Chapter 1226

Jeremy glowered. “Miss Corinne, I don’t care if you don’t want to live, but you shouldn’t take the baby’s

life as a joke!” he said contemptuously.

Corinne slapped away his hand in disgust. “Stop being a worrywart! No baby ever died from the mother

eating some carrots!”

Jeremy pulled back his hand, put down his fork, and stared at her as if looking into her soul.

Corinne did not like how he looked at her, so she stood up and said, “I feel like I’m going to throw up.

Please excuse me while I go to the restroom!”

She then walked away without waiting for anyone’s response.

Annie watched Corinne leave before turning to ask Jeremy, “Why did you do that, Uncle Jeremy? You

made her angry again!”

Instead of answering her, Jeremy simply stared at Corinne’s back silently.

…

Corinne walked slowly since she was already eight months pregnant by then. However, before she got

to the restroom, she ran into Pamela and Francine. Both were walking as fast as they could to find her.

“Corinne! Look, Grandma! It is Corinne!” shouted Francine excitedly while holding onto Pamela’s

elbow.

Corinne stopped walking when she heard someone calling out her name. She then turned and was

surprised to see Pamela and Francine.

She forcibly smiled and said, “Grandma. How have you been?”

Pamela started to get teary. She walked up and held Corinne’s hands before looking her from head to

toe worriedly. “Corinne, where have you been for the past six months? I miss you so much every

day!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“Oh, uh… I went to a place with beautiful scenery. I had a very good time there.”

Pamela sighed. “No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it’s important for you to stay at home for the

baby’s sake. Look at you. You’re already eight months pregnant, but you don’t have the pregnancy

glow anymore. It pains me to think how much hardship you must’ve suffered outside.”

“Grandma, I didn’t suffer any hardship. Like I said, I had a very good time on my own,” explained

Corinne helplessly.

Pamela paid no mind to what she said. It was as if she was in her own world. She held Corinne’s hand

tightly and nagged her to take care of herself more.

Corinne did not want to have too much interaction with anyone from the Holden family, but she felt it

would be rude to act coldly toward an old woman. Thus, she forced herself to go along with whatever

Pamela said.

At the same time, she could not help but feel a pair of hostile eyes were on her. She turned to where

she thought the gaze was coming from.

Sophia smiled and walked up to her. She held out her hand for a handshake.

“Hello, Miss Corinne. I heard so much about you! It’s so great to finally meet… Ah, forgive me. This

isn’t our first time meeting, isn’t it? I mean, we met yesterday, right?”

Sophia was able to correctly guess that Corinne was Moon by her body language.

Corinne looked at her. At that point, there was no need to hide her other identity. She smiled and said,

“Yes. Fancy seeing you again.”

However, she did not shake her hand. Thus, Sophia had no choice but to awkwardly put down her

hand. To her credit, she kept her smile.

Initially, Corinne still had kind feelings toward Pamela. She was grateful to the old woman for taking

care of her before, but that feeling disappeared when she saw Pamela had brought Sophia with her.

Not wanting to talk to Pamela anymore, Corinne pulled her hands back and said, “Excuse me, but I

need to go to the restroom for a bit. Mister Jeremy’s table is right ahead. Please find him there.”
