Chapter 1245

Annie excitedly said, “Uncle Jeremy must’ve come all the way here to see you, but he’s too

embarrassed to come up here. Older men and their fragile masculinity, am I right? Let me call him up!”

After staring at Jeremy for a few seconds, Corinne reached out to close the curtains. “He’s not

welcome here.” Out of sight, out of mind.

Corinne’s indifference made the excitement on Annie’s face disappear. She pouted helplessly and

secretly opened the curtains to take a peek. Jeremy and the car were both gone. ‘Why did he have to

leave so quickly? Can’t you stand there a while longer just to show your sincerity?’

Corinne did not feel like lying down again after being pulled out of bed. “Didn’t you say you wanted to

eat? Let’s go and eat, then.”

Annie nodded and forced a smile. “Yeah! Let’s eat.”

Corinne came out of the room and went to the dining room where she took her seat at the main seat of

the table.

Annie no longer felt that awkward when she sat next to Aaron.

After everyone sat, they chatted for a moment and started to dig into the food. Annie managed to

produce some delicious food with her excellent cooking skills. She became a little embarrassed when

everyone praised her for it.

While Sunny was eating, his intrusive thoughts got the better of him and he asked, “Hey, Corinne, will

you acknowledge Xante as your godmother once your baby is born?”

Xante placed some food on his plate and hinted to him to shut up.

Sunny was oblivious to the fact that he had asked an inappropriate question, and he insisted on getting

an answer from Corinne.

Corinne glanced at him and said, “What are you trying to say?”

With a hearty smile, Sunny said, “If Xante becomes your baby’s godmother, then technically, I’m the

baby’s godfather too! That means I’ll have a godchild! I never thought I’d ever get a godchild at

eighteen years old! Hahaha!”

Everyone was speechless.

Annie rolled her eyes and was unable to wrap her head around how a mature, independent woman like

Xante would fall in love with a bumbling idiot like Sunny.

The atmosphere turned awkward after Sunny’s remark, but fortunately for everyone, the doorbell rang.

Annie stood up and said, “It must be Uncle Jeremy! He probably can’t hold himself from wanting to

meet Corinne! I’ll open the door!” She immediately ran over excitedly to open the door.

Everyone at the table looked at Corinne to see her reaction. Corinne merely staggered slightly while

she was taking some more food, and there did not seem to be any special reaction.

As soon as Annie opened the door, her smile gradually disappeared. Her eyes were filled with

disappointment.

The person who came was not Jeremy but Lucas instead.

He seemed surprised that the person who opened the door was Annie. He even looked up at the unit

number above the door and thought he had come to the wrong place.

Annie asked, “Why are you here? Are you here to pick up Sunny?”

Lucas frowned slightly. “He’s here?”

“Yeah, he is eating inside!” Annie nodded. She then yelled, “Sunny! Your brother is here to pick you

up!”

Lucas massaged his temples and said, “I’m not here to pick him up.”

Annie was puzzled. “You’re not? Then why are you here?”
