Chapter 1297

It had been a long time since Corinne had such a good sleep. She did not know if it was because she

slept in the room she used to live in when she was a child.

A dreamless night was especially good in relieving fatigue.

When she woke up, she rubbed her eyes and got out of bed to freshen up. She then rummaged

through the closet to look for some clothes to change into. Lucas had prepared a lot of maternity

clothes for her. They were all brand new, and even the tags were still on.

Once she finally settled on something comfortable, she took off her pajamas and put on her maternity

clothes. Out of habit, the first thing she did after that was reach out for her phone. As soon as she

walked to the bedside table and picked up the phone to check the time, she saw Jeremy’s handsome

face on the screen.

“Gahh!” Corinne screamed in fright and stared at the phone. She could not accept that the video call

was still on and asked with a stammer, “Why… Why d—d—didn’t you hang up yet?”

The phone was rather warm because it was still on a video call throughout the entire night. It had been

connected to the charging cable, which would explain why the phone had not run out of battery.

Jeremy answered expressionlessly, “Why should I?”

Corinne’s lips twitched. She instinctively raised her head to check whether the camera was able to

capture her changing clothes on video—and it did!

‘D*mn it!’ She had a bad feeling that he might have seen her naked, but she hoped for the best and

asked, “Did you see everything?”

There was still a chance he might be busy with something else and was not paying attention to his

phone.

Jeremy’s expression remained unchanged, and he nodded. “Yes.”

Corinne’s hopes were shattered! She blushed and asked, “Ah! You… You pervert!”

Finally, there was a slight hint of emotion on his expressionless face, and a trace of playfulness

appeared on his lips. “I heard that a rounder belly means that the baby is a girl.”

Corinne’s scalp tingled, and her expression froze. ‘Ugh! He watched me so closely and even managed

to spot that my belly is round! He even had the nerve to predict that my baby is a daughter?’

There was a saying among the older generation that rounder bellies were signs of a girl, while more

pointed bellies meant that the baby was a boy. She was surprised that Jeremy heard such a saying

before.

That was not the point. The point was that Jeremy had looked at her naked body.

Corinne said unhappily, “Whether or not the child is a daughter has nothing to do with you! You’re a

disgusting peeping tom!”

Jeremy seemed to be in a rather good mood despite being scolded. He pursed his lips and smiled,

saying, “Go get your breakfast. I have an early morning meeting to attend to.”

Corinne hung up without answering him and felt incredibly shy after what happened. She had just

changed her clothes in full view of him, and she did not even wear any innerwear under her pajamas!

Jeremy saw her naked, and she was very frustrated because of that.

At that time, someone happened to knock on her door.

Corinne snapped back to her senses and shook her head to make herself forget the embarrassment

she had to face. She then went to the door and opened it.

Standing at the door was Sunny. He noticed her rosy cheeks and asked curiously, “Why is your face so

red? Did you have an enjoyable dream?”

Corinne was already annoyed, so she knocked his head and said, “I’ll smack you if you keep talking

nonsense, you little brat!”

Sunny covered his hurting head and said begrudgingly, “I’m not a brat!”
