Chapter 472


    Anya’s gaze was innocent and weak, making others feel the urge to protect her. “But-”


    Rosie stood up and knocked on Corinne’s desk. Then, she crossed her arms and said arrogantly,


    “Corinne, listen to me! Joey is sleeping on the couch in Lucas’s office now. Anya and I are going out,


    and we’ll be right back! If we notice something’s wrong with Joey when wee back, then it’s your


    fault!”


    Corinne did not even look up and was still going to reject her.


    However, without even giving Corinne the chance to reject her, Rosie held Anya’s hand and said, “Let’s


    go, Anya.”


    Corinne frowned. She looked up and saw Anya and Rosle entering the elevator in a rush.


    Corinne was at a loss for words.


    Never mind Rosie, but how could Anya, a mother, feel at ease to leave her child in the hands of a


    person who did not have a good rtionship with her? Something must be up!


    Whether something was fishy or not, Corinne could not be bothered with Any’s business.


    However, Lucas stepped out to get a call earlier, so there was indeed nobody in the office at that


    moment. It was really dangerous to leave a child there alone.


    After thinking about it, Corinne went into the office with herptop in the end.


    Just like Rosie said before she left, the boy named Joey was sound asleep on the couch with Anya’s


    jacket covering his body.


    Corinne was afraid she would wake him up, so she tip-toed over and put herptop on the coffee


    table..


    After that, she took advantage of this chance to go to Lucas’s table. She took out a mini high-definition.


    camera she purposely brought from her pocket, snapped a shot of her mother’s photo on the desk, and


    saved it before putting the camera away.


    Corinne walked back to the couch and sat near the child before continuing to trante the documents.


    She looked up from time to time to see if he woke up or if he rolled off the couch.


    Lucas did not return at all during that time. Soon, more than an hour passed. Corinne finally was done


    with trantion, so she stretched deeply.


    Seeing that the child was still asleep, she leaned against the couch and closed her eyes to take a


    breather, giving her eyes a rest.


    Not long after that, she heard the sobbing of a child, so she immediately looked in that direction. She


    saw that Anya’s son already woke up and sat up on his own. He was looking left and right, probably


    looking for his mother.


    In that instant when she saw Corinne, a look of terror suddenly appeared on his face, and he burst into


    -tears!


    Corinne was frightened by his reaction. She had no idea what to do and what he was thinking for a


    moment.


    She was pregnant, but she had no experience cheering children up.

    “Hey, you, your mother’sing back soon, so don’t cry!”


    The child was more than one year old. He still could not speak well and could not understand what an


    adult was saying, so he showed no signs to stop crying at all.


    Corinne got up as she wanted tofort him. However, Joey cried even louder when he saw Corinne


    moving toward him. It was as if he had seen a scary monster!


    Feeling helpless, Corinne had no choice but to stop approaching him. “Fine. I’m not going to go over,


    so stop crying, alright?”


    Joey did not listen to her at all. He climbed off the couch and stumbled out of the office by himself.


    Corinne could not let a child run out on his own, so she quickly ran after him. “Hold on!”
