She and him were like chalk and cheese, but somehow they just clicked. Everyone passing them by couldn't help but steal glances.
Out of the blue, Cornelia plucked up the courage and poked his face. "I'm flirting with my hubby. Can't you tell?"
Jeremy was left speechless.
This man, who never backed down in the business world, was now blushing. Flustered, he tried to change the subject. "How's Hannah's situation coming along?"
Cornelia teased him. "Hubby, why are you blushing?"
Jeremy grabbed her fidgeting hand. "We're discussing serious matters here."
Cornelia replied, "Discussing how much I miss you?"
Getting bolder with every move, Cornelia got Jeremy worried she might do something over the top in public. "Can we talk about Hannah?"
Taking into account Jeremy's health and Cornelia having just given birth, they both knew it wasn't the time for intimacy, so Cornelia decided to play it cool. She earnestly said, "With President Dixon involved, I'm not too worried. But Hannah doesn't trust him, and mending fences with her might not be easy."
Jeremy replied, "Steven saw the light earlier than Zavier, so there's still a shot."
Cornelia countered, "Not necessarily. Hannah has shared how Steven bullied her. He's really broken her heart. If I were her, I wouldn't forgive him."
Cornelia texted back, [Don't worry. I won't let him drink.]
Dr. Lester texted, [If you want a drink, I'll send over a couple of bottles of my homemade juice. It tastes like alcohol, but it's alcohol-free. You can treat it as wine.]
Cornelia responded, [When did you come up with this brilliant idea?]
Dr. Lester replied, [All for Marc.]
Jeremy's certain organs had been compromised, and there was no turning back. Dr. Lester had been thinking, that if Jeremy ever craved alcohol but couldn't consume any, it would be a real bummer. So, he began developing a special juice months ago. The juice tasted similar to alcohol but was non-alcoholic, so Jeremy could drink it whenever he felt like having a drink. Surprisingly, just as he finished creating this alcohol-free juice, it found its first takers.
