Chapter 1276
The Day I Kissed An Older Man
âHeh! I was right. All he cares about is the baby in my belly. Heâs worried something bad will happen to
the kid. What a worrywart!â thought Corinne.
As the babyâs mother, Corinne would never let anything bad happen or let Jeremy have anything to do
with him or her.
Corinne walked around Tommy, but he quickly ran up and stopped her again. âMiss Corinneâ¦â
âGet lost!â roared Corinne impatiently.
It was only then Tommy backed away in fright, allowing her to get into the car Xante arranged for her.
However, Tommy was not about to give up that easily. He ran up to the driverâs side of the car and said
something to the driver. The next second, Corinne saw the driver get out of the car to let him in.
Corinne was speechless. At that point, she was too lazy to deal with Tommy, so she let him have his
way. âWho cares who the driver is? As long as I get to the party safely.â
â¦
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Heartland Hotel. The valet respectfully opened the car door
and helped Corinne out of the car.
Tommy got out of the car too and handed the keys to the valet before quickly following Corinne into the
hotel.
Corinne had to walk slowly because of her baby bum, so Tommy walked slowly alongside her as
though afraid she would suddenly slip and fall.
The party was already in full swing by the time Corinne arrived. However, she paid no attention to the
guests and instead focused her eyes on the paintings on the wall to look for Nellie Nymphaeaâs
painting.
âCorinne!â someone called out her name
Knowing it was Sophia, Corinne did not bother to turn to her. Instead, she kept her eyes trained on the
walls.
Sophia walked up to her with a smile. âHey, Corinne! So glad you could make it! I knew you wouldnât
have the heart to turn me down.â
Corinne simply smiled at her and said nothing. âI didnât come here for you. I came here for my motherâs
painting! I must say, though, Sophiaâs good at pretending sheâs happy to see me here.â
Sophia looked at Tommy, who was behind Corinne, before looking to the left and to the right. âCorinne,
didnât Jeremy come with you?â
âWhat an interesting and laughable question. Why would she, his legally married wife, ask me, an
outsider, where her husband is?â thought Corinne mockingly.
Corinne smiled and said, âHow would I know whether he has come or not? You should call him yourself
if you want to know where he is.â
Sophiaâs brilliant smile never faltered. âYouâre right! Iâll do that in a minute!â
âMiss Sophia, thereâs no need to call Mister Jeremy. Heâs busy right now, so heâll come later,â explained
Tommy.
âOh, I see,â said Sophia with a nod. âIf thatâs the case, shall we go meet some of our mutual friends,
Corinne?â
