Corinne ignored Sophia’s pointed jab and instead looked at Benjamin suspiciously. She
could not get a good look at his face due to the cartoon mask he was wearing.
“How old is your kid?” Corinne asked.
“He’s two years old this year.”
‘Two years old…’ Corinne’s gaze remained fixed on the kid with the cartoon mask. Even
though his face was covered by the mask, she could still see his deep blue eyes.
Tilting his head, Benjamin stared back at her like a little puppy.
A look of alarm immediately flashed across Sophia’s face when she noticed the two of
them staring at each other.
She turned Benjamin’s head to look at her and asked, “Benjamin, have you decided what
balloon you want to get? We need to hurry up since Daddy is still waiting for us at the
hotel.”
Benjamin looked at the balloons and finally chose one in the shape of a dinosaur.
After paying quickly, Sophia smiled and said, “I have to go now, Corinne. But let’s have a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmeal together if we bump into each other again. It’ll be my treat!”
Corinne simply stared quietly at her and said nothing.
Sophia got into the black SUV with Benjamin in her arms, and the car quickly drove off.
Corinne remained standing where she was, staring at the direction the car had left while
thinking about the look in Benjamin’s eyes. She could not help but feel she had seen that
look somewhere before.
Suddenly, a waving hand appeared in front of her.
“Hello, earth to Corinne? What are you still looking at? The car left long ago!” said Jason.
Corinne snapped out of her trance and rolled her eyes at him. “You should leave too.”
Jason frowned. “Why are you asking me to leave again? I don’t have a car, so how am I
supposed to leave?”
Corinne had no sympathy for him at all. “You only have yourself to blame for that since
you insisted on getting in my car.”
Jason shrugged. “Would you have let me tag along if I didn’t do that? I mean, you’ve
already promised to let me go with you to the theme park, so why are you doing this?”
Corinne could not hide her annoyance anymore. “I never promised you. You’re the one
who invited yourself without even taking my feelings into consideration!”
Jason sighed. “So you’re saying I’m delusional?”
“No, I’m not saying that. But now that I think of it, you are delusional.”
Jason was speechless.
Not wanting to further their conversation, Corinne turned back to the entrance to wait for
Francine to come out with the kids.
Suddenly, Jason said sincerely, “Corinne, you should learn from Sophia.”
Corinne frowned. “Just exactly what am I supposed to learn from her?”
“Well, she started a life afresh, didn’t she? I mean, we all know how desperately in love
she was with Jeremy back then, yet she learned how to open up her heart to someone else
after she failed to get Jeremy. She got married and had a kid, and look at how happy she is
right now. You should do the same. Your life is yours, so you should think accordingly
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminstead of tying yourself to the Holdens.”
Corinne had expected him to say that, so she was not surprised at all. “Jason Talbot, go
home if you have nothing else better to do. I don’t need you to lecture me. Do you have
any idea how annoying you are right now?”
Jason shrugged. “Fine, I won’t say anything to make you mad anymore. I’ll just quietly
accompany you and the kids to the theme park.”
Corinne ignored him and walked toward the kindergarten entrance. Through the gate, she
saw Francine leading the twins out. Joey, with his backpack on his back, followed them
from behind.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
Corinne walked over and squatted to ruffle the twins’ hair. “Have you two been good
today?”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
The twins had just started kindergarten and were still trying to get used to it.
