Aaron and Xante glanced at each other. Both of their hearts went out to Corinne. Since she was little,Corinne never experienced what it felt like to have the love of a family. Instead, she was sent to thecountryside to suffer all kinds of hardships. They saw with their own eyes the amount of blood, sweat,and tears for Corinne to get to where she was today.

Seeing Corinne so down, Aaron decided to change to a more cheerful topic. “Boss, let’s go and havefun at the bar now that you’ve gotten your engagement gifts back.”

‘Drinking in broad daylight? No thanks!’ thought Corinne. She was in no mood to be drinking so shewaved her hands and said, “Aaron, go replace out if any grand mansions have been. demolished inThalassa in the past twenty years. If there is, replace out the original owner of the mansion. Also, sendsomeone to replace out about an ex-student called Em Love in Thalassa University and send me theinformation once you have it.”

Aaron could send this was important to her so he asked seriously, “Em Love, is that your mother’sname?”

Corinne nodded. ‘Mister Carew might think my mom has been killed by her enemy but I have a feelingshe’s still alive.”

Xante turned around and pushed up her gold-rimmed spectacles. She then frowned when she saw howpale Corinne was. “Maybe we should get something to eat first. Look at how skinny she has become!”

Aaron looked at Corinne and nodded in agreement with what Xante said. He then smiled and teasinglysaid, “Boss, don’t tell me you have no appetite because you’re missing Mister Jeremy too much. Agood meal is a balm for the soul! It’ll be my treat today so what do

you wanna eat?

Xante side-eyed him. “You’re buying her lunch? Has it ever crossed your mind that you won’t be whereyou are today if it wasn’t for her? Why, you wouldn’t even have two pennies to rub together!”

Aaron was not in agreement with her. “That’s why I’m buying her a meal! What’s so wrong. with that?”

Xante was annoyed with him. She pushed up her gold-rimmed spectacles and scoffed. “Let’s go tohave some grilled lamb chops then. The weather’s getting colder and eating lamb can warm us up. Theboss has always loved the fat on the lamb at this time of the year.”

At the mention of grilled lamb chops, Corinne immediately thought of the smell and taste of very well-done grilled lamb chops. Usually, she would be salivating at the thought but for some reason, she feltsick to the stomach this time.

Suddenly, she could not control herself anymore. She quickly rolled down the window, poked

her head out, and started retching. After a while, she felt better and popped her head back into the car.While taking some deep breaths, she noticed both Xante and Aaron were looking at her as if they werewondering whether she was.

They grew up together so she, of course, knew what they were thinking from the way they were lookingat her. Corinne scrunched up her face and said, “Oh, stop looking at me like that. It’s not what you thinkI’m just feeling a little queasy in the stomach, that’s all.”

It was obvious Aaron thought she was pregnant. He smiled mischievously and said, “Oh really? Thentell me something, boss. Have you and Mister Jeremy been using protection all this while?”

Corinne yawned nonchalantly. “There’s no need for that since we sleep in separate bedrooms.”

Aaron drew his brows together. “What? And let all that hotness go to waste? How can you bear tosleep apart from such a hot guy, boss?”

Xante could not bear to listen to where the conversation was going anymore. She slapped Aaron hardon the arm and said, “Hey, just whose side are you on? Our boss is the hot one in the relationship,okay? Mister Jeremy should count himself lucky to have her as his wife!”

“Ouch!” Aaron massaged the spot where Xante slapped him. He then laughed and said, “I guess you’reright.”

Xante rolled her eyes at him and added, “But, to be on the safe side, you should get a pregnancy testat the drugstore for her.”

Corinne was speechless.
