Chapter 1409

Corinne’s eyes immediately dimmed. “Oh. Bring her to the living room to wait for me. And please ask

the kitchen to prepare lunch for one more person. She’ll probably stay for lunch.”

“Yes, Miss Corinne,” said the servant with a bow before going to do as he was asked.

Corinne led Joey back to the living room to meet with Annie. As soon as she entered the living room,

she saw Annie dragging a large box toward her.

“Hey, Corinne!”

Corinne looked down at the box before turning back to Annie with a raised eyebrow. “What’s this? Did

you run away from home?”

Annie waved dismissively. “Nope. I’ve specially prepared this for you, Corinne. Inside, you’ll find all the

things you’ll need for your stay in the hospital. I mean, the baby’s going to come out soon, right?”

Corinne’s lips twitched. She looked at the box, which was way bigger than a 24-inch luggage bag,

again and said, “I’ve got everything I need. There won’t be any place in the hospital room to put such a

huge box, so please return the things inside if you can.”

She had bought all sorts of mother-and-baby supplies, and Lucas also bought some for her.

Annie pouted. “Actually… Uncle Jeremy was the one who picked out everything inside. The only thing I

did was put them all into this box.”

Corinne was a little surprised. She raised an eyebrow and asked, “When did he get those stuff?”

“After he found you and when you wouldn’t give him the time of the day,” said Annie wistfully. “Uncle

Jeremy asked me a few times to take him to the mother-and-baby store to buy all the most expensive

things for you. He kept all the purchases at my place and told me to deliver them to you only when

you’re about to give birth to the baby. He was worried you’d throw it away if he gave it to you too soon.”

Corinne was quite touched to hear that. She nodded and said, “Okay. You can leave them here.”

Annie smiled coyly. “Oh, so you’re only willing to accept the things ’cause Uncle Jeremy bought them?

If that’s not love, I don’t know what it is!”

Corinne blushed. Since she had made up her mind to get back with Jeremy, she thought there was no

point in pretending otherwise anymore. “Of course I do! I both love and hate him.”

Annie blinked in confusion. “What’s a love-hate relationship like?”

Corinne shrugged. “It’s when you know he’s not your ideal type, like you’ll get really annoyed or angry

at the things he says and does sometimes. Somehow, though, you’re willing to accept everything about

him because it’s him.”

After thinking about it, Annie raised her head and asked, “Is Uncle Jeremy not your ideal type? Then

what is your ideal type?”

Corinne was starting to get tired from standing, so she led Joey to the sofa, and the two of them sat

down before she replied, “I like submissive guys who are like puppies, which is totally opposite from

your Uncle Jeremy. We all know how overbearing he can get sometimes.”

Annie sat down as well. “You’re right. Uncle Jeremy is no puppy. He’s more like a big, bad wolf. He and

your ideal type are completely opposite ends of the spectrum.”

“Oh well,” said Corinne with a wave of her hand. “It’s not like I can do anything about it now since I’m

pregnant with his child. I’ll just have to make do.”

Annie giggled. She knew Corinne did not mean it when she said she had to ‘make do’.

Suddenly, she saw Corinne’s belly moving. Out of curiosity, she put her hand on top of it and felt the

baby kicking!
