After lunch, Xante stepped out to take a call, leaving Corinne alone in the room when
suddenly someone knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock!
Corinne knew Xante would not knock before coming in, so her eyes suddenly became
filled with hope again. “Come in!”
Jason came in with a smile and carried a whole load of expensive supplements in his
hands. “Hey, Corinne. It’s been a while. Congratulations on giving birth to twins!”
Corinne’s eyes instantly dimmed a little when she saw it was Jason. “Thanks,” she said
with a perfunctory smile.
Jason put down the bags of supplements on a table before walking over to her bed.
“Sorry for not visiting you sooner. I was quite busy with work and thought that your due
date was still some time away. I came rushing over here right after finding out from Lucas
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat you’ve given birth.”
Apart from his flirtatious nature, Corinne had always been grateful for all the help Jason
had given her before. Thus, she nodded and said, “Thanks for taking the trouble to visit
me. You don’t have to do or buy me all these expensive supplements.”
“How can I come without bearing gifts?” asked Jason with a smile. He then looked around
the room and asked, “Where’s Jeremy? Shouldn’t he be here with you?”
Corinne fell silent.
Jason instantly knew something must have happened. “Ahem! How can he not be here for
you during your delivery? Doesn’t he know how to prioritize his wife and his work?”
Corinne was not in the mood to talk about Jeremy, so she tried to change the topic,
“Mister Jason, feel free to take a bottle of mineral water there if you’re thirsty. Sorry for not
getting up to give you one because… Well, you know.”
Jason smiled. “It’s okay. I’m not thirsty.”
There was an awkward silence as Corinne turned to look outside the window at the blue
sky streaked with a plane’s trail.
“Corinne, do you regret it?” asked Jason softly.
Stunned, Corinne looked at him and asked curiously, “Regret what?”
Jason stared deeply into her eyes. “Do you regret choosing a man who doesn’t care about
you? I mean, he didn’t even come when you gave birth to his own kid!”
Corinne frowned. “He’s not as bad as you say he is. Of course, I am angry at him, so I’m
going to teach him a lesson when he’s back.”
Jason laughed mockingly. “And what if he doesn’t come back?”
Corinne raised an eyebrow. “That’s not possible. His home is here. Even if it weren’t for
me, he’ll still come back.”
Jason narrowed his eyes meaningfully. “Corinne, I won’t comment on whether you were
right to choose Jeremy to be your husband. But, like I said, I’ll always be here if you need
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmme. I’ll always welcome you with open arms when you’re ready to be with me.”
Corinne was quite speechless. Her lips twitched as she asked, “Don’t you think it’s
shameless to say something like that to a woman who has just given birth?”
Jason smiled. “Not at all. I’m the type that doesn’t pass up any opportunity to let you know
how I feel.”
Corinne was at a complete loss for words. She found Jason odd since most of the men she
knew would prefer a girl with a blank slate. However, it seemed like Jason had a penchant
for girls who were already married with kids.
‘Is this some sort of fetish for him?’ she wondered.
At that moment, Xante finished her call and went back inside the room. She was not
surprised to see Jason there at all. She gave him a nod and then said to Corinne, “Boss,
the doctor said you’re recovering well and can be discharged tomorrow.”
“Okay,” said Corinne simply, though there was no hiding the disappointment that flashed
across her eyes.
She was about to be discharged, yet Jeremy never once showed up.
