The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1381

Corinne suddenly grabbed Lucas’ sleeves. “Lucas, get someone to deliver my passport to me now. I’m going to take

the next flight out to Molomia,” she said anxiously.

Lucas was taken aback by this request, and he frowned. “Nonsense, Corinne. You’re in no condition to go anywhere

right now! Be a good girl and stay home to wait for the baby to come. The baby’s safety should be your priority. But

don’t worry. I’ll get my men in Molomia to keep watch over Jeremy. You have my word that I won’t stand by and do

nothing if Jeremy needs help.”

Even if he did not like Jeremy, Lucas would still help him out because he was Corinne’s husband. Maybe that was

what people meant when they said, ‘Love me, love my dog’.

The tightness in Corinne’s chest intensified as she watched a plane take off from the airport window. She could not

help but recall all the misunderstandings that sprang between her and Jeremy when he went abroad, which

ultimately ended with them going their own ways.

‘Hopefully, things will be different now since we’ve said everything we needed to say. There’s no more

misunderstanding between us, so no matter what, I’m not going catastrophize without asking him first,’ thought

Corinne.

However, she was still worried about something bad happening to him. They had not even been separated for long,

yet she was already having separation anxiety.

Lucas could not bear to see her like that. He pulled her into his arms and proceeded to pat her gently on the back

to soothe her.

“He’s a capable man, so you should trust that he’ll be able to solve any problem that comes his way. Besides, he

wouldn’t have gotten to where he is now if he’s the type of man who needs his pregnant wife to clean up his mess.

Corinne, you shouldn’t spoil a man too much, or he’ll just become lazy and incompetent.”

His words did nothing to ease Corinne’s worries. “But he—”

“By the way, Jeremy asked us to help him out with something before he left,” interrupted Lucas.

Corinne looked up at him. “What is it?”

Lucas gestured with his chin in a particular direction.

Corinne turned around and saw Edmund leading Joey to them. He had gone to the Holdens’ mansion to fetch the

boy.

Joey looked scared, but his eyes immediately lit up when he saw Corinne. He ran over to her and wrapped his little

arms around her leg as though she was his long-lost mother.

“Auntie Sissy!”

Corinne was pleasantly surprised. She looked down at the top of his head. “Joey…”

‘This kid has grown taller. And he can talk and walk better than before too!’ she mused.

Joey hugged her tightly. “Auntie Sissy, you’re back. I thought you didn’t want me anymore,” he said with teary eyes.

Corinne’s heart ached to see him like that. She patted his head softly. “Yeah, I’m back.”

Being a kid, Joey held no grudge toward their separation from before. All he felt at that moment was the joy of

reuniting with Corinne.

“Auntie Sissy, Daddy said I must take care of you while he’s on a business trip. He also said that we’ll welcome my

baby sister when he’s back.”

‘Baby sister?’ Corinne’s lips twitched. ‘How can he be sure it’s a baby girl?’
