NovelEnglishChapter 1617
Corinne only worried about her mother, her kids, and Jeremy.
There was a burst of noise coming from outside the room, as well as the sound of kids jumping and chattering.
Lucas did not pay attention to the noise outside. He just hugged Corinne gently, enjoying her momentary
vulnerability. In the past, she would push him away without hesitation, so it was rare for her to rely on him like
that.
However, the good times did not last long, and the door was suddenly pushed open by someone.
"Corinne! I'm here with the kids! Corinne... Ah! What are you doing?!" shouted Francine suddenly, shocking
Corinne.
Francine could not see Lucas' face from where she was standing. As soon as she opened the door, she saw

Although she was not a man and she did not like Corinne in that way, she still saw Corinne as hers!
‘Gah! My one and only Corinne is being touched by another man!" thought Francine. Plus, it was impossible for
her to remain indifferent for the sake of Jeremy!
"Who are you? Who's taking advantage of my sister-in-law?! How dare you try to steal her away while my brother
isn't around!"
She angrily walked over to give the man a piece of her mind, but once she was there, she realized the man was
none other than Lucas.
Francine already knew Lucas and Corinne were siblings, even though
Corinne never admitted it directly, so there was nothing wrong with them hugging at all.
She immediately laughed when she realized that she was making a fuss out of nothing. "Oh, so it's you, Lucas!
Hahaha. | thought it was sother guy who was trying to seduce Corinne!"
Lucas glanced at Francine coldly. "How can you be so sure she's your Corinne? It doesn't mean she's your family
just because you call her yours. With all due respect, if she's willing to accept another man, then it's also her
business. You have no right to interfere."
Francine was a little unhappy after hearing this. "Of course she's my family! She gave birth to Jeremy's kids!
Plus, | can say the sabout you! You have no right to meddle in my family's affair just because she's your
sister! Corinne will always be my Corinne. Even without my brother, she will still be my Corinne!"
Lucas scoffed. "You call her your sister-in-law, but she's not even legally married to your brother! You Holdens are
always so selfish and don't consider other people's lives! Have you forgotten how Jeremy treated her in the past
and how much she sacrificed for your family over the years? How dare you stop her from dating or marrying
another man?"

Francine tensed up; she knew reason was not on her side. Even so, she muttered, “It's not like Jeremy went
missing on purpose. | know for a fact that he loves Corinne very much. And if he hadn't gone missing, he
would've treated her like his queen! Otherwise, why would she patiently wait for him to cback? She's not
stupid, you know!"
Lucas frowned. He felt that the Holdens only cared about themselves. In other words, they did not care about
Corinne's happiness. "You little..." "That's enough!" interrupted Corinne. Mister Lucas, you should know better
than to argue with a young girl like Francine."
Lucas pursed his lips and said nothing more.
Francine felt like she had won. She sidled up to Corinne and said, "Corinne, what | said made sense, right?"
Corinne's lips twitched helplessly. "Where are the kids?" "They're playing outside with Sunny. They immediately
jumped with joy when they heard they were coming over. | was worried they'd be quite a handful for you, so |
tagged along to help!"
