Chapter 525
‘Huh?!’ Corinne scoffed inwardly.
At the sushi restaurant, Cherry Blossom.
Anya first placed Joey in the baby highchair before passing Corinne the menu and saying
warmly, “Corinne, order whatever you want from the menu. There’s no need to be shy around us, okay?”
Corinne waved her hand and did not take the menu.
Jason smiled and took the menu from Anya’s hand and put it between himself and Corinne.
“Thank you, Anya. Corinne and I will share a menu, Corinne, what do you want to have?”
Anya smiled and asked coyly, “Jason, you’re so nice to Corinne. Could it be?”
“Oh, so you can tell too!” said Jason with an equally coy smile.
The corners of Corinne’s mouth began to twitch.
‘And here I thought he knew how to rein it in. Well, it didn’t take long for him to show his true
colors.’
While she was looking at the menu, Corinne could feel someone giving her the death stare from across the table and this made
her extremely uncomfortable. The stare seemed to have. come out from eyes so cold that one would become instantly frozen if
one was to meet those.
eyes.
“Jeremy, what do you want to have?” Anya, with the menu in her hands, turned to ask Jeremy, only to see him staring at Corinne.
Her eyes immediately dimmed but she quickly put on a “happy” smile again and repeated her question one more time, “Jeremy,
what do you want to have? I’ll help you order it!”
Jeremy pulled his eyes away from Corinne and replied indifferently, “I’ll have anything you
order.”
Anya smiled sweetly. “Okay, then I’ll order your usual.”
That simple little sentence, spoken so casually, revealed just how much she understood Jeremy’s likes and dislikes and at the
same time let everyone know just how close they were to each other.
Corinne ordered two salad rolls and pushed the menu toward Jason, who ordered another two cold side dishes before gracefully
giving back the menu to the waiter.
There were not many customers in the restaurant so their food arrived very fast.
‘Didn’t Anya say her son wanted something lighter? Why did she order fried food for him then?’ thought Corinne. She
immediately felt vomit rising to her throat when she smelled the greasy food.
Lately, she could not handle the smell of fried food and the hardest thing to control was pregnancy sickness. She turned her face
away from everyone and started retching. After patting herself on the chest, she could finally feel the vomit going down again.
She then turned around and realized Jason, Jeremy, and Anya were all looking at her weirdly.
Corinne cleared her throat, pulled out a piece of tissue, and calmly wiped her mouth with it. Sorry about that. My tummy hasn’t
been feeling well these few days so I can’t stand the smell of oil.”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes, picked up his glass of water, and took a sip of it. As if suspecting her words, his eyes began to
darken with focus as he tried to capture every little expression of her face like the all-seeing eye of god.
