“If you’re genuine, I’ll be back in a bit. I need to send these cookies that Grandma Beatrice baked to your brother, Sunny. Then I’ll
go with you for the tour.”
Anya looked at the plate of cookies in Corinne’s hand and said, “Sure. I’ll go with you to check up on Sunny!”
Corinne did not mind that Anya was following her, but she refused any form of physical
contact.
Sunny was stunned when he saw Anya enter his room with Corinne. He got up immediately and pulled Anya over to protect her.
“You’ll have to go through if you have a problem with Anya! I won’t let you bully her!”
Corinne glanced at him and placed the plate of cookies on his desk. “Enjoy the cookies your grandma baked.”
Sunny was dumbfounded, and he frowned as he looked at the cookies Corinne brought to him.
Anya held Sunny back and said, “Don’t act like that, Sunny! How can you be so rude to our guest? Corinne was invited to our
house because she is Grandpa’s savior, and you need to treat her with respect!”
Sunny had known from Felix that Corinne was his grandfather’s savior, but he did not manage to ask the details of what
transpired. Anya’s remark only made him look at Corinne in confusion.
He did not think badly of Corinne, but he felt that Anya was too kind. On the other hand, Corinne was an almost -tomboyish girl,
and if the two of them got into a fight over Jeremy, Anya would be the one who suffered.
For that reason, he was worried that Corinne might bully Anya, yet Anya seemed to have a different attitude toward Corinne.
Sunny asked in surprise, “Anya, are you and Corinne...”
Anya smiled cheerfully. “I’ve made amends with Corinne, and we’ll get along well with each other from now on! You can continue
doing your homework, Sunny. I’m bringing Corinne for a house tour!”
She then brought Corinne away, leaving Sunny scratching his head in bewilderment. ‘What on earth is going on? Why are those
two rivals getting along so well today?”
As soon as Anya exited Sunny’s room, she glanced at her watch and raised her head to smile at Corinne “Which room would
you like to visit first?”
Corinne shrugged indifferently. “I’m fine with any room.”
Anya then suggested, “How about we start with my room and closet? Come with me. It’s right over there!”
Corinne nodded and followed Anya.
She had no interest in visiting Anya’s room, but she did not want to arouse Anya’s suspicion by saying that she wanted to see
the room of Maxwell’s former wife. Letting Anya choose a room at random was the best way to go about it.
