Chapter 1226


    Jeremy glowered. “Miss Corinne, I don’t care if you don’t want to live, but you shouldn’t take the baby’s


    life as a joke!” he said contemptuously.


    Corinne pped away his hand in disgust. “Stop being a worrywart! No baby ever died from the mother


    eating some carrots!”


    Jeremy pulled back his hand, put down his fork, and stared at her as if looking into her soul.


    Corinne did not like how he looked at her, so she stood up and said, “I feel like I’m going to throw up.


    Please excuse me while I go to the restroom!”


    She then walked away without waiting for anyone’s response.


    Annie watched Corinne leave before turning to ask Jeremy, “Why did you do that, Uncle Jeremy? You


    made her angry again!”


    Instead of answering her, Jeremy simply stared at Corinne’s back silently.


    …


    Corinne walked slowly since she was already eight months pregnant by then. However, before she got


    to the restroom, she ran into Pam and Francine. Both were walking as fast as they could to find her.


    “Corinne! Look, Grandma! It is Corinne!” shouted Francine excitedly while holding onto Pam’s


    elbow.


    Corinne stopped walking when she heard someone calling out her name. She then turned and was


    surprised to see Pam and Francine.


    She forcibly smiled and said, “Grandma. How have you been?”


    Pam started to get teary. She walked up and held Corinne’s hands before looking her from head to


    toe worriedly. “Corinne, where have you been for the past six months? I miss you so much every

    “Oh, uh… I went to a ce with beautiful scenery. I had a very good time there.”


    Pam sighed. “No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it’s important for you to stay at home for the


    baby’s sake. Look at you. You’re already eight months pregnant, but you don’t have the pregnancy


    glow anymore. It pains me to think how much hardship you must’ve suffered outside.”


    “Grandma, I didn’t suffer any hardship. Like I said, I had a very good time on my own,” exined


    Corinne helplessly.


    Pam paid no mind to what she said. It was as if she was in her own world. She held Corinne’s hand


    tightly and nagged her to take care of herself more.


    Corinne did not want to have too much interaction with anyone from the Holden family, but she felt it


    would be rude to act coldly toward an old woman. Thus, she forced herself to go along with whatever


    Pam said.


    At the same time, she could not help but feel a pair of hostile eyes were on her. She turned to where


    she thought the gaze wasing from.


    Sophia smiled and walked up to her. She held out her hand for a handshake.


    “Hello, Miss Corinne. I heard so much about you! It’s so great to finally meet… Ah, forgive me. This


    isn’t our first time meeting, isn’t it? I mean, we met yesterday, right?”


    Sophia was able to correctly guess that Corinne was Moon by her bodynguage.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Corinne looked at her. At that point, there was no need to hide her other identity. She smiled and said,


    “Yes. Fancy seeing you again.”


    However, she did not shake her hand. Thus, Sophia had no choice but to awkwardly put down her


    hand. To her credit, she kept her smile.


    Initially, Corinne still had kind feelings toward Pam. She was grateful to the old woman for taking


    care of her before, but that feeling disappeared when she saw Pam had brought Sophia with her.


    Not wanting to talk to Pam anymore, Corinne pulled her hands back and said, “Excuse me, but I


    need to go to the restroom for a bit. Mister Jeremy’s table is right ahead. Please find him there.”
