Pamela’s grip tightened around Corinne’s hand. “Corinne, I know I haven’t been the best
grandmother-in-law to you in the past. I should’ve told you about Sophia, but I hope you
can forgive me, too…”
Corinne smiled at her serenely. “That’s all in the past now, Grandma.”
She had moved on from the matter.
Corinne told herself she had no right to ask Jeremy for an explanation at the start of the
relationship since they had a working relationship. Plus, they did not know each other
when he got married to Sophia back then.
It was only over time that they started to have real feelings for each other.
Pamela patted the back of Corinne’s hand lovingly. “Thank you, Corinne, for forgiving me.
I’ve always known you’re a kind girl. Do you know that Jeremy would frequently sit in his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtroom in a daze after you left? Not to mention, he became even quieter than before.
“That grandson of mine grew up in a pressure-cooker environment on account of how
strict we were with his upbringing. We pinned all of the family’s hope on him, causing him
to grow up faster than kids the same age as him. That’s why he rarely shows his emotions
to anyone.
“You, however, seemed to have broken down his walls. Only with you does he show what
he’s really feeling—whether it be joy, anger, or sadness. You’ve healed him, Corinne. He’s
going to think there’s nothing to live for in this world if he loses you, so please move back
in with him when he’s back. We’ll all be waiting for you, Corinne.”
Corinne could not bear to make Pamela worry anymore when she saw the desperation in
her face, so she nodded and said, “Okay, Grandma.”
Pamela finally smiled. “Now that’s done, I’ll leave now. Your grandfather is still waiting for
us to go back. Corinne, do call me if you need anything before Jeremy’s back. Remember,
our home will forever be your home. We’ll support you no matter what.”
Corinne smiled back at her before turning to her sister-in-law and saying, “Francine, make
sure Grandma gets home safely. Do look after her and Grandpa while Jeremy’s gone.”
“Don’t worry. I will,” said Francine. She was no longer the spoiled little princess from
before.
After seeing Pamela and Francine off, Corinne took Joey to the garden to have a walk. She
looked up at the blue sky, and a smile instinctively appeared on her face at the thought of
Jeremy coming home tomorrow.
That night, she texted Jeremy some random things before going to sleep. However, she
received no reply from him. Thinking he must be on the plane, she decided to let it be.
Early the next morning, Lucas went off to work as usual after breakfast. However, before
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat, he brought Sunny to his school to complete the necessary procedures for him to
study abroad.
After the two brothers left, Corinne took Joey for a walk in the garden just like yesterday
after they finished their breakfast.
Not long after that, a servant came up to Corinne, who was playing on the lawn with Joey,
and reported, “Miss Corinne, someone’s here to see you.”
Hearing this, Corinne’s eyes immediately lit up. “Who?”
Even though it was a little early for Jeremy’s flight to arrive, she still thought it could be
him. After all, his flight might have enjoyed good weather and thus arrived earlier than
expected.
However, her hope was dashed when the servant answered, “It’s Miss Annie. She brought
you some gifts.”
