Chapter 826


    “Wait!” Corinne stopped Anya.


    Anya moved the wine ss away from her lips and looked at her in puzzlement. “What’s the matter,


    Corinne?”


    Corinne frowned subtly. “I remember your health is in poor condition, right? You shouldn’t drink chilled


    wine, then. Why don’t you drink the same juice as me? After all, Miss Phoebe. went through all that


    trouble to make the juice for us girls.”


    Anya smiled stiffly. “That’s okay. You can have all the juice. Plus, I wouldn’t look sincere if I don’t give a


    toast to you with wine! And don’t worry about my health. A little wine like this won’t hurt.”


    “But then I wouldn’t look sincere if I toast you with my juice… Oh, forget it then. Let’s just not drink


    toast.”


    Corinne put down her ss of juice on the table.


    Both Phoebe and Anya panicked when they saw this. ‘Our n will be useless if Corinne doesn’t drink


    the juice! And who knows when a chance like this wille again!’


    After thinking about it, Anya forced a smile and said, “You’re right. I’ll have the same juice as you, then.


    Mom, can you please pour me a ss of juice? It’s the least I can do to thank Corinne for saving


    Grandpa’s life.”


    Phoebe did a double-take; she did not expect Anya would do this. ‘No… She can’t drink it. The saffron


    inside isn’t good for a woman’s health!’


    Corinne smiled. “Atta girl. Huh? Miss Phoebe, why aren’t you pouring a ss of juice for Miss Anya


    yet?”


    Phoebe snapped out of her shock and smiled awkwardly. She walked over to Anya with the jug of juice


    in her hand and said tentatively, “Anya, are you sure…”


    “Just pour me the juice, Mom! We shouldn’t make Corinne wait.” Anya was determined to get rid of the


    baby in Corinne’s tummy. Besides, she herself was not pregnant, so it would not affect her that much.


    The most important thing was to make Corinne drink the juice.


    ‘We’re so close!’ thought Phoebe. Thus, she decided to bite the bullet and pour Anya a ss of juice.


    Anya knew there was no turning back. Resolutely, she raised her ss of juice and said, Cheers,


    Corinne!”


    Corinne raised her ss, smiled, and said, “Cheers.”


    Anya downed her ss in one go. The thought of Corinne having a miscarriage nearly made her jump


    for joy.


    However, instead of downing the whole ss as Anya did, Corinne simply took a sip and secretly spat


    it out on a napkin when she pretended to wipe her mouth. She then folded up the napkin and put it


    back on the table.

    Anya was dumbfounded. “Corinne, how can you only take a sip when I’ve drunk the whole ss?”


    Corinne gave an embarrassed smile. “Oh, I thought we were just gonna drink a little as a symbolic


    gesture! I didn’t expect you to empty your ss.”


    Anya bit her bottom lip in anger. “Well, don’t you think it’s rude of you to drink so little when I’ve emptied


    my ss?”


    Corinne put down her ss and sat down. “Yes, it is rude of me,” she said helplessly. “But forgive me


    for not finishing the juice since I want to save some stomach space for all the food. here. Grandpa


    Cedric and Grandma Beatrice had so kindly prepared so much food for me, and I’m afraid I won’t be


    able to try them all if I drink all the juice now.”


    Anya nearly blew up at that moment. “Why you


    “Corinne is right,” Cedric cut in. “She should eat more instead of drinking all that juice. Here, Corinne.


    Have some of this. There’s plenty more where that came from.”


    Anya felt wronged. “I was just trying to be nice. How can she do this to me? Lucas, why don’t you say


    something…”


    She risked her health to lure Corinne into drinking the pomegranate juice mixed with saffron, so she


    could not ept the fact that Corinne only took a sip.
