“Don’t worry. I won’t ever bother you again,” said Sunny with a hardened expression. His
fists were clenched tightly as though it took all of his willpower to make up his mind.
Xante’s expression remained the same when she heard that, but after a while, she smiled.
“I’m glad to hear that.”
Then, without saying anything else, she got up and went back inside Corinne’s room.
Sunny unclenched his fists and hung his head low like a deflated balloon. He completely
lost his usual arrogance.
“What are you doing here?” asked Lucas sternly as he walked over to him.
Sunny looked up and answered listlessly, “I heard Corinne’s water broke when I got home,
so I rushed over to see her.”
Afraid that Sunny would only add to the chaos, Lucas frowned and said, “Go home if
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou’ve seen her. Get your stuff ready. Edmund will be taking you abroad next week.”
Sunny nodded. He then looked at Corinne’s hospital room door with a complicated
expression before getting up and walking away listlessly.
With Sunny gone, Lucas went into her room.
Corinne had drifted off to sleep again.
Xante took one look at Corinne, who was frowning in her sleep, to make sure she was
sleeping before asking Lucas, “Any news about Jeremy?”
Lucas shook his head glumly. “Not at the moment.”
‘Just where the hell did Mister Jeremy take the baby?’ thought Xante with a frown.
Lucas looked at Corinne with a pained expression. “Did she ask about him?”
Xante sighed and nodded. “She did. But she must’ve sensed something was off ’cause she
didn’t try to get to the bottom of it.”
Lucas’ face became another shade darker. He really felt sorry for Corinne. He was willing
to let go of the grudge with the Holdens for her sake and allow her to marry Jeremy, but
what happened made him completely lose faith in Jeremy.
‘I’ll need to reconsider allowing Corinne to marry Jeremy after we’ve found him,’ he told
himself. ‘She’ll never know a day of peace if she marries that unreliable b*stard.’
…
Three days passed, and Corinne recovered enough to be able to get out of bed and walk
around the room.
However, there was still no news from Jeremy. She called and texted him, but he did not
pick up his phone nor did he reply to her messages.
Lucas would always brush her off by saying Jeremy was safe, and that he was occupied
with something very important in Molomia, causing him to be delayed in coming back,

She was not interested in knowing or understanding what could be so important in
Molomia that he could not fly back to see her and the babies. The only thing she cared
about was that he broke his promise again.
He promised her he would be back in three days. He even showed her his return flight
ticket.
It was all a lie.
The only time she would come alive was when she was with the babies. As for the rest of
the time, she would stare blankly outside the window, lost in thought. Moreover, she
became even more quiet than before.
That day, Lucas only stayed for a brief visit before going back to work.
