He asked this question, indicating that he already investigated the ins and outs of the matter. Corinne pursed her lips and truthfully replied, "On that day at the hospital, Lucas happened to have the same blood type as a victim of a car accident. I saw that the victim's daughter was young and pitiful, so I wanted Lucas to help by donating blood. But he negotiated with me and demanded that I terminate the pregnancy. In my desperation, I agreed."

Jeremy coldly snorted, "May I ask, Miss Corinne, did you obtain my permission before deciding to terminate my child?"

Corinne furrowed her brow and her gaze trembled with guilt. "What child of yours! Please, Mister Jeremy, do not jump to conclusions. The child in my belly has nothing to do with you!"

"Turn around and look at me when you speak!" The man's tone became more severe.

Corinne took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and turned her face to stare at him with wide eyes. She repeated, "The child in my belly has nothing to do with you!"

Seeing her like this, Jeremy's brows furrowed displeasingly as he coldly glared at her. "Fine, even if it's not mine, Miss Corinne, you and your husband have such a good relationship, how could you bear to terminate the child?"

Corinne's eyes drifted a bit, and she fabricated a lie, "Because, because we planned on being childless, terminating the pregnancy was already part of the plan!"

Before she could finish her sentence, her chin was gripped by the man's rough, large hand, lifting it. "Keep making up stories! Go on!"

Corinne blinked her eyes and looked away, toward the window. "I-I'm not making it up!"

She could only maintain a defiant stance with her words, but she felt childish and foolish. Why couldn't she be more composed in front of Jeremy? Every time, she ended up looking like a passive fool! It was so frustrating!

Jeremy stared at her for a moment before releasing her pointed chin, coldly tossing a sealed envelope made of rough paper in front of her. "Take a look?"

Corinne was a little confused. What was this about? She picked up the cowhide envelope and pulled out a stack of photos.

In each photo, there were scenes of that brat Aaron going in and out of hotels with the girls he recently dated, being intimate and openly laughing.

Corinne suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her temples. That brat, Aaron, told him to restrain himself recently, yet he was still playing around like this!

She put the photos back into the envelope and awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth. "Apologies for the embarrassment, Mister Jeremy. When I go back, I will talk to that damned fellow in our family and tell him to restrain himself in the future, not to be so brazen!"

The man narrowed his eyes and stared at her, sneering. "I can't believe it. You're quite magnanimous! Your husband is carousing outside, yet as a newlywed wife, you don't seem the least bit angry?" Corinne forced a dry laugh. "It's better to take it lightly. How many men in this world don't fool around? If he's had his fun and knows to come back home, that's already good enough!"

The above was purely made up to deceive Jeremy! That's not what she thought! Unmarried men and women can play around however they want, but once you're married, you have responsibilities. You have to control y We value your privacy
