Chapter 1405


    Corinne pulled up Joey, who was ying with his toys, from the carpeted floor. “Let’s put away your


    toys. We’ll have a walk outside the garden,” she said.


    Joey nodded obediently. He put away his toys and ran back toward Corinne to hold her hand. “Auntie


    Sissy! Walk! Walk!”


    Corinne got up and was about to take him outside when a servant came in and reported, “Mister Lucas,


    the Holdens are here.”


    “Who exactly?” asked Lucas with a raised eyebrow. ‘It can’t be Jeremy since he’s abroad.’


    “It’s Miss Francine and her grandmother. They said they’re here to see Miss Corinne,” answered the


    servant.


    Corinne stopped walking when she heard that. She knew the Holdens were not wee there since


    there was bad blood between them and the Riveras. It was only because of Corinne that Lucas was


    willing to put aside his grudge for the time being.


    Lucas frowned and turned toward Corinne with a look that said he would defer to her on this matter.

    After thinking about this, she said, “Well, they’re already here. We might as well let them in.”


    As much as Lucas was unwilling to do so, he still gestured with his chin for the servant to follow


    Corinne’s order.


    Seeing this, the servant quickly went to bring Francine and Pam in.


    Even though Lucas let Corinne had her way, he had no intention of staying to meet the guests. Thus,


    he picked up his suit jacket and stroked her on the head, saying, “Have fun at home. I’m off to work


    now. Call me if you need anything.”


    Corinne nodded. She thought nothing of Lucas leaving without meeting the guests as she understood


    he did not like the Holdens.


    Not long after he left, Pam walked into the living room with Francine supporting her.


    “Look, Grandma. Corinne’s there!” said Francine, pointing to her.


    Corinne stood with Joey out of politeness. She did not walk over to Pam but instead said, “Grandma


    Pam, please take a seat here.”


    Pam walked over slowly while gazing at Corinne warmly. It was as if she wanted to make sure she


    was okay. She had not even touched the sofa when she asked worriedly, “Corinne, have you been


    well?”


    Corinne smiled and nodded. “Yes. Thank you for your concern, Grandma Pam. There’s plenty of


    time to talk, so why don’t you take a seat first?”


    “You’re right, you’re right. Please sit too, Corinne. It must be tiring to stand for so long with that belly of


    yours,” said Pam as she sat. Her eyes never left Corinne’s face.


    Corinne sat down after her. “I’m perfectly alright, Grandma Pam. By the way, what brings you here?”


    Pam sighed. “Corinne, you know we’re at odds with the Riveras, yes? I shouldn’t havee, but I


    just miss you so much. I snuck out toe here when I heard all the adults in the house are now


    abroad to visit rtives. Grandpa Greg doesn’t know I’m here either. He’s going to be mad at me if he


    knew.”


    Corinne smiled. She was actually quite touched that Pam would be willing to let go of the grudge


    between the two families so she could visit her.


    “Grandma Pam, rest assured that I’m very well taken care of here. There’s really no need to worry


    about me.”
