Chapter 323
Suddenly, Corinne’s stomach gave out an embarrassing growl -she was hungry.
Half of Jeremy’s anger vanished when he heard her stomach growling. He looked at her with his intense eyes and patted her head. “Okay then, we can start with having a meal together. What do you want to eat?”
‘Start with having a meal together? What does he mean?‘ Corinne wondered. Jeremy’s words made her feel a little uncomfortable. ‘Does he mean what I think he means? Should I ask him? No! I don’t want him to think that I’m getting the wrong idea about the whole thing.‘
Corinne rubbed her hungry stomach and looked away from him. “I’m okay with anything, but I’m too tired to walk anymore.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jeremy scooped her up and carried her in a horizontal position.
Corinne was stunned. She turned beet red. “Mister…what are you doing?”
Jeremy began to walk along the bridge with her in his arms. He looked down at her and said, “Didn’t you say you’re tired of walking?”
Corinne was nonplussed. “What I meant was you should call someone to come and pick us up quickly instead of carrying me like this!”
“What you ultimately want is to not walk, so what difference does it make if I carry you or if a car carries you?” said Jeremy without breaking his stride.
The corner of Corinne’s mouth started twitching. What Jeremy said was irrefutable.
“No, Mister. I’m embarrassed by this. We’re on the Yonder
Bridge, for god’s sake. Every car passing by will think we’re crazy. They might even post our pictures on the Internet. We’ll have no choice but to hide under the rock should that happen.”
“We’re legally married, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
“But don’t you see how embarrassing this is for me?”
“Don’t worry. Any videos or photos that have my face in them cannot be posted without my permission.”
Corinne was speechless. ‘The videos and photos are beside the point! Why can’t he just see how embarrassing this is for me? People are definitely going to think we’re crazy for doing this on the Yonder Bridge.‘
She could not break free, and at the same time, she did not want to experience a social death, so she decided to bury her face in Jeremy’s chest like an ostrich. Jeremy would be the only one being humiliated as long as she did not show her face.
After a while, Corinne sensed that the wind had died down considerably, so she turned her head and glanced around to discover that they were no longer on the bridge. She immediately sighed with relief. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“Thank you, Mister. You must be tired of carrying me, so why don’t you let me down? I don’t mind walking now,” she said, hoping he would listen to her.
Jeremy leaned over and put her down safely. His eyes were twinkling mischievously when he said, “Just so you know, I didn’t put you down ‘cause I was tired of carrying you. In fact, you were as light as a feather.”
Corinne simply rolled her eyes. “Yeah sure, that is if the feather weighs thirty–six kilograms.”
Jeremy laughed softly and stroked her hair. “Oh, what am I going to do with you?”
Corinne was stunned and she turned beet red. ‘He’s such a flirt! Good thing I don’t fall for this kind of thing. If not…‘
She then looked around. “I don’t think it’ll be that easy to get a taxi here. There should be a subway station further up ahead. Let’s go, Mister. We’ll take the subway to the restaurant for dinner.”
Jeremy was willing to do whatever she said, so the two of them made their way to the subway station.
Once there, they lined up to buy their tickets from the automatic ticket machine. Corinne was just about to buy tickets when Jeremy deftly pushed some buttons, and the machine instantly spat out a pair of Line 7 subway cards that would allow them to pass through the central business district.
Seeing this, Corinne could not help but recall the time when Jeremy took the subway with her because the traffic was too congested to drive, as well as how he had to call Tommy for help in buying the tickets.
“Mister, you seem to know your way around the subway lines now.”
