Chapter 179 The Heart, A Slight Sting
Corbin took out his phone again and played a video.
“Look, the robot was like this...”
Audrey looked at the robot in Corbin’s phone, her rosy lips slightly pursed.
Dad's insomnia was caused by psychological issues. He was obsessed with his love for mom. Medication had little effect on him, and only by hearing her voice could he alleviate his symptoms.
This robot indeed solved the pressing issue of dad’s insomnia.
Corbin’s gaze fell on Audrey's palm-sized face. Her skin was thin, delicate, and pale. Up close, it was like uncut jade, crystal clear, smooth, and flawless, without a single blemish to be found.
She had her long, butterfly—like eyelashes slightly lowered, under her delicate, jade—like nose were her beautiful, rhombus— shaped lips, exuding a rosy glow, inexplicably making one want to k*ss them.
Corbin didn’t know what had gotten into him recently. Audrey wasn’t chasing after him anymore, but he found himself constantly pining for her. Every time he saw her, he felt like he just couldn’t get enough!
Sterling, who was playing basketball on the court, was pulled by Eden to the auditorium.
“Sterling, how could you be at ease with Audrey being alone with Corbin? | see Corbin is ready to steal her from you at any moment,
vou better come over and check-”
Sterling casually strolled into the hall, hands tucked into his pockets.
Upon seeing the scene on stage, a layer of cold frost immediately covered his handsome brow, giving it a gloomy and stern look. Dark pupils, staring intently at Corbin, were filled with a sinister and cold aura.
Was Corbin asking for trouble?
Watching Audrey's eyes darken with desire, her Adam’s apple sliding up and down, it was clear she was filled with longing.
And Audrey, surprisingly, stood by his side, oblivious to his abnormality.
Sterling’s hands, which were in his pockets, suddenly clenched into fists.
After Audrey finished reading the robot's function section, she
suddenly noticed something was off. She looked up and met a pair of gloomy and cold eyes.
She shivered involuntarily.
She returned the phone to Corbin. Audrey strode towards Sterling.
Sterling ignored Audrey, turned around, and walked away briskly. before she could approach.
Audrey had chased him for quite a distance before finally catching up with him on the playground. She grabbed his arm, “Why are your walking so fast? There’s nothing going on between Corbin and me. Can’t you at least hear me out before getting angry-”

Before she could finish her words, he had already withdrawn his arm
The force was a bit too strong, Audrey momentarily lost her balance, her slender b*dy stepping back several steps.
The two people looked at each other from a distance of a few steps
away.
His eyes, dark and cold, stared at her as if trying to bore holes through her. His thin lips, under his high—bridged nose, were tightly pressed into a straight line, his facial features taut and sharp. “Explain what? Explain how you were so engrossed in his phone, oblivious to his lewd. and vulgar gaze at you?”
Audrey really didn’t notice the way Corbin was looking at her. Seeing the mockery and sarcasm in Sterling’s eyes, Audrey’s heart ached slightly.
“Did you think | deliberately let Corbin look at me like that? Or did you think that while | was making promises to you, | was also flirting with him, playing both sides? Sterling, in your heart, am | really that despicable, a flirtatious woman?”
Audrey didn’t want to talk to him anymore either. Both of them were angry, and if they continued to talk, the conflict might escalate!
Audrey studied his manner in the auditorium, then turned to leave. But before she could take two steps, a tall and thin figure blocked her way.
The young boy had his hands in his pockets, a somewhat unnatural expression on his taut, handsome face. His black eyes were like splashed ink, thick and bottomless. “I didn’t think so,” he said.
