Chapter 1221

‘What’s my plan from here on out?’ Corinne was puzzled why Jeremy asked her that. She frowned and

tried to gloss over her answer. “My plan is to take one step at a time. What’s most important to me right

now is to live in the present.”

“My, you sure are one free-spirited woman,” said Jeremy with a scoff. “What I’m trying to ask is, the

baby you’re carrying is not yours alone. How are we going to split the custody?”

‘I knew it! He’s trying to steal the baby from me!’ Corinne’s eyes became resolute as she asked, “Mister

Jeremy, just who are you to ask me for the baby’s custody?”

Jeremy’s eyes darkened. He narrowed his eyes and retorted, “Well, who do you think I am?”

Corinne gulped down some water before answering, “To be honest, you’re no one to me. And we both

know the baby was an accident, but since they’ll be born soon, I’ll take care of them as best as I

can.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“As for the two of us? We were brought together by chance, but our relationship is finished now. We

never got legally married, so this baby has nothing to do with you. There’s no way you can win even if

you take me to court.”

Jeremy gazed at her stern expression. Suddenly, he smiled. “Miss Corinne, are you questioning the

capabilities of my team of lawyers or my power?”

Corinne got goosebumps from the way he smiled. “I’m not questioning anything. I’m just making my

own position clear. The baby belongs to me and me alone. No one can take them away from me!”

Jeremy grabbed her chin. “You should know I might not go through the official procedures to get the

baby.”

“Why you!” Corinne frowned and slapped his hand away. “You can ask your wife to give you a baby if

you want one so much! Why do you insist on taking away mine?”

‘My wife?’ Jeremy was a little shocked. “Do you mean…”

“Uncle Jeremy!” Annie suddenly appeared and asked him worriedly, “Are the two of you…fighting?”

While Annie pulled Marcus toward the table, she saw Jeremy pinching Corinne’s chin roughly and her

slapping away his hand. It was obvious Jeremy and Corinne were not getting along.

Jeremy turned to look at Annie. “No, we were just having a little chat,” he said coldly.

“Oh… Okay…” Annie pushed Marcus on his seat before sitting next to Corinne. Then she whispered,

“Corinne, was Uncle Jeremy being mean to you?”

Corinne shook her head. “No, it was just like he said. We were just having a little chat.”

Annie was at a loss for words. ‘Are they serious? Anyone with eyes could see they were fighting.’

She glared at Jeremy. “Uncle Jeremy, how can you fight with Corinne when she just came back? You

should apologize to her, or do you not want to live anymore?”

Jeremy glared at her. “Mind your own business.”

Annie was speechless.

Marcus did not know what was happening, but he could feel the tension in the air, so he tried to defuse

it by making small talk.

“Mister Jeremy, have you ordered? I’m sorry for not preparing any gifts for our first meeting, so if you

don’t mind, I would like to buy this lunch. Please order whatever you like.”
