Chapter 429
Aaron and Xante nced at each other. Both of their hearts went out to Corinne. Since she was little,
Corinne never experienced what it felt like to have the love of a family. Instead, she was sent to the
countryside to suffer all kinds of hardships. They saw with their own eyes the amount of blood, sweat,
and tears for Corinne to get to where she was today.
Seeing Corinne so down, Aaron decided to change to a more cheerful topic. “Boss, let’s go and have
fun at the bar now that you’ve gotten your engagement gifts back.”
‘Drinking in broad daylight? No thanks!’ thought Corinne. She was in no mood to be drinking so she
waved her hands and said, “Aaron, go find out if any grand mansions have been. demolished in
Thssa in the past twenty years. If there is, find out the original owner of the mansion. Also, send
someone to find out about an ex-student called Em Love in Thssa University and send me the
information once you have it.”
Aaron could send this was important to her so he asked seriously, “Em Love, is that your mother’s
name?”
Corinne nodded. ‘Mister Carew might think my mom has been killed by her enemy but I have a feeling
she’s still alive.”
Xante turned around and pushed up her gold-rimmed spectacles. She then frowned when she saw how
pale Corinne was. “Maybe we should get something to eat first. Look at how skinny she has be!”
Aaron looked at Corinne and nodded in agreement with what Xante said. He then smiled and teasingly
said, “Boss, don’t tell me you have no appetite because you’re missing Mister Jeremy too much. A
good meal is a balm for the soul! It’ll be my treat today so what do
you wanna eat?
Xante side-eyed him. “You’re buying her lunch? Has it ever crossed your mind that you won’t be where
you are today if it wasn’t for her? Why, you wouldn’t even have two pennies to rub together!”
Aaron was not in agreement with her. “That’s why I’m buying her a meal! What’s so wrong. with that?”
Xante was annoyed with him. She pushed up her gold-rimmed spectacles and scoffed. “Let’s go to
have some grilledmb chops then. The weather’s getting colder and eatingmb can warm us up. The
boss has always loved the fat on themb at this time of the year.”
At the mention of grilledmb chops, Corinne immediately thought of the smell and taste of very well-
done grilledmb chops. Usually, she would be salivating at the thought but for some reason, she felt
sick to the stomach this time.
Suddenly, she could not control herself anymore. She quickly rolled down the window, poked
her head out, and started retching. After a while, she felt better and popped her head back into the car.
While taking some deep breaths, she noticed both Xante and Aaron were looking at her as if they were
wondering whether she was.
They grew up together so she, of course, knew what they were thinking from the way they were looking
at her. Corinne scrunched up her face and said, “Oh, stop looking at me like that. It’s not what you think
I’m just feeling a little queasy in the stomach, that’s all.”
It was obvious Aaron thought she was pregnant. He smiled mischievously and said, “Oh really? Then
tell me something, boss. Have you and Mister Jeremy been using protection all this while?”
Corinne yawned nonchntly. “There’s no need for that since we sleep in separate bedrooms.”
Aaron drew his brows together. “What? And let all that hotness go to waste? How can you bear to
sleep apart from such a hot guy, boss?”
Xante could not bear to listen to where the conversation was going anymore. She pped Aaron hard
on the arm and said, “Hey, just whose side are you on? Our boss is the hot one in the rtionship,
okay? Mister Jeremy should count himself lucky to have her as his wife!”
“Ouch!” Aaron massaged the spot where Xante pped him. He thenughed and said, “I guess you’re
right.”
Xante rolled her eyes at him and added, “But, to be on the safe side, you should get a pregnancy test
at the drugstore for her.”
