Chapter 434


    By the time Jeremy turned around, Corinne and the others were already nowhere to be seen in the


    hospital corridor.


    ‘Was it my imagination? I could’ve sworn I heard a little rascal’s voice just now,’ thought


    Jeremy.


    Anya came back with the medicine. “Jeremy, I got the medicine for the baby. We can go back. now.”

    Jeremy nodded. The toddler with his head resting over Jeremy’s shoulder


    off and the three of them walked over to the elevator.


    already dozed


    Anya was glowing with pride and happiness when she realized all the passers-by were looking at her


    with admiring eyes. She tilted her head to look at the handsome man with her child in


    his arms.


    ‘I can’t believe I’m finally living my dream life. From this moment onward, Jeremy, me, and our baby are


    going to live happily ever after.’


    Corinne, Xante, and Aaron were back in the minivan.


    While driving, Xante took a nce at Corinne from the rearview mirror. “Boss, where to now? ” she


    asked cautiously.


    “Take me back to Holden’s estate,” said Corinne lightly.


    Aaron frowned. He turned around and asked in a frustrated tone, “Why are you still going back there


    when Mister Jeremy betrayed you like that?”


    Corinne squinted her eyes as she calmly looked at the passing scenery outside the window. The time is


    not up yet. Our agreement states that we have to stay together for three months. and today is thest


    day so I need to stay in the Holden’s estate until midnight for it to count. I must uphold my end of the


    deal.”


    Although Aaron admired Corinne’s rigor, he could not but feel helpless as well. “Boss, are you okay?”


    Both Xante and Aaron could tell Corinne fell for Jeremy. They never saw the kind of tenderness on


    Corinne’s face when she found out she was pregnant.


    Corinne smiled and replied softly, “There are plenty more fish in the sea and this too shall pass.”


    “What are you going to do about the baby growing inside your tummy?”


    “Whatever will be, will be. Besides, Jeremy has good genes and I got his sperm for free. I’ll just


    treat it like I went to the sperm bank to have a baby on my own.” She then closed her eyes


    from exhaustion and added, “I’m going to nap for a while. Wake me up when we’ve reached the ce.”


    Xante and Aaron looked at each other helplessly and said nothing.


    Corinne leanedzily against the backseat, but she failed to fall asleep. She would be lying if she said


    she was not sad. Jeremy was nothing but kind, gentle, and epting to her as ofte. She liked how


    meticulously he took care of her and listened to her.


    Her fate was one of hardships from the very start. Therefore, she was cared for so lovingly so much


    that she had the illusion that Jeremy was different from any other man and that she could depend on


    him.


    This made her want to open her heart to him to the extent that she even began to seriously consider


    whether to spend the rest of her life with him. In the end, she realized it was nothing


    but a lie.


    She, just like any other woman, fell for the oldest trick in the world.


    ‘Oh well. I guess I’ve learned my lesson,’ She would only admit how sad she was to herself but the


    level of sadness was not enough for her to have a breakdown.


    All she felt was a little pain in her chest. ‘This is nothingpared to all the hurt I lived through in the


    past. It’ll pass soon, Corinne. All pain does,’ she told herself.


    Bowen immediately greeted Corinne when he saw here back.


    “Hello, ma’am. Have you had lunch?”


    Corinne changed into her indoor slippers and walked into the foyer. “Not yet, Bowen. Can you ask the


    kitchen to make something light and refreshing for me?”


    “Certainly, ma’am. I’ll have the maid deliver the food to your room once it’s ready,” replied Bowen.
