Initially, Corinne wanted to say goodbye to Mother Cathrina as well. Fearing she would interrupt her spiritual solemn moment,
however, she decided to leave silently.
As soon as she walked out of the convent, she saw Tommy standing by the car talking on the phone. “Yes, Mister Jeremy. I
understand, Mister Jeremy. I’ll make sure Miss Corinne is safe at all costs.”
Corinne frowned. ‘Looks like Tommy has told Mister where I am. But why didn’t he call or text me?’
She was finding it harder not to think that Jeremy did not care about her at all. Moreover, the Jeremy she knew was a man who
was quick to be jealous, so how could he not spam her with calls the second he knew she was with Jason?
‘Maybe it’s true what Mother Cathrina says; all men will eventually get sick of their wives. The only reason he’s asking Tommy to
protect me is not because of me but the baby I’m carrying,’ thought Corinne.
She silently got into the car.
Jason immediately came rushing out of the convent and followed her into the car too. “Corinne, why didn’t you wait for
me?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “Why should I wait for you? You should’ve come out the moment you finished eating.”
“But I needed to ask Mother Cathrina for the convent’s bank account. How should I know you’ll leave without telling me?” whined
Jason.
Corinne frowned in annoyance. “Why do you insist on donating to this convent? Don’t you have any other place to spend your
money?”
“What’s wrong with me donating to the convent?” asked Jason pitifully. “I just want to help the nuns here to live a better life!
Surely even you can see that’s a good thing to do, right?”
Corinne scoffed. “Don’t tell me you seriously think Mother Kalista is going to use that money to repair the convent! Do you know
how much money I’ve given to the convent over the years? Loads! All that, and I don’t see any repairs made to the convent at
all!”
Jason was stunned. “So you’re saying Mother Kalista is lining her pockets with the donation money?”
Corinne chuckled coldly. “I didn’t say that. But you know what? Do whatever you want. This has nothing to do with me anyway.”
Jason shrugged. “Fine. I’ll donate less than what I initially intended. When all’s said and done, you wouldn’t be where you are
right now if it wasn’t for this convent. So, I don’t mind donating a little to this place. Even if the money ends up in Mother Kalista’s
hand, I’ll just see it as thanking her for raising you.”
Corinne frowned deeply and glared at him with great annoyance. “What does it have to do with you who raised me? Don’t you
think you should stop meddling in my business?”
Jason spread out his hand nonchalantly. “Is that how you think about me? Well... I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Corinne rolled her eyes. “Then I suggest you don’t donate to the convent at all! Mother Kalista never took care of me. The only
person who ever cared for me was Mother Cathrina! I know you’re rich, Jason, but why don’t you keep all that money for your
future wife!”
