The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1137

Pamela was surprised to see Corinne in the kitchen.

“Corinne, what are you doing here? Don’t you want to hang out with your friends? I’ll let you know when lunch is

ready.”

Corinne smiled. “It’s okay. They’ll be fine by themselves. I came to see if you need any help.”

Pamela waved her hand. “No, it’s alright. I have plenty of help here. You should get out of the kitchen. All this smoke

and grease isn’t good for the baby.”

Corinne looked down and stroked her belly. “Grandma, you really care about this baby, don’t you?”

“Of course,” replied Pamela sincerely. “How can I not care about my great-grandson?”

Corinne smiled tepidly. “Does that mean you won’t care about me once the baby is born?”

Pamela was a little taken aback by the question. She quickly held Corinne’s hand and said, “Is everything alright?

Why would you think like that?”

Corinne smiled wryly. “I can’t help but think I’m just a birthing machine for the family. I have no freedom or say in

my life anymore.”

“But Corinne, we were good to you before you were pregnant too! It’s just that we can’t help but worry about the

baby after what happened with Anya and everything. I want to be able to hold my great-grandson before I die, but

never have I once thought you’re just a birthing machine,” explained Pamela patiently.

Corinne still looked down. “Still… I feel that you and Jeremy have changed…”

Pamela squeezed Corinne’s hand. “Well, it’s true that Jeremy has been busy these past weeks, but I promise I’ll

make him spend time with you once he’s back.”

Corinne pulled back her hand. “Since you don’t need my help, I’ll go back to the living room, then.”

After that, she walked listlessly out of the kitchen.

It pained Pamela to see Corinne like that, so she called out to her, “Corinne, wait!”

Corinne paused in her tracks and turned. “Yes, Grandma?”

Pamela got up and stroked Corinne’s face sadly. “The pregnancy hormones must be making you more sensitive

than usual. But don’t worry, I can guarantee Jeremy loves you. I know you’re mad at him for keeping you under

house arrest, but he only does that to make sure you’re safe… I have an idea. If the weather is good tomorrow, I’ll

go out with you. The bodyguards will never dare to stop me. Let’s go wherever you want to go!”

“Do you really mean that, Grandma?” asked Corinne happily. She got what she wanted.

“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?” said Pamela seriously.

“Oh, thank you, thank you! Though, I haven’t thought of where I want to go yet. I really hate the feeling of having

someone watching my every move… I’ll let you know where I want to go after I’ve made up my mind.”

“I understand. Jeremy can be very overbearing sometimes. I’ll give him a lecture once he’s back, so just enjoy

hanging out with your friends, okay? I’ll let you know when the lunch is ready.”

Corinne nodded obediently, but the moment she turned around, she changed back to her cool and calm self.

As angry as she was about her freedom being taken away, she knew she could not count on anyone in the Holden

family to help her. They were obviously of the same mind. Thus, she came up with the idea of using a softer

approach to get Pamela to bring her out. That way, it would be easier for her to escape.

She had completely given up on Jeremy to the point she was willing to give up the position of Missus Holden to the

woman abroad.
