Chapter 866


    “Corinne!”


    Corinne heard someone shout out her name just when she was about to get into the car. With one foot


    inside, she turned to look around and saw Lucas striding toward her.


    “Corinne, a moment of your time, please? There’s something I’d like to tell you in private,” said Lucas


    softly.


    Corinne raised her brow a little. After considering it, she turned to Jeremy and said, “Mister, can you go


    buy me a bottle of yogurt drink at that convenience shop over there? I suddenly have a craving for it.”


    Jeremy knew Corinne was trying to steer him away. He would not have allowed her to speak privately


    to a man if this had happened in the past, but it was different since he knew Lucas. was her brother.


    They were long-lost siblings, and since Corinne was willing to speak to Lucas, Jeremy felt like it was


    not in his ce to prevent her from doing so. Thus, he gently ruffled Corinne’s hair and said, “Alright,


    then.”


    He thus walked slowly to the convenience store in front of them.


    Lucas made sure Jeremy was well out of earshot before turning to look at Corinne. “Let’s go talk at that


    park over there. I’m worried the fumes in the parking lot will make you ufortable.”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Corinne nodded. She might as well do as he suggested since she agreed to hear what he had to


    say.


    The two of them came to the park in front of the hospital. Lucas found a ce to sit, but he then took


    off his jacket andid it on the bench. “Here, Corinne. You can sit here.”


    Corinne plopped down unceremoniously on the bench whereas Lucas pulled up his pants a little before


    sitting down gracefully next to her.


    “Well, why don’t you get on with it, Mister Lucas? I’m in quite a rush to get home.”


    Lucas looked at her helplessly when he heard her address him as ‘Mister Lucas’.


    “I’m sorry… It’s my every intention to make sure you have a good time at our house today, but not only


    did we cause trouble for you again, but you also nearly lost your baby…”


    Corinne chuckled softly. “Oh, sorry ain’t going to cut it this time. Plus, this isn’t the only time your family


    has caused me trouble.”


    I


    Lucas frowned and looked apologetically at her. “Do you really have no ns to go home?”


    “Of course I do!” replied Corinne without missing a beat.


    Lucas’ eyes immediately lit up. ‘She’s willing to go home?’


    “I’m going home with Jeremyter,” added Corinne.


    Lucas was dumbfounded by her response, and he smiled wryly. “So the Holdens’ ce is where


    you call home?”


    Corinne shook her head. “Nope. The Holdens’ ce is just like any mansion in the city. Meaning to say,


    there’s nothing special about it. My home is wherever Jeremy is.”


    Lucas was filled with conflicted feelings. As her brother, he had lost the chance to vouch for the man


    Corinne had married.


    “I’m d Jeremy makes you happy. But if he ever cheats on you, you cane to me, and I’ll teach


    him a lesson!”


    Corinne scoffed. “I don’t need you to teach him a lesson ’cause I’ll just break up with him if he dares to


    cheat on me. I’d rather go without a man in my life than to desperately hang on to at cheating dirtbag!”
