Francine quickly changed her clothes and ran off to find Pamela right after Annie sent her the restaurant’s location.
Meanwhile, Pamela was sewing some clothes for her unborn grandson in her bedroom while praying Corinne would
return. She never stopped worrying or missing her, so she tried to keep her occupied by sewing baby’s clothes.
Suddenly, Francine barged in. “Grandma!”
Pamela jumped up in fright, causing the needle to prick her hand.
“Francine, why did you scare me like that?” Pamela glared at her, put down the needle, and used a tissue to wipe
away the blood trickling down her hand.
Seeing this, Francine quickly walked over to her. “Grandma, are you okay?”
Pamela threw away the tissue and lectured her with a frown, “I’m okay, but sooner or later, you’re going to be the

Francine felt a little guilty for being the reason Pamela hurt herself. She pouted and said, “Sorry, Grandma. I was in
too much of a rush.”
“Apology accepted. Now, tell me what put you in so much of a rush?”
“Corinne’s back!”
Pamela’s eyes immediately lit up. “What did you say? Corinne’s back? Where is she right now? Quick! Bring me to
her.”
After that, she started walking out of her room.
Francine quickly went up to stop her. “Calm down, Grandma. I haven’t finished speaking. Corinne’s not back at our
home yet. She’s having lunch with Jeremy outside.”
Pamela was over the moon. “That means Jeremy knows she’s back, too! Oh, thank heavens. Though I do wish they
had their lunch at home instead. I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare some of Corinne’s favorite food for dinner tonight!”
Francine sighed again. “Grandma, things aren’t as simple as you think they are. Annie said there seems to be
something going wrong between Jeremy and Corinne ’cause they’re talking about ending things.”
Pamela’s smile gradually disappeared. “What? They’re going to end things?! Why would they want to end things
when the baby is due soon? What the hell is that stupid grandson of mine thinking? He should’ve brought her home
the moment he found her instead of talking about ending things outside!”
Francine held on to Pamela’s elbow. “That’s why Annie asked me to bring you to the restaurant. She said you’re the
only person who can make Jeremy apologize first. I mean, we wouldn’t want Corinne to run away again, do we?”
“Yes! I will go! No, I must go! Let’s go, Francine. Bring me to the restaurant now!” asserted Pamela.

Francine found it somewhat amusing to see her usually calm grandmother panicking. “Don’t worry, Grandma.
Annie is keeping an eye on them as we speak, so why don’t you put on your coat first? They’re not going to leave
the restaurant so soon.”
Pamela quickly ordered one of the maids to bring her her coat before putting it on and dragging Francine out of her
bedroom. However, the moment they stepped out of the door, they bumped into Sophia, who came to visit Pamela
with two boxes of pastries in her hands.
“Grandma, where are you going in such a rush?” asked Sophia with a polite smile.
Pamela looked around shiftily. “Um… I’m going out with Francine to do something. What are you doing here,
Sophia?”
Sophia raised the two pastry boxes in her hands. “I managed to get some pastries that went viral some time ago
for you to try.”
