With that, Corinne walked around the three women to go to the restroom.
Still worried, Pamela patted Francine and said, “Francine, go with Corinne so that you can help her if she runs into
any inconvenience. Remember to make sure she doesn’t fall.”
Francine nodded and went after Corinne.
The moment Corinne came out from the cubicle, she saw Francine with her arms crossed and looking at her as
though she had done something very wrong.
She ignored her and went to wash her hands.
Annoyed at being ignored, Francine put her hands on her hips and shouted, “Hey! Just where the heck were you for
the past six months?”

foam. “What does that have anything to do with you?” she asked breezily.
Francine frowned. “Of course it does! You’re my sister-in-law! How can you run away from home without thinking
about our feelings?”
Corinne chuckled softly. “I’m sorry, but you’re mistaken. I’m not your sister-in-law. In fact, your sister-in-law is the
woman that came with you.”
Francine did not catch her meaning at first, but realization then dawned on her. “Are you talking about Sophia?
She’s not—”
“Francine!” interrupted Sophia, walking in with a smile.
Francine glared at her. She did not like Sophia one bit. “What are you doing here?”
“Grandma asked me to come get you,” replied Sophia with a wide grin.
Francine blinked. “Grandma is asking for me? Why? She asked me to accompany Corinne to the restroom, didn’t
she?”
“She needs her heart medicine in her bag, which you’re carrying.”
Francine looked down and realized she was, indeed, carrying Pamela’s bag. ‘Grandma must’ve been too excited to
see Corinne that she needs her medicine to calm down.’
At that thought, she quickly strode outside while saying, “I’m going to find her now.”
Once Francine was out of the restroom, Sophia took out her lipstick from her bag and walked over to Corinne to
reapply her lipstick. She smiled at Corinne through the reflection of the mirror.
“Miss Corinne, you are as beautiful as they say you are. Why, you don’t even need makeup to look beautiful!
However, I do wonder why you’re willing to come out without a mask when you didn’t seem to want to do that

yesterday.”
Corinne washed away the foam on her hand, turned off the tap, and pulled out some tissue to dry her hand.
“There’s no need for disguises anymore. Mister Jeremy already knows where I am.”
Sophia smacked her lips together and put the cap back on her lipstick after she finished reapplying her lipstick. “You
sound like you don’t want him to find you. Why is that?”
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “Miss Sophia, I’m pretty sure you don’t want him to find me too. You don’t actually
have anything to worry about. I’m not interested in getting back with him, so your position is safe.”
Sophia shook her head and smiled. “No, you’re wrong. I do want him to find you and am glad that you two have
finally reunited. It really is nice to meet you, Miss Corinne.”
Corinne narrowed her eyes, wondering whether Sophia was telling the truth.
