Chapter 799


    Cedric was taken aback. ‘Why did you use that analogy on me…’


    Beatrice smiled as she nced at Cedric. “He’s probably thinking about going out to ‘fish’ now! I guess


    the only time a man will stay put and behave is when he’s in the coffin!”


    Cedric frowned. “No! What are you talking about? We’ve been together for an entire life! Have I ever


    been that kind of person?”


    Beatrice scoffed. “If you’re not that kind of person, what’s with all this nonsense you’re teaching


    Corinne?”


    Cedric was speechless. ‘I’m only saying that because I can’t bear to see a good young woman like


    Corinne marrying into the ruthless Holden household!!


    He sighed, turned, and said earnestly to Corinne, “Our situation is different. Beatrice and I are


    childhood sweethearts, and we’re about the same age as each other. We both know each other well,


    and we genuinely enjoy living the rest of our lives with each other. We’re an open book. when ites


    to each other!


    “But Jeremy is nearly ten years older than you, and you don’t even know him that well. A man’s true


    nature isn’t something you can see through in a short time! I just think that you’re still young, and I feel


    that you should be more cautious in choosing your life partner.”


    Corinne knew that the Riveras and the Holdens had never been on good terms, so it did not surprise


    her that Cedric did not like Jeremy. She did not take his words to heart and brushed. them off casually,


    finding an excuse to leave. “Grandma Beatrice, can I take some of these cookies with me? Sunny


    wanted me to help him with his homework, so I’ll bring some cookies. there for him too.”


    “Of course. You can take them all! You’re supposed to be our guest, but that kid still asked you to teach


    him. I’m so sorry about that!”


    Corinne smiled. “Don’t worry about it. He and I know each other, and teaching him gives me the chance


    to revise some of the things I’ve learned in the past, so I don’t end up forgetting them!”


    Beatrice was very appreciative of Corinne’s help and nodded with a smile. “That’s very kind of you. Go


    ahead, then! I’ll have someone call you both when it’s time for dinner.”


    “Okay!” Corinne then carried the te of cookies and left the tea room.


    At longst, she could breathe a sigh of relief.

    Cedric insisted on getting her to break up with Jeremy, while Beatrice was very suspicious of her


    identity and had been trying to dig deeper into her past.


    If Corinne did not make any excuses to leave that ce, she would run out of ideas on how to deal with


    them!


    After Corinne went out, the atmosphere between the old couple became serious.


    Cedric frowned and asked, “You asked Corinne so many questions about her life, and one of your


    questions was whether she had a mole between her eyebrows when she was young. Do you think that


    she might be…”


    Beatrice did not deny it. “Don’t you think her general facial features and habits are simr to Luna’s?”


    Corinne was walking up the flight of stairs with the te of cookies when she suddenly caught a whiff


    of a strong perfume. It did not smell cheap at all, and she could tell that it was a very expensive yet


    carefully formted perfume.


    However, as good as any perfume was, too much of it would still make one’s eyes Water.


    She looked up in the direction of the smell and saw a well-dressed Anya heading down. “Corinne? Why


    are you at my house?!” Anya yelled.
