Chapter 1421


    After lunch, Xante stepped out to take a call, leaving Corinne alone in the room when suddenly


    someone knocked on the door.


    Knock! Knock!


    Corinne knew Xante would not knock beforeing in, so her eyes suddenly became filled with hope


    again. “Come in!”


    Jason came in with a smile and carried a whole load of expensive supplements in his hands. “Hey,


    Corinne. It’s been a while. Congrattions on giving birth to twins!”

    Corinne’s eyes instantly dimmed a little when she saw it was Jason. “Thanks,” she said with a


    perfunctory smile.


    Jason put down the bags of supplements on a table before walking over to her bed.


    “Sorry for not visiting you sooner. I was quite busy with work and thought that your due date was still


    some time away. I came rushing over here right after finding out from Lucas that you’ve given birth.”


    Apart from his flirtatious nature, Corinne had always been grateful for all the help Jason had given her


    before. Thus, she nodded and said, “Thanks for taking the trouble to visit me. You don’t have to do or


    buy me all these expensive supplements.”


    “How can Ie without bearing gifts?” asked Jason with a smile. He then looked around the room


    and asked, “Where’s Jeremy? Shouldn’t he be here with you?”


    Corinne fell silent.


    Jason instantly knew something must have happened. “Ahem! How can he not be here for you during


    your delivery? Doesn’t he know how to prioritize his wife and his work?”


    Corinne was not in the mood to talk about Jeremy, so she tried to change the topic, “Mister Jason, feel


    free to take a bottle of mineral water there if you’re thirsty. Sorry for not getting up to give you one


    because… Well, you know.”


    Jason smiled. “It’s okay. I’m not thirsty.”


    There was an awkward silence as Corinne turned to look outside the window at the blue sky streaked


    with a ne’s trail.


    “Corinne, do you regret it?” asked Jason softly.


    Stunned, Corinne looked at him and asked curiously, “Regret what?”


    Jason stared deeply into her eyes. “Do you regret choosing a man who doesn’t care about you? I


    mean, he didn’t evene when you gave birth to his own kid!”


    Corinne frowned. “He’s not as bad as you say he is. Of course, I am angry at him, so I’m going to teach


    him a lesson when he’s back.”


    Jasonughed mockingly. “And what if he doesn’te back?”


    Corinne raised an eyebrow. “That’s not possible. His home is here. Even if it weren’t for me, he’ll still


    come back.”


    Jason narrowed his eyes meaningfully. “Corinne, I won’tment on whether you were right to choose


    Jeremy to be your husband. But, like I said, I’ll always be here if you need me. I’ll always wee you


    with open arms when you’re ready to be with me.”


    Corinne was quite speechless. Her lips twitched as she asked, “Don’t you think it’s shameless to say


    something like that to a woman who has just given birth?”


    Jason smiled. “Not at all. I’m the type that doesn’t pass up any opportunity to let you know how I feel.”


    Corinne was at aplete loss for words. She found Jason odd since most of the men she knew


    would prefer a girl with a nk te. However, it seemed like Jason had a penchant for girls who were


    already married with kids.


    ‘Is this some sort of fetish for him?’ she wondered.


    At that moment, Xante finished her call and went back inside the room. She was not surprised to see


    Jason there at all. She gave him a nod and then said to Corinne, “Boss, the doctor said you’re


    recovering well and can be discharged tomorrow.”


    “Okay,” said Corinne simply, though there was no hiding the disappointment that shed across her


    eyes.


    She was about to be discharged, yet Jeremy never once showed up.
