Chapter 510
Wanting Jeremy to carry him, Joey opened up his chubby little arms and kept calling out for Jeremy in that baby voice of his.
“Dada, Dada.”
Seeing that, the guests began to whisper among themselves.
“Is that Miss Anya’s and Mister Jeremy’s kid?”
“I think so. He’s a spitting image of Miss Anya.”
“They’re not even married yet. How can they have a kid together?”
“Why not? I mean, they’ve been together for the longest time and the only reason they’re not married to each other is because
both of their parents objected to them being together. Having a kid is just one of those sooner or later things since they’re so
madly in love with each other.”
“Hey, that kid is so cute!”
Corinne began to feel like she was the third wheel in the situation, so she stepped a bit further from Jeremy.
Lucas must have thought the same as her as he suddenly said, “Miss Carew, come over here. We’re leaving soon.”
Corinne was relieved to know she could finally leave the party. She walked over to Lucas and said, “Yes, Mister Lucas.”
Rosie stood in front of Lucas and said longingly, “Lucas, you’re leaving so soon?”
“Yeah. You stay here and take care of Anya for me.”
“Okay. Don’t worry, Lucas. You can leave her to me!”
Rose nodded and agreed without hesitation. She then threw a warning glance at Corinne.
Corinne did not take it to heart. She simply followed Lucas out of the noisy banquet hall.
Jason raised his glass and took a sip of the red wine as he watched Corinne walk out of the banquet hall.
Zeke suddenly waved his hand in front of him. “Why do you keep staring at her? Jason, you were very nice to Corinne tonight so
much so that I’m starting to wonder if you have a crush on her.”
Jason smiled. “And what if I do?”
Zeke was stunned. He exchanged glances with Gerald. Both of them thought of the same thing.
“Jason, she used to be Jeremy’s wife! It’s not worth breaking up our bromance for a woman.'”
Jason simply smiled nonchalantly at Zeke. “Whose wife did you say Corinne was?”
Zeke looked to where Jeremy was standing.
At that moment, Jeremy was busy with Anya and Joey so he could not extricate himself from them.
Zeke thought about it and shrugged. “I get your point. It’s obvious Jeremy and Corinne have nothing to do with each other
anymore.”
The smile on Jason’s lips became even deeper. “You’ve got that right.”
The car Lucas and Corinne were in sped along the road.
Lucas was scrolling silently and emotionlessly on his phone while Corinne was looking out the window at the passing scenery. It
was then she realized that something was different.
‘Why are we driving on the highway? This isn’t the road to the city.”
“Mister Lucas, where are we going?” she asked quizzically.
Lucas looked up from his phone. He did not answer her. Instead, he ordered the driver to stop the car.
The driver pulled into the emergency lane and slowly stopped the car.
Lucas gestured to the door with his chin and said, “Miss Carew, you can clock off work and get down from the car now.”
Corinne was shocked. “But Mister Lucas, we’re on the highway,” she said with a frown.
Lucas half-smirked at her. “That’s not my concern. You have to figure out a way to get yourself home since I’ve already said you
can clock off work. It’s not my obligation as a boss to send you home.”
