Chapter 1078

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 wind. Seriously, don’t forget you’re pregnant now. You need to

take care of yourself better,” said Jason with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

“Mister Jason, has anyone ever told you how meddlesome you are?” Corinne asked with a frown.

Jason shook his head. “Nope. Because I don’t usually treat everybody like how I treat you,” he said

with a smile.

At that moment, Corinne noticed how close Jason was sitting next to her. “Thank you, I’ll keep that in

mind. Now can you please move back to where you were sitting before? It’s inappropriate of you to sit

so close to a married woman.”

Jason shrugged nonchalantly before moving back to his seat.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

Corinne turned back to look out of the window, but it was not even five seconds later when Jason’s

voice was heard again.

“Corinne, I’m actually surprised Jeremy would allow you to come to a place like this alone when you’re

pregnant.”

Corinne was a little taken aback by Jason’s insinuation, but she did not say anything.

Tommy, however, could not stand Jason anymore. Fearing Corinne would start thinking too much, he

said, “I’m sorry, Mister Jason, but Miss Corinne is not here alone. Mister Jeremy instructed me to look

after her for these few days. I’m to protect her safety at all costs.”

Jason chuckled softly. “You’re right! I’ve nearly forgotten you’re here too, Tommy. But I still think it

should be the husband who accompanies his wife wherever she goes. I mean, it’s just a fact that an

employee can never replace the existence of a husband, right?”

Tommy frowned. “Well, Mister Jeremy is attending to some very important matters as we speak. But I’m

sure he’ll make it up to Miss Corinne once he’s back. There’s really nothing for you to worry about,

Mister Jason.”

Jason pursed his lips. “Of course, of course. Jeremy likes Corinne so much, so it’s not surprising he’ll

treat her well. Forgive me for not keeping my big mouth shut.”

Corinne never said a word from the beginning to the end.

…

It took them 15 minutes to arrive at Athene Convent, where Corinne grew up. She looked at the

entrance plaque absent-mindedly before turning to Jason, saying, “Mister Jason, I’m going to drop by

the convent for a while. I assume you won’t have any interest in following me inside, so you can either

wait in the car or walk around.”

Jason gazed at her intently while smiling nonchalantly. “Well, your assumption is wrong. I might as well

go inside with you since I’m here.”
