Chapter 733
Seeing Corinne enjoying her food so much infuriated Francine. Thus, she decided to make her life difficult. “Lucas, I’m so glad
you’ve come! Guess what happened just now? Corinne poured an entire bowl of piping hot ramen soup on Anya’s head. Not
only did that dirty Anya’s clothes but her face got burned too! So I had no choice but to take Anya up to my room to wash up and
change into a clean set of clothes.”
After Francine had finished speaking, Anya knew it was her cue to pretend to be forgiving. ” Lucas, please don’t be too harsh on
Corinne. She didn’t mean to and I’m fine...” she said. tearfully.
Lucas frowned and looked unhappily at Corinne. “Why did you order takeout when the kitchen. had already prepared a lavish
breakfast spread for you?”
Anya and Francine were stunned by Lucas’ question. Initially, they were waiting expectantly for Lucas to blow up at Corinne so
the question really caught them off guard. In fact, they could not help but feel like Lucas had gotten the wrong point.
Corinne was really enjoying the oatmeal. She smacked her lips and said, “Well, I wouldn’t have to order takeout if our guest
didn’t happen to eat the lavish breakfast spread that was specially prepared for me and I wouldn’t have to make do with the
sandwich if our guest didn’t happen to spill some milk into my ramen.”
A deep frown immediately appeared on Lucas’ forehead. “The only guest that was here before me is... Anya! So she’s the culprit
that caused Corinne to miss her breakfast?’
Anya secretly became happy when she saw the anger rising in Lucas’ face. ‘Yes! He’s finally going to blow up at Corinne!’
She thought it was a given Lucas would take her side since that was how it had always been. Thus, she did not think twice about
fanning the fire. “Lucas, I didn’t mean to eat Corinne’s breakfast. I swear I didn’t know it was hers. I was feeling a little dizzy from
low blood sugar so Francine offered me some food....
“And I didn’t mean to spill the milk into Corinne’s takeout. I was worried she would choke on the ramen so I brought her some
milk but I lost my balance on the way and accidentally spilled the milk into her ramen...
“I did apologize to her immediately and promised to compensate double of what she paid for the food... but her anger must’ve
gotten the better of her since she poured the ramen over my head... but I understand where she’s coming from so please don’t
get angry at her, Lucas... It was all my fault in the first place.”
Anya’s voice became more and more weepy as she went on to the point of her nearly
dissolving to full on crying.
Lucas’ eyes darkened. He stared at Anya coldly and scoffed. “So you do know what you did was wrong.”
Not getting the usual preferential treatment from Lucas caused Anya to do a double take. She looked up at him in shock.
“Lucas...?”
“Why did you come here when you know you have low blood sugar? You should have rested at home!” Lucas lectured sternly.
Anya did not understand why Lucas was acting that way. It took her a while to snap out of her shock. “Lucas, I didn’t know I was
going to get low blood sugar before coming here. But now that I think about it... It must be because I’ve forgotten to have
breakfast at home...” explained Anya feebly.
Lucas was unmoved by her explanation. “So what are you doing here instead of staying at home to take care of Joey?”
A hint of guilt flashed across Anya’s eyes. “Umm... The nanny is taking care of Joey so I thought I...”
“Not only is Joey severely injured but he nearly lost his life yesterday and yet you don’t seem to worry
about him at all! If I didn’t know better, I’d have thought the nanny is Joey’s adopted mother instead of you!”
“Lucas, I...”
