Chapter 1077
Corinne paid no mind to what Jason said. She continued eating as though nothing happened.
Jason was not really eating by then. He rested his cheek on his hand and gazed at her seductively until
she finished eating.
“I see you’re not a picky eater at all, Corinne. The food here isn’t really that great, don’t you think?”
“You can’t expect a homestay restaurant to taste like a three-star Michelin restaurant, can you?” replied
Corinne indifferently.

“I’m just giving my objective opinion. The food is really not that great. How about I bring you to an
authentic farm-to-table restaurant tomorrow? You’ll know what I say is true then.”
“Thanks, but no thanks,” said Corinne disinterestedly. “We won’t be interrupting your holiday now,
Mister Jason. Tommy, go pay the bill.”
Tommy nodded and went to the counter to pay the bill. However, not only did the waiter refuse to take
his money, but he handed over some change to him. “Mister Jason has paid for the food. This is the
change.”
Tommy frowned. He first looked at Jason before turning to Corinne with a questioning look. ‘What
should I do now?’
Corinne heard what the waiter said. She gave Jason a side-eye before getting up and saying, “Thanks
for the meal. I’ll let Jeremy know so he can buy you a meal when he’s back.”
After that, she and Tommy left the homestay. She knew it would be a waste of time to offer to give the
money back to Jason since he would never ept it, so she might as well let Jeremy handle it when he
came back.
Once they were outside of the homestay, Corinne immediately smelled clean mountain air. She looked
toward the horizon, which quickly brought to mind her childhood.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated

She hade here before with Mother Cathrina to collect mountain herbs. Together, they walked past
this very homestay many times before.
The difference was that the muddy mountain roads that were difficult to walk on had been turned into
glossy ck asphalt roads. Not to mention, the conditions in the vige were much better than before.
It had been so many years since Corinnest returned. The vige where she lived when she was a
child was on the other side of the mountain. In the past, going back and forth required walking across
the mountains, but with a road built, it needed only 15 minutes to make the same journey by car.
Being in that ce suddenly made Corinne miss Mother Cathrina. She looked at the time and thought it
was still early.
“Tommy, I want to go somewhere. Can you please drive me there?”
Both of them got into the car. Before Tommy even started the engine, however, someone opened the
back seat door and sat next to Corinne. From the rearview mirror, Tommy realized it was Jason.
As much as Tommy found it rude for Jason to do that, he knew he could not order him to get out
because Jason was a good friend of Jeremy. Thus, he could only hope Corinne would say something
to Jason about the intrusion.
Corinne looked sideways at Jason. “Can I help you?”
Jason smiled at her. “Yeah. It’s so rare to bump into a familiar face here. I was hoping you won’t mind
me joining you for a drive.”
“As a matter of fact, I do mind,” said Corinne with a frown.
Any other person would have gotten out of the car in embarrassment, but Jason simply smiled even
wider at her. “Oh,e on. Don’t be like this, Corinne. Why not see it as a thank you for me treating
you to a meal? Also, I’m starting to get bored being by myself…”
“Then why did youe alone?” Corinne asked with a frown.
Jason spread his hands helplessly. “It’s not like I wanted toe alone. Pity the single guy.”
Corinne frowned. “Oh, please. As if no girls are lining up to be your girlfriend. You only need to crook
your finger, and they’ll be throwing themselves at you. Not to mention, you could’ve brought the girl
your parents have set you up with for some bonding time.”
