Chapter 1240

After that, Corinne went back to her room.

Annie looked down sadly. ‘Seems like Corinne is going to break up with Uncle Jeremy, after all.’

“You can stay in my room tonight if you want,” said Aaron with a smirk.

Annie looked up at him and could not help but chuckle wryly when she recalled their conversation from

moments before. “Thanks, but I’d prefer sleeping in the living room.”

Even if Corinne did not want to talk to her, Annie insisted on staying as she wanted to keep an eye on

her for Jeremy. ‘What if Corinne disappeared again like last time?’ she thought.

Aaron smiled. It seemed like he had forgotten about the rejection. “So you’re sure you’re staying

tonight, huh? Good. You can cook dinner, then. I want to taste your cooking.”

Annie turned red in the face and looked at him in disbelief. “But I’m the guest here! How can you ask

the guest to cook for you?”

Aaron shrugged and smirked, making Annie want to punch him in the face.

“Well, it’s not like I have a choice since I don’t know how to cook. Plus, it’ll be unhealthy to order

takeout for Corinne. So what do you say? Are you willing to sacrifice a little for your aunt’s sake?”

Annie was speechless. ‘D*mn this prick!’

…

Meanwhile, at the emergency ward.

The nurse had wrapped a bandage around Sophia’s forehead and told her to make sure to keep the

bandage dry.

Sophia nodded to show she understood before getting up and walking out of the emergency ward.

Outside, Jeremy was talking on the phone with a serious expression on his face.

‘It must be a call about work,’ thought Sophia. She waited quietly for him to hang up the phone before

walking to him.

“Jeremy, the nurse said I’m fine, so you can go back to work if you want. There must be a lot of things

you need to take care of since the company just moved to the new building.”

Jeremy glanced at her bandaged forehead. He then put away his phone and lifted his chin lightly. “It’s

fine. Let’s go. I’ll give you a ride back to your hotel.”

Sophia had been staying at the hotel for the past six months.

Jeremy did not give her a chance to say anything before shoving his hands into his pockets and

walking off.

Sophia stared at his back dazedly, but she quickly shook her head and followed after him.

“Jeremy, I think you should go check on Corinne. She’s probably still mad at you right now,” said

Sophia worriedly.

Jeremy’s face instantly darkened at the mention of Corinne’s name.

“I’m really sorry… The two of you finally got to see each other after six months, yet I made you two

fight,” said Sophia. “Hey, how about this? You take me with you to see her, and I’ll explain that there’s

nothing going on between us. What do you say?”

Jeremy scoffed and kept walking. “Do you think she’ll care about that?”

Sophia was a little taken aback. “Are you saying she doesn’t care about you anymore? But she’s

carrying your baby, right? How can she not care about her baby’s daddy?”

Jeremy’s face darkened even more at the mention of the baby. ‘Not only does that little rascal not care

about me, but she wishes so much that I won’t have anything to do with the baby!’

It was obvious from what Corinne told him in the restaurant that she had no intention of letting him be

involved in the baby’s life.

Jeremy got into the driver’s seat while Sophia took the front passenger seat.
