Chapter 1071

Corinne would hate to be one of those women whose whole world revolved around a man. Previously, she left Jeremy once because of the misunderstanding Anya caused, so she did not want to make the same mistake again.She would wait for Jeremy to return and explain everything to her, but until then, she had to brace herself for the worse. As a matter of fact, she was proud of herself for being so clear-headed. After all, how could she expect her husband to be loyal when her own father was a dirtbag who betrayed her mother?Also, she read many reputable social research reports that said the probability of men cheating on their pregnant wives was very high. Previously, she thought Jeremy was better than most men, or at least he was not the fickle type. However, the recent incident made her believe all men, with no exception, were the same; they all liked to sow their seeds around."Okay, I'll ask him when he returns," said Corinne.Seeing how listless Corinne looked, Tommy became worrie

Corinne smiled at Phoebe coolly. "Miss Phoebe, why are you so worked up? I haven't even said anything."Phoebe became even more irked at Corinne's nonchalant attitude. She hated how her words had no effect on her."You might be cocky now, Corinne, but mark my words—you're not going to last long with the Holdens either!" she said through gritted teeth. "Do you really think they'll like a country bumpkin like you? I'm willing to bet Jeremy will soon be sick of you. Then, he'll ask you to get as far as possible from him."Corinne remained unfazed. "Thank you for your wise words, Miss Phoebe. But can we get to what I came to talk about now? I'm sure you've been told of my reason for coming here. Joey is of no use to you now, and you seem to have no interest in raising him. Why don't you let me take him away? That way, everyone gets a happy ending."Phoebe widened her eyes in anger. "Dream on if you think I'm going to let you do that! He's my grandson, and Anya got him fair and square!

In the end, Phoebe said sulkily, "Wait here. I'll go check if he's woken up from his nap."Corinne smiled, satisfied. "Okay. Thank you, Miss Phoebe."After a while, Phoebe came back with Joey.Joey looked fearfully around the room. His eyes immediately lit up when he saw Corinne, but they quickly dimmed again.Even though growing up in the orphanage turned Joey into a sensitive and insecure child, Corinne still remembered the look of awe in his eyes when she first met him.That was why it was especially jarring for her to realize Joey had become so fearful through his stay with Anya and Phoebe that he did not even dare to look others in the eye anymore. His whole body language screamed how he wished he was dead.Corinne could not help but see herself in him.She waved him over. "Come here, Joey."Joey instinctively took a few steps back before turning up his head to look at Phoebe.Phoebe thought there was no point in stopping Corinne from talking to Joey since she already bro

However, Corinne quickly took a deep breath to compose herself. All her hard work would be in vain if she blew up.She smiled at Phoebe nonchalantly. "I hope you don't mind, Miss Phoebe, but I'm going to stay here for a while since you're not willing to let me take Joey with me. Plus, the mountain air will be good for the baby in my womb."Joey looked up happily at Corinne when he heard she was going to stay.Phoebe looked annoyed at first, but an idea suddenly came to her mind.She smiled cunningly. "Of course you're more than welcome to stay. I was feeling a bit lonely anyway, so I'll be glad to have someone to talk to.""Great. That settles it, then."Tommy frowned with worry. "Ma'am, I don't think that's a…"Corinne knew what he was going to say, so she chimed in, "It's going to be fine. I'm only going to stay for a few days."After that, she stood up and took Joey's hand. "Joey, can you please give me a tour of the villa?"It seemed Joey had become scared of human touch a

After Corinne woke up, she came out to see Tommy standing straight at the door."Tommy, you can let your guard down a little. Miss Phoebe isn't stupid enough to do anything to me for the time being," she said while massaging her temples."Ma'am, it's better to be safe than sorry. Miss Phoebe always looks like she wants to strangle you," said Tommy with a frown.Corinne smiled. "As if she could ever do that."Tommy sighed. "Ma'am, are you sure you want to stay here? Honestly speaking, Mister Joey looks fine to me. Why don't you wait until Mister Jeremy is back? The two of you can pick Mister Joey up together afterward."Corinne could not help but feel her heart ache whenever she thought of poor Joey."You can't possibly think he's being treated well here. He might not be Jeremy's biological son, but that doesn't mean I can just abandon him here! The moment Jeremy adopted him is the moment he committed to taking care of him, for better or for worse. Plus, I'm pretty sure Jeremy won

