Chapter 1376


    Don’t worry. Corinne is my sister, so I’ll definitely look after her even without you telling me to. I’m not


    going to let anything happen to her,” said Lucas coldly.


    “Thanks. Appreciate it,” said Jeremy.


    “When do you n to fly there?”


    “Tonight.”


    “Ahem! How about dinner together before you go?”


    Jeremy was baffled by the invitation. “I thought she didn’t want me anywhere near the mansion?”


    “Of course she doesn’t. She’s too good for a lying sc*mbag like you. But there’s no guarantee you


    won’t be locked up by Adam once you leave, so tonight might be yourst moment together with


    Corinne. I just don’t want her to have any regrets when ites to you. So, swing by for dinner tonight


    before you fly off.”


    Lucas wished Corinne could marry a man with a simple background if given a choice. She could live


    her life peacefully, at least. Jeremy obviously was not the best choice he had in mind for her.


    While it was true Jeremy had both power and wealth, he came from a veryplicated background. In


    other words, Corinne could never live a day in peace the moment she decided to be with him.


    However, after seeing how Corinne risked her and the baby’s lives to look for Jeremy and to avenge


    himst night, it hit Lucas just how much she cared about Jeremy. It could be said that Corinne would


    not be able to let go of Jeremy that easily.


    Consequently, Lucas knew Corinne would go to Jeremy’s rescue should anything happen to him in


    Molomia. In a way, Corinne’s safety was tied very closely to Jeremy’s. Thus, being good to Jeremy


    meant that Lucas was also being good to Corinne.


    Corinne could go intobor at any moment, so Lucas could not afford to let her go through any shock


    anymore. It was best for Jeremy to meet with Corinne so he could tell her where he was going. That


    way, she would not worry or overthink too much.


    Even though Lucas could have said what he said in a nicer way, Jeremy decided to look past his


    rudeness and focus on the good.


    “Your worries are unfounded, but thanks anyway.”

    “Whatever. I’ll text you the time and locationter.”


    Lucas still remembered how he promised Corinne he would never let Jeremy anywhere near the


    mansion, so he decided to have dinner outside.


    After he hung up the phone, he called Corinne.


    “Hey, Corinne.”


    “Yes, Mister Lucas?” drawled Corinnezily.


    Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose out of resignation when he heard her reverting to calling him


    ‘Mister Lucas’ again. ‘I knew it. She called me Lucasst time because she was trying to throw me off


    guard. She hasn’t forgiven me after all.’


    “Corinne, let’s have dinner together tonight.”


    “But we have our meals together every day,” deadpanned Corinne.


    Lucas chuckled drily. “Tonight’s different. We’ll be eating out.”


    “Where?” asked Corinne skeptically.


    “Just get ready before dinner time. I’ll pick you and Sunny up after work.”


    “Fine…”


    After he hung up the phone, Lucas saw a text message from Jeremy, telling him the time and location


    along with a simple text. [I’ll arrange everything tonight. You just need to bring her there.]


    At 7 p.m., dressed in a pale yellow maternity dress with a scalloped edge, Corinne tied her hair up in a


    bun and went out with Lucas.
