Chapter 1075

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’t sit by and do

nothing if he saw how scared Joey was of Phoebe.”

Tommy opened his mouth to say something but decided against it. ‘She’s right. Mister Jeremy won’t sit

by and do nothing. He has a very strong sense of responsibility. If not, he wouldn’t have let Miss Anya

use him for so many years to pay her back for saving his life.’

Corinne waved her hand dismissively, signaling to Tommy that was the end of the discussion. “You can

go back to New Capital City if you have something else to do. I can handle everything here myself.”

Tommy would never leave Corinne alone. He shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, Ma’am. I don’t

have anything waiting for me back in the city, so it’s no problem for me to stay here with you.”Books

Corinne knew nothing she said would make Tommy leave, so she rubbed her belly and said, “I’m

starving. Get the kitchen to make something for me to eat.”

“Ma’am, it’s fine if you want to stay here, but it’s best not to eat anything made by the servants here.

What if Miss Phoebe decides to poison your food as revenge?” said Tommy warily. “It’ll be disastrous if

you eat the food. We’re in the mountains where the good hospitals are miles away, so it’s best not to

eat the food here.”

Even though Corinne knew Tommy’s worry was not unfounded, she still was not happy about his

suggestion. “So you’d rather I starve?”

Tommy waved his hand. “No. I can bring you out to eat if you’re hungry. The local government is trying

to develop this area into a tourist destination, so there are some nice homestays nearby where you can

dine in.”

Corinne frowned. “And you’re not worried I’ll eat something I shouldn’t have in the homestays?”

Tommy smiled. “Well, dining there is a much safer option compared to dining here. But, the best option

is to go back home. If not, Mister Greg and Miss Pamela will be worried about you.”

Corinne went back into her room to put on a jacket. “Cut the crap and bring me to the homestay now.

As for Grandpa Greg and Grandma Pamela, I’ll call them later to explain everything.”

Tommy nodded helplessly. “Yes, Ma’am.”

Corinne wanted to bring Joey with her to dine at the homestay too, but she did not even need to ask

Phoebe to know she would never let Joey step out of the villa. Thus, Corinne quickly gave up on the

thought.

Tommy drove her to the best homestay in the area. After they made their order, he went to the kitchen

to supervise the whole cooking process.

‘He’s taking the whole caution thing a bit too far, isn’t he?’ thought Corinne with a frown.

At that moment, someone pulled out the chair across from her.

Corinne looked up in a daze and saw a familiar, devilishly handsome face.

“What a coincidence seeing you here, Corinne. Are you here for a holiday too?” greeted Jason.
