"Never mind, why bother!"She got off the car in the courtyard of the Holden's estate.Tommy went to the back compartment to fetch her luggage, while Corinne stood by the car, gazing at this long-lost place without making a move for a long time.Jeremy, with his hands in his pockets, looked down at her from a higher position, squinting his eyes. "What are you standing there for? Don't you want to go in?"That's right, she did not feel like going in! Corinne glanced at the man and then strode toward the main gate of the Holdens on her own.Knowing the man's temperament, if she didn't move, he would just lift her up and forcefully carry her in again!Jeremy watched Corinne's slender figure, obediently cooperating but not looking so happy, and his brows furrowed in contemplation. Then, he followed her and went inside.Seeing their master walk away, the few servants who were sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard threw away their brooms and gathered together, buzzing with excite
Francine said indignantly, "Exactly! I saw Tommy carrying a suitcase when he came in. That must be Corinne's luggage! Hmph! Corinne is shameless. She left voluntarily, and now she's running back to seduce my brother, trying to ruin the relationship between you and my brother! I think her intentional disappearance before was just a ploy to make my brother want her more!"On the other end of the phone, Anya's expression was as grim as it could be. She tightly gripped her phone and gritted her teeth. She thought that today she would successfully get rid of the time bomb in Corinne's belly and have no worries in the future. But she never expected that Ayin would suddenly appear and carry Corinne out of the abortion operation room!What's even more infuriating is that this incident seems to have brought them back together? It's truly maddening! Anya was seething with anger. With this turn of events, everything she carefully planned before was all for nothing!After waiting for a long tim
Rosie's eyes shimmered slightly, "It-it's nothing! I just came to see if your previously sprained foot is feeling better?""Yeah, it's much better now. I can walk normally, but I still can't engage in intense physical activity.""That's good!"As Anya looked at Rosie, a hint of imperceptible disdain hid in her gaze. She easily saw through Rosie's intentions. Rosie always admired her brother, Lucas, and she would often find excuses to come to their house and play with her, but it was all to get closer to her brother!Staring at this 'good friend' who was infatuated with her brother, Anya suddenly came up with a plan! She quickly organized a lie and then pretended to sigh with sorrow, "Rosie, it's good that you came now. There's something, as a friend, I think I must tell you."Rosie blinked. "What's the matter?"With a melancholic expression, Anya said, "This morning, I went to the Central Maternity Hospital."Rosie looked worried. "Anya, what happened? Is there something wrong w
Anya nodded. "Yes, she promised my brother that she would abort the child, but she changed her mind when she got on the operating table, and I couldn't stop her."Rosie became furious upon hearing this. "What? Does she still want to keep Lucas's child? Doesn't she realize that she's not worthy of him? Anya, quickly tell me where that wretched Corinne is right now! I'll go find her! We absolutely cannot let that despicable woman keep Lucas's child and give her a chance to force a marriage with him!"Anya lowered her head in despair, pretending to wipe away tears. "Just now, Jeremy's sister Francine called me. She said Corinne went to the Huo family to find Jeremy again."Rosie couldn't understand. "What? Corinne went to the Holdens to find Jeremy again? What is she trying to do?"Anya looked dejected as if her clothes were trampled upon. Her voice carried a hint of helplessness and a sob. "I think it's because Corinne felt that she had no chance with my brother, so she turned back a
It was Joey.Previously, she kept pestering Jeremy to accompany her in adopting a child from overseas. However, the child still did not have an official name. Lately, she was not interested in taking care of the child herself and has left it to the nanny to handle all day long. Mostly, she was too lazy to take care of the child!This child used to have some value for her as a major excuse to cling to Jeremy and briefly hold his attention. But things are different now. Jeremy already knows that Corinne is carrying his child, so he won't care about this adopted child without a blood relationship. Thus, this child has become a burden, with no utility or value left. Anya never truly loved this child, aside from considering it as a tool for her benefit. She never had any genuine affection for the child.All the tenderness and maternal gestures she displayed toward the child in the past were only an act put on for Jeremy! When there was nobody around, she could not be bothered to preten
Anya only hesitated for a moment before quickly releasing her grip on the child's hand. She remained calm and discreetly covered the red marks on Joey's body that she caused, then gently pulled him closer to her embrace, soothingly saying, "Don't cry, don't cry, Mommy is here! Joey, don't cry, everything is fine!"Faced with the sudden change in his mother's emotions, Joey's crying subsided slightly, but he still felt very confused about what he did wrong.Lucas approached, his clear and thoughtful eyes filled with doubt. "Anya, what happened? Why is the child crying like this?"Anya looked up, her expression innocent and harmless. "Brother, you're back! It's, it's nothing. Joey accidentally fell and hurt himself just now. I was comforting him."The perplexity between Lucas's eyebrows dissipated, and he gently touched Joey's head. "A real man should be strong. You can't cry over a little bump or scratch!"Joey's face was tear-stained as he looked up at his uncle. With his limited
In broad daylight, are they not supposed to be sleeping?...Inside the room.Corinne stood in the center of the room, aimlessly looking around. This room was Jeremy's bedroom, the same room they used as their fake marriage bedroom before.The furnishings in the room appeared exactly as they did before she left, without any changes. However, her mindset was different upon returning.On the side, Jeremy's face showed no emotion as he coldly watched her, commanding, "You smell like disinfectant. Go take a shower and change your clothes!"Corinne snapped back to reality, lowering her head to examine her attire. She lifted her arm and sniffed her sleeve, indeed detecting the scent of hospital disinfectant.When she was at the hospital earlier, she already entered the operating room wearing a surgical gown provided by the nurse. Although she was quickly carried out of the operating room by this man, she did not have a chance to change back into her clothes, and the smell of disinfe
Corinne faced the provocative gaze of the man, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her heart suddenly fell into chaos. She, who was always eloquent and persuasive, suddenly did not know what to say."Mister Jeremy, you, you need to leave quickly!"She just wanted to drive him away and pointed her finger at the door of the bathroom.Due to her excited gesture, the man's gaze shifted downward, narrowing his eyes. That subtle look in his eyes was cunning like a wolf.Corinne suddenly realized that in her excitement, she did not forget to cover her chest. Embarrassed, she let out a scream, curled up into a ball, and hugged her knees tightly!"Jeremy Holden! You shameless person!"The little girl rarely called him by his full name so directly. It seemed that she was truly angry.However, the man laughed, amused by her confused and angry appearance.He raised his hand and with his rough fingertips, pinched her pointed chin, lifting her blushing little face. "I still prefer hearing
