Chapter 567

“Alright. Leave the soup. You should go back to the hospital and be with the child,” Lucas cut her off,

then he picked up the document on the table and looked through it. His cold attitude. clearly showed

that he did not wish to talk to her anymore.

The document in his hand happened to be the sales proposal Corinne just submitted. Looking at the

well-organized words and data, Lucas could not help but think about what Corinne said before she left,

regarding whether or not they should expand the sales of the food products.

He was thinking that if his sister, Lama, was still alive, would she have never had these food products

before because they were not promoted well enough? If she managed to have her favorite childhood

snacks, would she start reminiscing about their past and think of returning home to visit her brother?

Perhaps the sales proposal Corinne drew up could be implemented.

Seeing that her brother did not wish to listen to her or even take another look at her anymore, Anya felt

very awkward standing in the office. She had no clue what to do as she was stuck in at very difficult

position.

Sunny-who was working on the papers at the side-also felt that something was very wrong with the

atmosphere in the room. He looked up and glanced at his sister, then he looked at his indifferent

brother. He felt that something was very strange.

He sensed something was very weird when he was at home last night.

Ever since their childhood, his brother always doted on his sister the most. His brother would almost

always go along with whatever his sister said!

However, for some reason, his brother did not respond to his sister much last night. At that moment, his

brother was so cold to his sister.

This never happened in the past. What exactly was going on at that moment?

Anya gave it a thought, then she walked forward to put the thermos flask on Lucas’s desk. After that,

she said to his younger brother gently, “Sunny, stop working on your specimen paper for a moment. Go

outside and take a break. I have something I want to say to Lucas now. Come back later to have the

soup with Lucas later.”

“Oh, alright!”

That was exactly what Sunny wanted. He truly had no idea how to answer the question on the

specimen paper. He would only get scolded by his brother if he stayed in the office. Suddenly, his sister

gave him a chance to leave, so without hesitating at all, he put down his pen and rushed out of there!

After Anya saw that Sunny left, she turned around to look at Lucas, who was perusing the document

seriously. Anya hesitated for a moment, then said with a catch in her throat. “Lucas, do you hate me

now?”

Hearing his sister choking back a sob, Lucas looked up at her with a sense of exhaustion in his

complicated gaze. “Enough. Don’t cry so easily. You’re twenty now. You’re no longer a child. You

should know that crying would not resolve any problems”

Anya truly sensed an impending doom. Her brother would always immediately cheer her when he saw

her cry in the past. However, he did not do that that day. He was even a little annoyed that she cried.

“Lucas, I know what I did yesterday was wrong. I’ve been bad! But you have never given me a chance

to explain myself! I was forced to do it. I truly couldn’t think of any other way anymore.

Lucas picked up something questionable. He frowned and said, “You were forced to do it? Who forced

you?”

Anya wiped her tears, feeling aggrieved. Then, she told him the story she made up in advance, “I didn’t

want to use this method to drive Corinne away, but she bragged to me in the restroom that she was

pregnant, and she said it was Jeremy’s baby! I panicked. How could I compete with her? Lucas, my

body can never bear a child anymore, so how can I compete with Corinne who has a healthy and fertile

body? If Jeremy finds out she’s pregnant, he’ll push Joey and me aside. I was so scared. I was so

afraid that Corinne would use her pregnancy to steal Jeremy away from me. That’s why I became a

fool for a moment and used such an extreme method. I’m sorry, Lucas! I know I was wrong. I know I’ve

made a mistake.”

Lucas was dazed. Corine was pregnant?
