The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1639

Chapter 1639:

The idea of Corrine having a boyfriend—it didn’t compute. In his mind, she wasn’t someone who could belong to anyone. She was… above all that. Too untouchable. Too sacred.

Yet while he’d been away, someone had dared to step into her world. Someone had slipped past his watch, touched what shouldn’t be touched, and tainted his angel. Unforgivable.

And if he ever found out who it was, that man would regret it for the rest of his miserable life.

Corrine glanced back at him. His expression was a readable map of every emotion storming through him. She arched a brow. “My boyfriend. You coming?”

“Yes!” he blurted, far too fast. His mind hadn’t caught up, but his mouth had already made the decision for him.

Taylor drove them back ten minutes faster than Corrine had earlier. Clearly, he was eager to meet this daring boyfriend.

At the Serenity Garden parking lot, Taylor stalked close behind Corrine like a well-trained hound, sharp-eyed and ever-present. Anyone who dared glance at her for too long met the full weight of his scowl.
