Chapter 997
Corentin got up and moved closer to Ashlynn abruptly,
She immediately held her breath and froze in place.
“You don’t need to be ready for this sort of thing.”
“A- Alright.”
He shot her a dark look. “You can’t be doing something behind my back again, can you?”
“How could I?”
“I better not find you taking contraceptive pills again. I am only willing to overlook that once!”
“I am not taking the pills. I already told you that, what more do you want?” Ashlynn panted as she spoke as though she was suffocating.
The dark expression on Corentin’s face faded as he caressed her cheek. “Good. Don’t worry, I will put a baby in you next month. Do you prefer boys or girls? How many do you want? At least two, right? With one son and one daughter. If our daughter looks like you, she must look extremely pretty…”
Ashlynn paled and trembled, as she never wanted to give birth to his children. “Two, then,” she said.
“No. Let’s have three, like the triplets Anthony has. You like them, don’t you?”
Ashlynn did love the triplets, but she had long lost the desire to have children of her own.
Just then, she frowned and covered her stomach.
“Is it hurting again?”
Ashlynn played with her dog for a short while and returned to her room, while Corentin ordered the servant to make warm milk, instructing Ashlynn to drink it before going to sleep.
She did not want to sleep, but neither did she want to face Corentin as she was still thinking about Marco.
‘This is a rare lead…‘ She thought.
Ashlynn rested for two more days, before going back to work. She did not take Corentin’s car and traveled to the office in a different car driven by a driver, as an assistant should not arrive later or at the same time as her boss.
Right before arriving at the Lloyd Group, she spotted a small local grocery shop and said, “Stop the car. I need to buy something there.”
The driver stopped the car by the road, and she got out of the car and into the shop.
She chose a pack of sanitary pad from the shelf and proceeded to the counter. Ashlynn glanced at the car outside through the door and asked the owner, “Can I borrow your phone to make a call?”
