Chapter 891
Bowen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Francine. Ma'am has brought back your bag and instructed one of the
maids to put it in your coatroom."
Francine sighed in relief and stared at Corinne with a frown. "You're playing tricks on me again, Corinne!"
Corinne casually ate and asked, "What time did you come home after distributing flyers with Chester yesterday?"
Francine blushed upon hearing Chester's name and responded shyly, ■ Umm, some time past eight, I think?"
Corinne pursed her lips. "There probably aren't a lot of students at the school gate by six, right? Where did the two
of you go after that?"
"We didn't go anywhere. We just took a stroll!" Francine lowered his head shyly and continued eating.
Bowen came over with a water bottle to fill Corinne's glass. As he did that, he whispered to her, "Ma'am, the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbodyguards saw her eating at a roadside shack with a boy. The boy even kept her company until they reached
home!"
'No wonder Francine is this cheery. Things are going very well between them!' Corinne was not too surprised to
hearthat. Her junior, Chester, had been raised well enough by his family, and he would never let a girl go home
alone.
A sudden thought then occurred to Francine as she said, "By the way, Corinne, my grandparents will be coming
home in another two days."
"I see," Corinne responded curtly and showed little reaction as she ate.
She had met Pamela before, so she knew that the old lady was very kind. On the other hand, she had not met Greg
yet. Rumor had it that he bargained to only undergo an operation if Jeremy got married.
Francine frowned and said, "Grandma likes you a lot, but Grandpa has very high standards. He might not be entirely
satisfied with you as his granddaughter-in-law! You need to be mentally prepared."
"Thanks for the reminder." Corinne was still busy eating and remained somewhat absent-minded.
'How am I supposed to be mentally prepared? I can't even be sure that we will end up becoming a family in the
future! Ugh, I'll just roll with it.'
At that moment, a servant walked in and said, "Ma'am, someone who claims to be your schoolmate is asking to see
you."
This alerted Francine before Corinne could explain the situation. "Is it a man or a woman?"
The servant said truthfully. "It's a man."
Francine frowned. "What's going on, Corinne? How could you invite a man over when my brother isn't home?"
Corinne raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "Why do you sound even more jealous than your brother? Can't I be
friends with someone of the opposite gender?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrancine blinked uneasily. She raised her chin and snorted arrogantly. "Teh! No one's jealous of you! You're
overthinking!"
Corinne merely turned and said to the servant, "I called him here. Let him in."
"Understood." The servant dutifully went and invited the person in.
After a while, the servant came back with none other than Chester.
As soon as Francine saw that the guest was Chester, she immediately realized that she could not meet him in
pajamas and bed hair. In a split second, she jumped up and ran upstairs like the wind.
Chester had just stepped into the dining hall when he saw a figure disappearing upstairs. "What's up with her?"
Corinne smiled faintly and said, "Oh, she just went back to her room to get her phone! You're here pretty early,
though. Have you had breakfast yet?"
Chester had a disappointed expression as he looked at Corinne, but he tried his best to act naturally. "I have,
thanks."
Corinne raised her hand and gestured toward the chair. "Well, in that case, take a seat."
The servant stepped forward and pulled a chair for Chester, who walked over and sat down. "Whose homework do
you want me to help with? Are there any children at your home?" he asked.
