Chapter 1480
Seeing that ‘Bryan’ was not in his best mood, Corinne squatted to his eye level and asked patiently, “Yes? Go on.” “You said
that...you were going to teach me a lesson when we’re home... and I’m so scared,” stammered ‘Bryan’ pitifully.
Corinne was stunned for a moment before she burst out in laughter.
‘Bryan’ did not understand why Corinne was laughing, so he simply blinked at her in confusion. Even so, he could not help but
think Corinne looked even more beautiful when she laughed.
Corinne picked up ‘Bryan’ and hugged him to her chest. “Silly boy. I only said that out of anger. Did you really think I’d bear to do
anything to you?”
It was only then ‘Bryan’ relaxed. He rested his head quietly on Corinne’s shoulder. He really thought Corinne was going to beat
him for running off.
‘Bryan’ rubbed his cheek against Corinne’s skin while saying, “Mommy, I wish to stay by your side forever. I don’t ever want to
leave you.”
Sadly, he knew he would have to go back to Jeremy.
Corinne could not help but think it was strange for her son to say that.
Smiling, she stroked his head and said, “Silly boy. Of course you can stay with Mommy forever! But, you might not want to once
you grow up and have a family of your own.”
‘Bryan’ raised up his head and looked seriously at her. “I’m never going to get married! I don’t want to get married!”
Corinne chuckled at his innocence. “Are you sure about that? What if one day you meet a girl you like? You wouldn’t even want
to hang out with me then.”
‘Bryan’ pouted and shook his head rapidly. “No. That’s never going to happen!”
He still had no real understanding of what it meant to grow up and have a family of his own.
Francine walked over and tapped his nose gently. “You’re definitely going to grow up to be a mommy’s boy.”
Bryan’ did not understand what it meant to be a mommy’s boy either, so he simply raised his head and looked at her in
puzzlement.
“Don’t ever run off again like today. I’m not going to look for you if it happens next time, you hear?” warned Corinne sternly.
‘Bryan’ pouted and nodded with a complicated expression on his face. ’ Yes, Mommy...”
He felt conflicted, knowing he would be running back to his father next time.
Corinne passed him to Francine for her to carry. After that, she stroked his head and said, “Go have dinner with your aunt now.”
“Okay, Mommy.”
With ‘Bryan’ in her arms, Francine turned and called out to the other kids. ” Joey, hold Christine’s hand and come with me. We’re
all going to have dinner!”
“Okay, Aunt Francine!” said Joey. He then grabbed Christine’s hand, and the two of them followed Francine from behind.
Corinne felt herself relaxing as she watched Francine and the kids sit at the dining table. She decided to go back to her room to
rest.
As much as she loved her kids, she had to admit they could be quite a handful sometimes. Thus, she thought she should enjoy
some time alone
while Francine looked after the kids.
Meanwhile, Lucas had checked into the presidential suite at the hotel where Sophia was staying. He was sitting on the sofa and
listening grimly to Edmund’s reporting.
“Mister Lucas, Sophia is staying in the presidential suite opposite yours. However, the hotel receptionist was unwilling to tell US
anything other than that, citing the client’s confidentiality. I asked the cleaner in charge of this floor, and she said a family of three
is staying inside that suite.”
‘A family of three?’ thought Lucas.
