Chapter 1543
Corinne deleted the message after reading it. At the very least, she was able to
put on an act to ensure that Sophia did not suspect anything. They could not
allow Sophia to realize they had uncovered the truth. Sophia would only let her
guard down if she felt that she was still in control of the situation. There was
always a possibility that Sophia might go to the extreme and threaten them with
Bryan's safety.
"Mommy, did Sophia come and look for me earlier?" Benjamin asked uneasily.
Even though he had not seen Sophia, he was certain he had heard her voice.
Corinne held her son close and reassured him, "No. I won't let her take you away
again. Don't worry."
Benjamin's unease toward Sophia made Corinne worry about Bryan. She
wondered if Sophia might target Bryan. Retrieving Bryan was not possible, at
least not at that moment. It would only raise suspicion and work against their
current situation. She hoped that Jeremy would be aware of Bryan's existence
and take steps to protect the boy despite having lost his memory.
Corinne brought the kids home as soon as she bought toys forthem and
comforted them. She then turned on her computer and used several special
methods to decode the source of the text she received on her phone. She
wanted to try and contact Jeremy.
Elsewhere, at Estee Bistro, Annie sipped her orange juice by the window and
spaced out as she gazed at the street. She had waited more than 40 minutes for
the blind date her mother had arranged.
Annie's mood was souring fast, and sitting around waiting for someone she had
no interest in made it worse. She just had a morning session with her therapist,
who encouraged her to try dating again instead of letting fear hold her back.
As a result, she reluctantly agreed to meet the blind date her family had set up
for her. She figured that someone her family recommended would be more
decent than some random men she got to know elsewhere. After all, she had a
history of attracting the wrong kind of men. Alas, her blind date was not much
better than the others. Annie could not help but grumble about the man's
tardiness, for she had a particular loathing for people who had no sense of
urgency.
She was a little moody when a man at a nearby table pulled out a chair and sat
across from her.
When Annie snapped out of her senses and looked at the man, she was so
startled that she nearly spat out the orange juice she had just sipped.
She coughed violently and asked herself, “What kind of person is he?"

The man sitting across from her was
much, much older than her. He had
the old-fashioned style and reeked of
grease. Worse of all, he had very little
hair left on his head! That did not look
remotely like the top student her
mother mentioned. The content is on

Qualifications notwithstanding, his
appearance did not match that of a
recent graduate from a top
university. He was more like a top
i 3
student from her father's generation!
