Chapter 104
Sherlyn’s shocked tone prompted Marvin and Lilliana to look out of the car window together.
Lilliana rolled her eyes and said, “Look, Marvin! That is Corinne! Is that man her partner? Corinne’s a young woman, and it’s already very late. Why is she wandering around outside with a man? That’s not very good, is it?”
Marvin frowned in displeasure, firstly because of how inappropriate it was for his daughter Corinne to be alone with a man at such a late hour, and secondly because he saw Corinne walking into the train station entrance with that man. From his angle, all they could see was the man’s back profile and not his face. However, Marvin, Lilliana, and Sherlyn had only one word for that man-poor.
Sherlyn sighed and pretended to be worried for them as she said, “Dad, why did Corinne get a boyfriend who goes around using the train? She’s not showing any improvement over the men that Mom introduced to her before. Those men all have houses and cars!”
Lilliana joined in with her daughter and sighed aggrievedly. “Leave her be. What’s most important is that she likes him. That young man is tall, and I suppose he’s quite handsome too, but the main issue is if he’s poor. It won’t be good if he doesn’t have a house and wants to be a live-in son-in- law after he gets married to her.”
“Good looks are useless! I don’t have money to spare to support a live-in son-in-law, and it’ll only be embarrassing for us!” Marvin snorted angrily and resented the fact that Corinne did not seem to show a desire to improve herself.
He had been feeling proud after accompanying his eldest daughter Sherlyn to sign a contract with a big company and clinking glasses with her manager, but seeing his youngest daughter’s unbecoming antics and disgraceful behavior made him feel disappointed and unable to count on her at all.
Sherlyn and her mother Lilliana looked at each other and smiled with glee. In their hearts, Corinne was only worthy of dating poor guys who took the train! Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Inside the train station, Jeremy stood behind Corinne and lowered his head slightly while. observing her buying tickets from the automatic ticket vending machine. Once she bought her ticket, she turned around and left without even looking at him.
After Jeremy stood in front of the machine and clicked the screen a few times, his handsome eyebrows frowned slightly. Though that was his first time setting foot in such a place, he was not that dumb as to be clueless about how to operate the automatic ticket vending machine. The main problem was his unfamiliarity with the train lines-he did not know which station to buy a ticket to.
As he tilted his head to look around, Corinne’s figure seemed to have disappeared as she had already slipped away. The person queuing behind him was getting impatient and urged him, “Hey! Have you bought a ticket yet? How long are you going to take?”
As soon as Jeremy turned around, his cold and threatening aura scared the middle-aged lady
behind him into keeping her mouth shut. She then made the conscious decision to line up elsewhere.
Jeremy did not want to waste everyone else’s “Which line and station should I buy the ticket to?”
Tommy was speechless. He did not know either because he never took the train!
“One moment, sir. I’ll find it right away!”
Jeremy sighed with a sullen expression, and there was impatience and irritability in his cold eyes. At that moment, the sound of giggles came from behind.
He turned his head, looked over in the direction of the laughter, and saw Corinne leaning lazily on the stone pillar behind him. She watched him and laughed as she asked, “Is this your first time at a train station?”
Jeremy was expressionless and did not answer her.
Corinne cocked her eyebrows and said with a smile, “Well… Since you’ve reimbursed the bill I paid for the student party, I’ll pay for your train ride! Let’s go!”
After saying that, she threw the ticket at him like a dart.
Jeremy raised his hand to catch it and glanced at the ticket sandwiched between his long fingers. His handsome eyes narrowed as he thought to himself, ‘She bought my ticket too? So she made the conscious decision to hide there just so she could see me make a fool of myself! Tch!’
