Chapter 1552:
“Hey, you. Is there something you need?” Corrine grabbed a pillow and tucked it beneath her head, leaning
weakly back against the headboard.
Rachel's lips pressed together briefly. “Nothing serious. | was just feeling a bit bored alone, and happened to
hear you were back, so | thought I'd cand see you.”
Happened to hear she was back?
Who told her?
Nate?
A chill crept into Corrine’s expression at the thought of that man.
In truth, Nate had called Rachel himself, asking her to check on Corrine and remind her to take her medicine on
time.
What could have been resolved with a simple phone call had instead required Rachel to make this visit. Rachel
didn’t need to guess that the two had likely quarreled over something.
Noting Corrine’s subtle coolness, Rachel grew more certain of her suspicion, though she was uncertain how to

With this awareness, Corrine drew a steadying breath, pushing down her inexplicable anger. She noticed Rachel's
slightly reddened eyes and frowned. “Why are you crying? Did you have a fight with Jules?”

Corrine found herself momentarily stunned into silence. She had thought Rachel was in a similar situation to hers
—having a fight with her partner. “If Jules bullies you, feel free to tell us,” Corrine offered. “Neither my uncles nor
grandpa would show mercy to him.”
At these words, Rachel tugged nervously at her clothes, her fingertips worrying the fabric. “I wish he'd pay more
attention to me,” she confessed in a soft murmur, “even to ‘bully’ me.”
The wistful regret in Rachel's expression prompted Corrine to raise an eyebrow. “Are we talking about the same
kind of bullying?”
Rachel paused, her thoughts momentarily suspended. Then her eyes widened with sudden embarrassment.
Fearing a misinterpretation, she hastily clarified, “Jules treatswell, but it's like he’s treating a guest—polite
yet distant. | always feel there's an invisible barrier between us. We seem close, but | don’t understand him at
all.”
