's mouth started twitching. 'So this kid is willing to sacrifice his brother to secure his own sister's happiness.'

"Don't worry, Mister Sunny. I won't steal your sister's man because I have better things to do than that and thank you for your kind offer but I'll take care of my own love life. You should know there are plenty of guys lining up at my door so you can keep your beloved brother to yourself."

Sunny was a little peeved at Corinne's refusal of Lucas. He scoffed and said. "Oh, I'm very well aware you don't lack any suitors at all 'cause I saw someone pick you up in a luxury car at the airport." Corinne did not deign to give him an explanation. She was perfectly okay with letting him think whatever he wanted.

Seeing Corinne unfazed by his little jabs, Sunny became even more upset at not reaching his goal so he said angrily, "Corinne, do I need to remind you of the many women who got thrown away after the rich men got bored of them? Men like that will never take responsibility for the women they used. It's fine if you don't like Lucas but that doesn't mean you should just accept any man that comes your way! That's how you end up getting hurt. In fact, why don't you just marry me? I promise to treat you right as long as you don't fight over Jeremy with Anya!"

Corinne looked at Sunny, who was sporting an expression of a martyr, with her brow raised. "You make it sound like I'm forcing you to marry me."

Sunny pouted. "No, I don't mind doing that since I like you in a way. It's just that-"

"Just what?"

"I have no intention of ever getting married in this life but I'm willing to make you the exception."

Corinne rolled her eyes at him. "Oh, please. I have no interest whatsoever in marrying you even if you're willing to make me the exception in your no-marriage rule." Sunny frowned, puffed out his chest childishly, and asked angrily, "Corinne Carew, what's wrong with marrying me? What gives you the right to look down on me?" Corinne tapped him lightly on his temple and said, "Because there's nothing inside your head, that's why."

'D*mn her! How dare she call me stupid?' Sunny became so furious that it caused his brain to go blank with rage and his face turned as black as thunder.
