Corinne smiled coldly. "So what if you heard everything? I have nothing to hide. However, there's one thing you got wrong. We don't need to get a divorce because we were never legally married in the first place!"
Francine was struck speechless.
Corinne massaged her temples tiredly. "If there's nothing else, I'm going back to sleep now."
"There is something else!" said Francine with a frown. "Joey just woke up and was crying for you, so I brought him here."
Corinne glanced coldly at the pitiful Joey. "He's your brother's adopted son, so he has nothing to do with me. You should call your brother and ask him to take the kid off your hand."
After that, she closed the door. Halfway through, however, she stopped when she felt something had wrapped itself around her legs. She looked down and saw Joey looking up at her with big sad puppy eyes.
"Auntie Sissy… Joey wants to stay with you…" he said with a pout.
Even though Corinne decided to cut ties with Jeremy, which meant she did not want to involve herself in any of his business, she could not help but feel moved when she saw Joey like that.
After some hesitation, she decided to take in Joey for the time being. She led him into her room by his hand.
Before Corinne closed the door, Francine decided to try one last time to make her come around.
Corinne was a little taken aback. "You shouldn't be thinking about all this. Go to sleep, little guy."
Joey pouted. "Auntie Sissy don't want Joey anymore?"
Corinne did not know what to say to him. As much as she pitied him, there was no denying she was not related to him in any way. It was not up to her to say whether she wanted him or not.
Afraid she would abandon him, Joey grabbed Corinne's hand tightly.
"If Auntie Sissy go, Joey go also…"
