Lucas glared at Jason. "Oh, buzz off. Stay or leave, I don't care. As long as you keep that big mouth of yours shut."
Jason shrugged and pouted. "See, you only talk to me like that! Meanwhile, you always try to please Corinne and Jeremy."
Lucas' gaze turned colder. He picked up his crutches and lifted them to hit Jason.
Seeing this, Jason quickly stood up and said with a shrug, "I'm done eating, so I think I'll take a walk. See you guys later!"
After that, he strode out of the room.
Lucas put back his crutches and sighed.
Corinne could tell Lucas and Jason were really, really good friends since they could be themselves around each other.
Lucas decided to shift his attention to Jeremy since there was nothing he could do about Corinne.
"When did you get back?" he asked him.
"Early this morning," answered Jeremy as he pulled out a tissue to wipe Joey's mouth.
Lucas' face darkened. "Hmph! How can you leave your pregnant wife while you wander abroad?"
Seeing this, Corinne—who was quite full herself—reached out her hand and said, "Mister, Joey is tired. Let me carry him back to his room. That way, you can have your breakfast too."
"I'm not hungry, so I'll bring him back to his room. Plus, you need to eat more. Don't just drink your soup, okay?" said Jeremy gently.
Jeremy then got up with Joey still in his arms and left the room before Corinne could say anything.
Before he came, Jeremy instructed Tommy to supervise Corinne and make sure she did not eat anything prepared in the summer villa.
Since he was here, Jeremy instructed Tommy to buy the ingredients from the local market and supervise the kitchen in cooking the food, so everything was safe for Corinne to eat.
