Chapter 1514
It was already dark by the time Corinne and the kids got home.
She had planned to take the kids home after eating at the restaurant, but Sunny insisted
on taking them to the indoor playground to play for a while.
Naturally, the three kids were eager to go, and she did not have the heart to say no to
them when she saw their big puppy eyes looking at her.
Once they arrived at the indoor playground, Corinne called Francine to tell her that they
would be home later than usual.
Francine immediately sensed something was not right from Corinne's tone alone.
"Corinne, are you okay? Why do you sound so tired? Are you not feeling well?"
"It's nothing. I'm fine. Remember to tell Grandma that well be home late, or she's going to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtworry again."
"Okay..."
Corinne pinched the bridge of her nose after she hung up the phone. She was physically
alright, but her mental state was failing. That was why she sounded a little off on the
phone.
However, she felt better after watching her three kids playing happily on the giant
trampoline.
As soon as Corinne entered the mansion, she heard the sound of people talking, but those
voices did not belong to Pamela or Greg.
She ushered the kids to the living room and saw Xante, Annie, and Francine having a good
time talking to each other.
'Huh. Never thought they'd have something common to talk about,' thought Corinne.
She cleared her throat, and the three women turned to look at her.

Annie's eyes lit up. "Corinne, you're finally back!”
Xante immediately stood up to welcome her. "Hey, Boss."
She then squatted to greet the three kids. "Hey, kids. It's been a while. Do you guys miss
me?"
Out of the three kids, Christine liked Xante the most as she thought she was pretty. In fact,
she thought Xante to be the second prettiest person after Corinne, so she was the first
one to hug her.
"Auntie Xante! I miss you so much!" said the little girl.
Being a boy, Joey was not as daring as Christine in showing his affection to Xante. He
shyly greeted her instead, "Hello, Auntie Xante."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Bryan' remained stuck to Corinne's side. He wrapped his arms around her leg and looked
at Xante with alarm.
'That's weird. He’d usually hug me like Christine whenever he saw me. I wonder what's up
with him today,' thought Xante.
"Bryan, don't you like Auntie Xante anymore?" she asked the little boy.
'Bryan' had no idea who Xante was at all, so he simply hid behind Corinne.
Xante frowned for a second. She then picked up Christine. "Boss, is Bryan okay? Did he
get scolded by you again?"
Corinne looked down at her son, who had become shy and timid suddenly. She, too, was
wondering why he had been acting weirdly for the past few days.
