Chapter 1179

The triplets ran off to play and Anne got up to follow them. “Don’t cause any trouble!”

Beth chuckled. “They are so adorable. I envy you.”

“Get Jeremy a wife and he can make you grandchildren, too,” Cory said.

Jeremy frowned. “It's too early for me. We have a couple right here, don't we? They are engaged

now and could just skip the wedding to go straight to getting pregnant!” Meredith glanced at

Corentin happily and wrapped her arms around his.

She was overjoyed, even if Corentin had remained quiet the entire time. She had waited for so long

for this day to come; once they shared a bed later that night, she would be able to bear his child.

Beth glared at Jeremy. Though he merely stated a fact, it was not appropriate for him to say such a

thing in public. “You are old enough. Don't worry about us and bring home a girlfriend. I promise

that I will treat your girlfriend well.”

“And if I bring home a girl who grew up in the slum?” Jeremy asked.

Beth tensed, and silence fell over the group.

A family of their status could never accept a woman from the slum as one of them, and she

wondered for a moment if Jeremy was serious or just trying to infuriate her.

Just as Jeremy's father, Marshall, was about to lecture him, Meredith said, “What are you talking

about, Jeremy? We are one of the most powerful families here in Athetin. We will be the joke in

town if one of us marries someone from the slum. What do you think this is, a TV show of the

typical Cinderella story?”

Jeremy glanced at Corentin. “What do you think, Corentin?”

Corentin twirled the wine in his glass elegantly. “Meredith is right.”

Seeing how he sided with her, Meredith was about to lean her head onto Corentin’s shoulder when

Corentin got up. “I need to use the washroom.”

All the food served in the hall was of top quality. There were cakes, snacks, and seafood that cost

thousands, and even wine that cost tens of thousands.

Food that ordinary people could not imagine seeing for their entire lives was laid out on the table

for the guests’ picking.

Anne was helping the triplets with their plates.

The three were not tall enough to reach the table and tip-toed to scan their options before

demanding whatever they wanted.

The waiters next to them placed whatever the triplets ordered onto the trays. Seeing that there was

more than enough food on the tray, Anne reminded, “We won't be able to finish them if you take

too much.”

“Just leave them if you can't finish.” Corentin walked over.

She turned around, not expecting Corentin to approach her.

On his way here, he was loosening the watch around his wrist as though it was fastened too tightly,

which baffled Anne. However, Corentin seemed to be his usual self and even helped place some

fruits onto the triplets’ trays.

“We want to sit there!”

“Mama, come!”

“Mama hasn't gotten any food!"

"You three go ahead and save me a seat. I'll be right over.”

"Okay!" The three immediately waddled over like three tiny penguins

Once the children were gone, Anne asked, “Uncle, are you really getting engaged with Meredith?”

“We are holding the party now, so yes.” Corentin reached for a glass of champagne and took a sip.

"What... about Ashlynn?” She lowered her voice.

Corentin stared at the campaign in his and lifted an eyebrow. “You went to see her?”
