Chapter 1582
Just when she had no idea what she should do, Corentin, who was next to her, said, "Let's go. Don't let Ash get suspicious."
However, Jeremy did not move. He was so dazed that he looked like he was numbed. Clearly, he was too saddened. "I want to be alone."
Anne and Corentin understood. Both his parents were murdered, so how could he be calm?
"Why don't I stay here to keep you company?" Anne was worried.
"I'm fine," Jeremy said flatly.
Therefore, they left him there alone.
Anne left in Corentin's car. Jeremy's lonely figure as he stood in front of the tombstones could be seen outside the car window as they drove past him.
If Jeremy had been so beaten by the news, Ashlynn would be much worse.
They could not imagine the consequences.
Just like Corentin said, they absolutely could not let Ashlynn know for the sake of the child in her belly...
Corentin went to the company while Anne went to the mansion.
After all, it would be too strange for them to return together.
Ashlynn would wonder if Anne leaving the mansion in a hurry has something to do with Corentin.
Ashlynn was sitting in the living room and watching the parenthood channel. When she saw Anne coming in, she felt embarrassed and switched the channel.
Anne was already back to normal. She sat down next to Ashlynn and asked, "Why did you stop watching? What's there to be embarrassed about? This is the mental state of every mother. It's very normal."
"I just wanted to watch and prepare myself in advance."
"I've done homework like these as well when I was pregnant with the triplets. But you don't have to be nervous. Corentin will help you get everything prepared. It's fine if you don't know anything," said Anne.
"Mm-hmm." Ashlynn nodded. The happiness on her face could not be concealed.
Anne, however, felt bad when she saw it.
She was completely clueless that something had already happened to her parents and both of them were already gone from this world.
"Oh, yes, Anne, you won't be returning before next week, right?"
"What's the matter?"
”My mum's birthday. Stay here, and let's have dinner together, alright?" Ashlynn looked at her with anticipation.
Anne, however, was stunned for a moment.
Ashlynn saw that her expression was strange, so she hurriedly said, "It's fine if you have something to do. I just...wanted to be with my best friend at such a happy birthday party..."
"Alright," Anne agreed.
Ashlynn could not help but laugh. "Really? If your business is delayed, I'm not going to take responsibility, alright?"
"What business would I have?" Anne looked at Ashlynn, who was immersed in happiness as she thought about how to celebrate her mother's birthday, and she was very heavy-hearted.
How was it possible to still have a birthday celebration?
She was no longer around.
Did Corentin know about the birthday celebration? She should tell him in advance so he would not be caught off guard when the time came.
Corentin said on the phone, 'TH handle it."
Anne felt relieved.
However, could they hide it from her like that until she delivers the child?
Corentin came back for dinner like usual.
At the dining table, Ashlynn did not have a good appetite because of her pregnancy, so the portions of her meal were very small. This time, her appetite was even worse. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Ashlynn rubbed her belly. "I think I don't want to eat anymore... Why is my appetite getting worse?"
Anne's eyes were a little shifty, and she did not dare to think in another direction.
"Don't eat anymore, then. Have some soup." Corentin personally got a small bowl of soup for her and placed it in front of her.
Then, he scooped that bit of food that Ashlynn did not finish into his own bowl and finished it.
Ashlynn lowered her gaze awkwardly, and there was even a faint flush on her face.
He ate her leftovers in front of Anne. That was truly too embarrassing!
If she had known that earlier, she would have finished the last few bites even if she had ended up stuffed!
