Chapter 1376

Don’t worry. Corinne is my sister, so I’ll definitely look after her even without you telling me to. I’m not

going to let anything happen to her,” said Lucas coldly.

“Thanks. Appreciate it,” said Jeremy.

“When do you plan to fly there?”

“Tonight.”

“Ahem! How about dinner together before you go?”

Jeremy was baffled by the invitation. “I thought she didn’t want me anywhere near the mansion?”

“Of course she doesn’t. She’s too good for a lying sc*mbag like you. But there’s no guarantee you

won’t be locked up by Adam once you leave, so tonight might be your last moment together with

Corinne. I just don’t want her to have any regrets when it comes to you. So, swing by for dinner tonight

before you fly off.”

Lucas wished Corinne could marry a man with a simple background if given a choice. She could live

her life peacefully, at least. Jeremy obviously was not the best choice he had in mind for her.

While it was true Jeremy had both power and wealth, he came from a very complicated background. In

other words, Corinne could never live a day in peace the moment she decided to be with him.

However, after seeing how Corinne risked her and the baby’s lives to look for Jeremy and to avenge

him last night, it hit Lucas just how much she cared about Jeremy. It could be said that Corinne would

not be able to let go of Jeremy that easily.

Consequently, Lucas knew Corinne would go to Jeremy’s rescue should anything happen to him in

Molomia. In a way, Corinne’s safety was tied very closely to Jeremy’s. Thus, being good to Jeremy

meant that Lucas was also being good to Corinne.

Corinne could go into labor at any moment, so Lucas could not afford to let her go through any shock

anymore. It was best for Jeremy to meet with Corinne so he could tell her where he was going. That

way, she would not worry or overthink too much.

Even though Lucas could have said what he said in a nicer way, Jeremy decided to look past his

rudeness and focus on the good.

“Your worries are unfounded, but thanks anyway.”

“Whatever. I’ll text you the time and location later.”

Lucas still remembered how he promised Corinne he would never let Jeremy anywhere near the

mansion, so he decided to have dinner outside.

After he hung up the phone, he called Corinne.

“Hey, Corinne.”

“Yes, Mister Lucas?” drawled Corinne lazily.

Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose out of resignation when he heard her reverting to calling him

‘Mister Lucas’ again. ‘I knew it. She called me Lucas last time because she was trying to throw me off

guard. She hasn’t forgiven me after all.’

“Corinne, let’s have dinner together tonight.”

“But we have our meals together every day,” deadpanned Corinne.

Lucas chuckled drily. “Tonight’s different. We’ll be eating out.”

“Where?” asked Corinne skeptically.

“Just get ready before dinner time. I’ll pick you and Sunny up after work.”

“Fine…”

After he hung up the phone, Lucas saw a text message from Jeremy, telling him the time and location

along with a simple text. [I’ll arrange everything tonight. You just need to bring her there.]

At 7 p.m., dressed in a pale yellow maternity dress with a scalloped edge, Corinne tied her hair up in a

bun and went out with Lucas.
