‘So that makes Lucas my brother? How can we even share the same mother when he’s so arrogant and mean? This is-”

“Corinne?” Jason asked the waiter for a new fork. Then he waved it in front of the zoned-out

Corinne.

Corinne snapped out of her trance. She frowned and looked solemnly at him. “Jason, are you sure about what you told me just now?”

“Of course! Don’t you remember I told you that I met Nellie Nymphaea when I was little? That’s because she and my dad are old friends. The three paintings in my gallery were given by

her to my dad many years ago,” Jason replied.

Corinne had mixed feelings about the answer. ‘If my mom is Lucas’s mom too then that means I’m connected to the Riveras in some way. I wonder if that family has something to do with my mom going missing.’

After observing Corinne’s reaction, Jason said thoughtfully, “Corinne, can I ask why you’re looking for Nellie Nymphaea?”

Corinne did not answer him. She was still reeling from the shock of the news. Her mind was all jumbled up and she did not want to tell him that Nellie Nymphaea was her mother.

Ten seconds passed and Jason still did not get an answer from her so he simply smiled and said, “It’s okay. You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to but I have another question I want to ask you. Is that okay?”

Corinne suddenly lost her appetite. She took another sip of the lemon water and said, “Yeah, go ahead.”

Jason looked deeply into her eyes. “Can I court you now?”

Corinne was a little taken aback but she rolled her eyes and him and chuckled wryly. “Kind Sir, don’t tell me you came to a gallery in Thalassa just to flirt with me?”

Jason put away his teasing smile and said seriously, “Corinne, I’m being serious. I’m not flirting with you. I’m being sincere when I say I want to court you.”

“Is there a difference?”

“Of course. Flirting is just for fun but with courting, I’m doing it with marriage in mind.”

‘Marriage? That’s funny. A guy I used to know also told me he wanted to marry me for real and look what happened. All men are the same. When they say they want to court a woman, it just means they want to see if they can win over you to satisfy their ego,’ thought Corinne.

“Previously, you were Jeremy’s wife in name and he’s my friend so it was impossible between

However, now that we’re both single, it’s not wrong for me to tell you I have feelings for you,” Jason added after getting no response from her.

Corinne picked up some duck meat from the plate and said, “I’m sorry but it’s a hard me.” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“How come?”

“I have no time nor the mood to be in a relationship right now. If you want to love someone, go find someone else in court. You’re not that bad looking so I’m pretty sure girls will be lining up to be your girlfriend in no time.”

Jason raised his eyebrow. “But I’m only interested in you.”

Corinne was about to argue with him but he beat her to it, “Corrine, I know what you were going to say but can you please at least think about it first before turning me down so quickly? I know you’re not interested in getting into a relationship right now but who’s to say you’ll feel the same way in the future? I don’t mind waiting for you so I’m only asking that you’ll think of me first should that time ever come, okay?”

Corinne frowned in disbelief. “Jason, what exactly do you see in me?”

Jason smiled impishly as though he knew just how irresistible he was and that he could charm anyone at the drop of the hat. “I don’t know how to answer that. I just know that I like you!”
