NovelEnglishChapter 1769 Annie blushed and said, "What are you doing? Miss Xante and Corinne are looking at US. Letgo now. Behave yourself!" Aaron laughed. "It's okay. They're not outsiders. Have you picked out a wedding dress? Can | see you wearing it?" Annie tried to remove his hands from her. "Stop it right now..." Xante glanced sideways at Aaron. She was used to his antics. Thus, she turned to talk to Corinne.

"If | had known you were going to be like this, | wouldn't have let you come!" Corinne ignored the young couple's lovey-dovey act. Instead, she discussed with Xante about recent happenings in Adam's company. After a while, her phone rang.
She took out her phone and saw the call was from an unknown number. She would not typically answer a call from an unknown number, but at that moment, she was worried Jeremy had used someone else's number to call her. Thus, she answered the call.
What she heard at the other end of the line was not a man's voice but a little girl's voice she was familiar with.
"Is this Miss Corinne?" Corinne frowned, and after putting a face to the voice, she finally said," Yes. It's me." "Miss Corinne, do you remember me? I'm Lilin, the daughter of the woman you saved before. We met each other at the restaurant that day, too..." Corinne had guessed who she was, so she was not surprised. However, she remembered to be careful as she was Adam's daughter.

My mom and | have something to tell you." ‘Adam's wife and daughter are askingout?' thought Corinne. She did not know that Melinda and Lilin had run away from home, nor did she know Melinda and Adam were getting a divorce. She simply thought something was not right.
After thinking about it, Corinne replied, "If you want to talk about repayingfor saving your mother’s life, it's not necessary. You don't need to repay me." "No, it's not about that. Miss Corinne, we have something very, very important to tell you," explained Lilin quickly.
‘Something important to tell me? Is it about Jeremy and Benjamin?' wondered Corinne. That certainly piqued her curiosity. "What is it about?" "Um... It's not convenient to talk on the phone about it. Just letknow when we can meet. You can choose the place." Corinne thought over it with a frown on her face. "Fine. I'll text you the tand place later." "Yay! See you later then, Miss Corinne," exclaimed Lilin happily.
The puzzled frown never left Corinne's face even after she hung up the phone.
Xante could tell something was amiss, so she asked her, "Boss, who was it? Corinne snapped out of her thoughts and looked into Xante's eyes. "It was Adam's younger daughter, Ulin."
