Chapter 1518 Corinne's eyes darkened, and she retorted, "And you think I'd be able to accept the news from other people?" "Boss... We never stopped looking for the kid for the past three years. We plan to tell you after we've found him. | know this doesn't make it up for lying to you, though. You can punish US however you want." Corinne asked Xante to cup not because she wanted to punish her but because she was worried she and Aaron would keep things from her again in the future out of worry for her.
"At my current state, there's nothing | can't handle anymore. So you need to tellthe truth no matter what happens in the future. Understood?" "Yes, Boss!" Corinne looked up at the full moon. Her eyes narrowed for a second. "By the way, what's going on with you and Sunny?" Xante grimaced at the mention of Sunny. She could already feel a headache coming.

Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. "Not really." Corinne narrowed her eyes. "Just ignore him if you really don't have feelings for him. I'm not trying to meddle in your business, but I'm worried you'll get hurt." Xante nodded. "Don't worry, Boss. | know what I'm doing." Corinne offered no response to that. There was a twhen she thought she knew what she was doing as well.
She used to be so sure that she would never get hurt by Bran yet the outcwas ironic.
She did not want to see Xante following in her footsteps.
"That'll be all. You should go hearly," said Corinne.
"Yes, Boss." Xante started walking toward the door, but Corinne suddenly remembered something, so she said, "Tell Francine to helpput the kids to bed tonight. I'm really tired and would like to go to bed now." "Alright, Boss." Xante looked at her with pain in her eyes before leaving the room.
'l pity her. She has to run the company during the day and take care of the kids at night. No wonder she's tired," she thought with a sigh.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJeremy was woken up in the middle of the night by the cold. He remembered he had closed the window before while the central AC was set at a constant temperature, so he found the drop in temperature odd.
Worried that ‘Benjamin’, who was sleeping next to him, might get a cold, Jeremy opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and turned to look at the window to see if it was open.
Under the faint moonlight, he saw the curtain dancing in the breeze.
'No wonder it's so cold. The window's open after all. But how?' he thought.
This just added to the mystery since he was sure he had shut the window tight before he went to sleep. Logically speaking, barring a typhoon, it would be impossible for the window to be blown open.
However, there was no storm in sight at that moment.
Except for the faint moonlight, there was no other light in the room. Even though Jeremy could only see shapes and shadows, he could feel a presence that was not his own nor his son's.
