Chapter 444


    After staring at each other for ten seconds, Corinne thought that she should eat the duck meat on her


    fork. After that, she wiped her mouth and said, “Mister Talbot, thank you for giving me information about


    Nellie Nymphaea but I have yet to verify the veracity of it. Therefore, I would need to look into it more


    as for the other matter. Well, let’s talk about it again sometime in the future.”


    ‘She’s willing to talk about it?’ This was better than Jason expected. At least there was still some hope


    for him.


    “Corinne, I’m not going to force you but I hope that I’ll be the first person thates into your mind


    whenever you need someone to help you.”

    Corinne smiled. “I see that you’re as kind as ever, Kind Sir. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.”


    The reason she told Jason she would be willing to talk about the matter of their “rtionship” sometime


    in the future was that she knew that he would not stop talking her ears off if she rejected him directly


    now. She wanted to be spared from all that talking.


    Jason looked at her hopefully. “Then do you mind if we exchange phone numbers with each other?”


    After giving it some thought, Corinne took out her phone and passed it to him. Jason was a little taken


    aback but he immediately understood what she wanted him to do. After taking her phone, he saved his


    number on it and then proceeded to call himself with the same phone. Then, he took out his ringing


    phone and saved the number shown on the screen. Finally, he


    gave


    back the phone to Corinne.


    “Thanks, Corinne. You can’t imagine how happy I am,” he said with a smile.


    Corinne smiled too. “Well, you should eat more to celebrate. The food won’t be as nice once


    it’s cold.”


    “I’ll be even happier if you can call me Jason.”


    “You got it, Kind Sir.”


    Jason chuckled. He knew it would not be that easy for him to change her mind. He then dug in on the


    food on his te and the two of them changed the topic to something a little less


    serious.


    When they came out of the restaurant, the row of TVs disyed in the electronics store were ying


    breaking news that was set in a loop.


    [The heir to an international conglomerate and the second daughter of a business tycoon is set to


    marry each other. This would be the business alliance of the century.]


    Corinne quietly watched the same news being broadcasted on the row of TVs at the same time. The


    picture shown in the news was a silhouette of a man and a woman. Even though there were no


    defining characteristics, nor did they mention the name of the couple getting engaged, anyone who


    knew them would be able to tell who they were at a nce.


    Jason


    who was standing next to Corinne. have finally gotten their wish to get married despite the objections


    from both sides of the family.”


    was shocked by the news as well. “I guess they


    Corinne smiled mockingly and averted her eyes from the news. “Let’s call it a day. I’ll be making a


    move first. Goodbye, Kind Sir.”


    Jason stopped her. “Corinne, wait. When can I see you again?”


    “How about we leave that up to fate?” Corinne waved goodbye to him and walked away from him at a


    leisurely pace, leaving Jason to stand where he was alone.


    This time, he did not chase after her. He remained standing where he was as he watched her leave


    with a meaningful smile on his lips.


    Corinne went back to her ce in Thssa.


    Aaron was lying on the sofa and ying a game on his phone. He threw his phone to the side when he


    saw hering back.


    “Boss, you’re back! How did it go? Did you get to see Michel?”


    Corinne was exhausted. She copsed on the sofa and answered, “No.”


    “Then why did it take you so long toe back?” Aaron asked curiously.
