Chapter 797

Corinne was getting hungry at that hour too, and her fetus was growing bigger by the day. It was

natural for a pregnant woman to eat more than before, and she also got hungry very quickly unlike in

the past.

Like every grandfather and grandmother, they adored it when the younger generations enjoyed their

food. The old couple was no different, and they smiled warmly when they saw Corinne helping herself

to the food. They then took turns heaping up her plate with more food. Beatrice took some chicken

wing for Corinne when she noticed the peculiar way Corinne held her cutlery. She was taken aback for

a moment, and her pupils contracted as she looked at Corinne’s face.

Corinne had a quirky way of holding cutlery compared to most people, and the same

quirkiness had been present in their eldest granddaughter, Luna when she was still young. Beatrice

remembered the various methods she and her family used to try and rid Luna of that bad habit, but

they never succeeded.

A wave of sadness hit Beatrice when she thought of her missing granddaughter, Luna. When she saw

the similarities between Corinne and Luna, she began to doubt herself and speculate on Corinne’s

identity.

She had the feeling that Corinne looked similar to Luna when she first saw Corinne, and even

Corinne’s age seemed just about right, too. Though a person’s facial features would become vastly

different from when they were a child, their overall appearance and behavioral habits often remained

the same.

At first, Beatrice felt that she was overthinking things as it could not have been that big of a

coincidence. Nonetheless, Corinne’s overall appearance looked like that of her missing granddaughter,

and even their bad habit of holding cutlery was the same.

However, Luna had a signature cherry-red mole between her eyebrows, which Corinne lacked.

When Corinne placed the cutlery down and reached out to take a glass of water, Beatrice tentatively

asked, “Corinne, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m curious to know. more about your

family situation. You said before that your mother isn’t around anymore, so if you don’t mind me asking,

do you have any other family members?”

Corinne stopped drinking the water and replied calmly, “No. There’s no one else.”

Cedric felt that his wife’s question was a little inappropriate, so he reminded her, “Why are you asking

that sort of question again? Let her eat in peace!”

Beatrice ignored him as the urge to confirm her doubts was simply too strong. She stared intently at

Corinne’s face and asked, “Does that mean you have no family?”

Corinne nodded. “I guess you could say that.”

Beatrice then asked, “Did all your family members pass away?”

Cedric kicked his wife lightly under the table to stop her from asking any more questions, but she

merely glared at him and ignored his reminder.

Corinne sipped some more water and replied calmly, “After my mother left, I was sent to foster care in

the countryside. The relatives of my foster family didn’t like me, so they sent me

to the nunnery up the mountain, and I was raised by the sisters there. My so-called family members are

still alive, but they’re like strangers to me. It makes no difference whether they’re alive or not.”

Both the Carews and the Riveras were the same to her. She felt nothing for them.

Cedric had a distressed look after listening to Corinne’s life story. “Poor child. You might have had it

very rough when you were still young, but it’s all okay now. If you want, you can always treat our place

like your home!”

Corinne put down her cup and smiled brightly. “I really appreciate your kindness, Grandpa Cedric, but

I’m happy now. I have friends and a partner I consider to be my very own small family.”