Corinne gazed at Jason for a while before giving him a superficial smile. "I couldn't agree more. It's so much of a coincidence that I can't help but think this was planned."Jason put his cheek on his hand and looked at Corinne flirtatiously. "You're overthinking this. I really didn't know you were going to be here.""Is that so?" uttered Corinne curtly. She was not interested in what he was doing there, so she did not continue the conversation any further. Instead, she picked up her cup to drink the free coffee provided by the homestay.However, Jason snatched the cup before it even got close to her lips.Stunned, Corinne looked up at Jason unhappily. "What did you do that for?"Jason took a sip from the cup of coffee he took from Corinne. "You're pregnant. You shouldn't drink any coffee."Corinne frowned. "It's perfectly fine to have just a little!"Jason shook his head. "Nope, you can't even have a little. Drink some water if you're thirsty. Best to avoid tea and coffee if y

Corinne paid no mind to what Jason said. She continued eating as though nothing happened.Jason was not really eating by then. He rested his cheek on his hand and gazed at her seductively until she finished eating."I see you're not a picky eater at all, Corinne. The food here isn't really that great, don't you think?""You can't expect a homestay restaurant to taste like a three-star Michelin restaurant, can you?" replied Corinne indifferently."I'm just giving my objective opinion. The food is really not that great. How about I bring you to an authentic farm-to-table restaurant tomorrow? You'll know what I say is true then.""Thanks, but no thanks," said Corinne disinterestedly. "We won't be interrupting your holiday now, Mister Jason. Tommy, go pay the bill."Tommy nodded and went to the counter to pay the bill. However, not only did the waiter refuse to take his money, but he handed over some change to him. "Mister Jason has paid for the food. This is the change."Tommy frow

Jason chuckled lightly. "I'm flattered you think so highly of me, Corinne, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm now here alone. So what do you say? Could I please join you for a drive?"Corinne was speechless. It was obvious Jason was not going to take no for an answer.Tommy looked at Corinne through the rearview mirror. "Ma'am, should I…"Corinne did not want to waste her breath arguing with Jason anymore as the sun was about to set. Thus, she waved and said, "Forget it. Just drive."Tommy frowned and nodded. 'I need to report this to Mister Jeremy as soon as possible.'The car drove along the winding mountain road. Corinne looked out at the breathtaking scenery outside the window, thinking how nice it would be to let the mountain air wash over her skin. Thus, she started rolling down her window. Before she could even get far, however, Jason reached out and rolled it back up.Corinne glared at him. "What do you think you're doing?""You'll get a headache from the cold win

Corinne could not fathom how Jason could still smile so frivolously in such a solemn place."You can come in with me, but please behave. This isn't a place playing jokes or games," said Corinne sternly.Jason immediately stopped smiling and nodded seriously. "Okay. You have my word."After that, the two of them got out of the car.Worried about leaving Corinne alone with Jason, Tommy quickly parked the car a little distance away before getting out to follow them into the convent too.Corinne could smell the scent of sandalwood the moment she stepped into the convent. Though it was not a popular place for worshipers to come, there were still a few of them offering prayers up at the altar.Corinne slowly walked inside and looked around. She noted that the place looked just as it was before. In other words, nothing had changed in all the years she had been gone. She stepped over the threshold to enter the main hall, and she then saw a middle-aged nun tending to a worshiper.After c

Chapter 1080

It was only through Mother Cathrina's insistence that Corinne was allowed to stay in the convent. After that, during all the years Corinne was living in the convent, Mother Kalista would always gripe about her existence to Mother Cathrina and, from time to time, would suggest sending her to the orphanage instead.However, Mother Cathrina never wavered in her decision. She kept Corinne close by her side, causing the other nuns to resent her and take Mother Kalista's side. Seeing Mother Cathrina getting ostracized because of her, Corinne did what she could to make her life easier. She took up most of the chores in the convent and ate as little as possible to burden anyone.As time passed, the other nuns slowly accepted her. No longer did they threaten to send her to the orphanage. That was until, not caring about the other nuns' objections, Mother Cathrina borrowed money from the convent's fund to pay for Corinne's education. Not surprisingly, the bullying started again after that.Co
