Corinne was pleasantly surprised when she entered the living room. Even though the building looked shabby and old
from the outside, the inside of Jason’s unit was clean and tastefully decorated. It did not look like anyone was living
there at all.
“Have a seat while I get you something to drink,” said Jason before going to the kitchen.
Corinne sat on the sofa and surveyed her new surroundings quietly when a glass of milk suddenly appeared in front
of her.
“I hope you don’t mind giving you milk instead of a soft drink since you’re pregnant,” said Jason with a wide grin.
“Thank you,” said Corinne with a polite smile after accepting the glass of milk.
Jason sipped his can of Cola and sat on the armchair next to the sofa.
Corinne gazed at the glass of milk intently while swirling it slowly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJason did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw her doing that. “Are you afraid that I’ve spiked the milk
with something?”
Corinne looked up at him. “Nope. I was checking to see if the milk has gone bad since you said you rarely come
here. God knows how long this thing has been in your fridge.”
Jason laughed throatily. “I went to the supermarket yesterday to get it for you. All the things in the fridge are freshly
bought, so you can eat them without worry.”
Corinne only drank the milk after making sure there was no weird smell or blobs in it.
Jason rested her chin in his hand and looked at Corinne playfully. “Are you really going to leave Jeremy this time?”
The milk instantly turned sour inside Corinne’s mouth the moment she heard Jeremy’s name. “Of course. Do you
think I’m doing all this for fun?”
Jason narrowed his eyes. “If you don’t mind, can you tell me the reason?”
Corinne did not really want to tell him, but she owed him for helping her so she gave him the short version of the
story. “He lied to me and played with my feelings.”
“Just because of that?” asked Jason with a raised eyebrow.
Corinne frowned. “Isn’t that serious enough? What’s the point of staying together if there’s no trust between us
anymore?”
Jason sighed. “This isn’t a fairytale world we’re living in. We adults need to compromise a little when it comes to
matters of love. There’s no such thing as pure love.”
Corinne did not refute his reasoning, but she still could not accept it. “Fine. Let’s just chalk it down as me being
naive. I guess I should just stay away from relationships from now on.”
“Oh no. Please don’t do that. There are still nice guys in the world. You’re even talking to one right now!” said Jason
with a smile while pointing at himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCorinne rolled her eyes at him. “Says the guy who claims there’s no such thing as pure love. Don’t tell me you
expect me to believe you’re a guy who’ll stay loyal till the very end, do you?”
Jason sat up a little straighter. “I don’t expect you to believe that. But, what I can promise you is I’ll never lie to you
or pretend to be someone I’m not. Corinne, you should know how I feel about you, right? Why don’t you give me a
chance now that you’ve decided to leave Jeremy?”
Corinne looked at him suspiciously. “Are you being serious, Jason?”
Jason nodded. “Do I look like I’m not?”
Corinne chuckled coldly. “Don’t forget I’m carrying Jeremy’s baby inside of me. I might have decided to leave him,
but that doesn’t mean I’m going to get rid of the baby. Can you accept a woman who’s carrying another man’s
baby?”
“Yup, I can. But, you have to give me a baby in the future too,” said Jason without hesitation.
Corinne was speechless.
