Chapter 468
Was this Anya and Jeremy’s child?
Corinne stared at the boy in a daze for a while before she looked up at Anya, who was beaming happily.
Anya was all smiles when she looked at her. “Corinne, I didn’t get to greet you when we met yesterday. I hope you’ve been well.”
Corinne smiled a little. “Mm-hmm, yes, I have. You look good, Miss Anya.”
Anya picked up the boy in the stroller and took out the pacifier in his mouth. “Joey, come, this is Miss Corinne.”
Joey was more than one year old, and he looked like he just learned how to walk. He then called out with indistinct articulation,
“M-miss Co-corinne.”
Perhaps it was because she was also pregnant, she could not help but feel that such a small child was very adorable when she
saw him. Corinne nodded and said, “Mm-mmm. Hello.”
The boy seemed to be a little shy with strangers. He was scared when looking at Corinne, then he hugged Anya’s neck and
cowered in her arms.
Anya hugged her child and smiled helplessly. “I hope you don’t mind, Corinne. Joey is a little scared of strangers.”
Corinne smiled as if it did not matter. “It’s fine. Are you here for Mister Lucas? You may go in. He’s in the
office now.”
Upon saying that, she looked down and resumed working on the translation.
However, Anya did not head into her brother’s office. Instead, she stood in place carrying her child and watched Corinne work,
then said, “Corinne, help me take a look. Do you think Joey looked more like me or Jeremy? I can’t even tell myself!”
Corinne looked up at the child again. After taking a closer look at him for a while, she said, “I feel he looked more like you.”
Anya smiled sweetly. “Really? Jeremy said he looked more like me too! I heard that boys will look like their mothers when they
are younger, but they will look more and more like their fathers when they grow up! I hope Joey will be as handsome as his
father when he grows up!”
“Mm-hmm. I wish him well!” Corinne smiled a little then continued working.
Anya squinted. “Corinne, would you wish us well?”
Corinne did not look up to glance at her anymore. She just kept typing casually. “What do you think?”
Anya laughed melodiously “I think you won’t because you’ll be jealous of me!”
Corinne stopped typing for a moment and she laughed. Then, she said while typing, “You’re overthinking it, Miss Anya. I’m very
busy, I don’t have that time, and I am not interested at all in the Jeremy you mentioned.”
Anya stared at Corinne for a moment as a warning. When she spoke again, her tone was more vicious. “I hope what you say is
true!”
Upon saying that, she finally carried the child into Lucas’s office.
Hearing the door close, Corinne stopped translating and touched her belly.
When Corinne saw the child in Anya’s arms earlier, her abdomen felt uncomfortable for some reason.
She gently massaged her bell, mumbling, “It’s fine. Even without your father, I can work two jobs. Behave a little. Don’t make me
too tired and interrupt me from searching for your grandma, alright?”
After massaging for a while, her belly felt better; so Corinne continued typing.
She had mixed feelings about the child in her belly. She also knew that according to the moral standards of society, she should
not secretly bring this child into the world on her own.
