Chapter 1275


    “So I’ll be able to see Nellie Nymphaea’s painting at Sophia’s birthday party tomorrow?” asked Corinne.


    Xante nodded. “If everything goes to n, then yes.”


    Corinne’s interest was instantly piqued. “Where’s the invitation?”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Annie snapped out of her trance and quickly went to get the invitation for her. “Here’s the invitation,


    Corinne.”


    Corinne took the invitation and clutched it tightly. “I’ve decided I’m going to the birthday party.”


    Xante had expected that, so she was not surprised at all. “If that’s the case, I’ll get someone to make a


    custom tailor dress for you.”


    Corinne nodded.


    Xante immediately went out to arrange Corinne’s dress. There was no time to lose since the birthday


    party would be happening the following night.


    Annie watched dazedly as Xante left the room. After that, she moved closer to Corinne and asked


    curiously, “Corinne, why did you suddenly change your mind?”


    Corinne frowned at her. “Mind your own business, Annie.”


    “Oh,e on, don’t be like that… Who’s Nellie Nymphaea? Is she an artist you really like?”


    “Why are you asking so many questions? Are you nning to ry what you find out to your uncle?”


    Annie chuckled and said sheepishly, “Nope! I’m just curious why you suddenly changed your mind.


    After all, you didn’t have an ounce of interest in the part just a few moments ago.”


    Corinne smiled and said sarcastically, “Aren’t we humans just fickle animals? Well now, time for you to


    head back home. You don’t need toe so often, too.”


    “Oh… Okay…” Annie walked out of the room sadly. She did not manage to get the answer she wanted


    in the end. After thinking about it, she decided to text Jeremy.


    [Uncle Jeremy! Corinne seems like she really likes this painter called Nellie Nymphaea. You know what


    to do, right?]


    However, she received no reply from Jeremy.


    The night of Sophia’s birthday party swiftly came.


    Corinne changed into her custom-tailored dress and put on some light makeup. She actually found the


    dress ufortable since she was eight months pregnant and had gotten a little fatter than before.


    However, it would be even more ufortable for her if she attracted unwanted attention by wearing


    something unsuitable for the party.


    Her dress was pink and made of real silk, showing off her tanned skin. She looked endearing in that


    dress. She did not really do anything to her hair as she decided a simple updo hairstyle would do.


    Two cars were waiting for her when she got down from her apartment. One was arranged by Xante and


    the other by Jeremy with Tommy acting as the driver. Not wasting time deciding, Corinne walked


    toward the car Xante hired for her, but Tommy stopped her mid-way.


    “Miss Corinne, please get into my car. Mister Jeremy insisted for me to drive you there,” he said.


    Corinne frowned. “Why should I get into your car? We’re going in the same direction, so why can’t I go


    in the other car?”


    “Mister Jeremy is worried that it won’t be as safe for you to go in other people’s car as you’d be in mine


    since you’re pregnant and all. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
