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?

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?”
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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou 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!”
