Chapter 1271

Tommy thought it was Annie who came since she would often drop by from time to time. Thus, he was

surprised when he opened the door and saw Sophia instead.

Sophia, however, was not surprised at seeing Tommy there. She knew Jeremy had arranged for him to

be there.

“Tommy. I’ve come to visit Corinne. Is she in?”

Tommy looked at her in surprise and with slight wariness. He was afraid that something bad would

happen again if they let the two women meet. After all, they did not start on the right foot during their

first meeting.

“Yes, she’s in. But may I know what’s the purpose of your visit?”

“I came to see how she’s doing and…to invite her to my birthday party,” said Sophia honestly.

Aaron looked like he was in a dilemma. “Well… Uh…”

Knowing what Tommy was worrying about, Sophia flashed a smile at him and assured him, “Don’t

worry, I’ve already told Jeremy I’m going to invite Corinne, and he’s okay with it.”

“Oh, I see. In that case, can you wait in the living room while I let Miss Corinne know you’re here? She

might be resting though, so don’t have your hopes up.”

Sophia shook her head. “It’s okay. Don’t wake her up if she’s resting. I can wait here for as long as it

takes. It’s not like I have anything better to do, anyway.”

Tommy was grateful for Sophia’s understanding. He quickly went to knock on Corinne’s door.

She was not sleeping but scrolling through her phone to shop for baby’s clothing. The baby was about

to be due soon, and she had many things she needed to prepare.

She got up to open the door when she heard the knock on the door.

“Miss Corinne, Miss Sophia has come to visit you,” said Tommy respectfully.

Corinne yawned. “Tell her I’m not home.”

“Uh… She already knows you’re home and is waiting in the living room for you,” replied Tommy

embarrassedly.

Corinne really did not care. She was about to close the door when Sophia walked over with a smile and

greeted her, “Hey, Corinne.”

A look of annoyance flashed through Corinne’s face. ‘So rude of her to step out of the living room when

she’s only a guest.’

“Hey, Sophia. What’s up?” asked Corinne with a superficial smile.

Sophia stopped in front of her and, within earshot of Tommy, said apologetically, “I want to apologize for

the misunderstanding yesterday and also invite you to my birthday party tomorrow night.”

She took out a beautiful invitation from her bag and handed it to Corinne. “You can bring your friends,

too! The more the merrier!”

Corinne accepted the invitation and gave it a cursory glance before saying, “Miss Sophia, do you

seriously think I can attend a birthday party with the condition I’m in?”

Sophia looked at Corinne’s protruding belly. “Of course you can!” she said confidently. “You can drink

juice instead of alcohol. I heard pregnant mothers can get even more sensitive if they stay at home all

the time, so you should come out more, Corinne. It’ll be good for both your body and mind if you hang

out and talk with some friends.”

Corinne smiled politely and gave her back the invitation. “Thank you for thinking of me, but I’m too lazy

and have no interest in joining pointless social events.”

Sophia quickly grabbed her hand and said ‘sincerely’, “You must come, Corinne! I don’t have any

friends here, so I really, really hope we can be friends. Can you please take some pity on me and just

come?”

Corinne pulled back her hand and shook it as though trying to get some dust off.
