Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies novel Chapter 889

Chapter 889

“You must be joking. We are uneducated and will only embarrass ourselves if we try working in the Lloyd Group, “Paul said, “I opened this bar and these fellows helped me out with it. Corentin comes by for a drink from time to time. You know that Corentin is busy running the company. Don’t worry, though. We will keep an eye on him. If he tries going to another woman, we will tell you.”

Ashlynn did not care if they did so, but was concerned when she learnt that Paul was the owner of the bar.

A bar was a place where all sorts of people would gather and seemed fitting for people like them. On her way in, she noticed that the bar was completely packed and realized that they had been rather successful.

‘Maybe they all changed after Corentin got out of prison?‘ She thought to herself, ‘But is that really possible?‘

“Sis, here’s to you.” Paul raised his glass.

Ashlynn did not refuse and reached for her glass, when Owen said, “Sis, drink from this bottle instead. This should mean nothing to you if you are Corentin’s woman!

He was holding a bottle of liquor and Corentin shot him a warning look.

“She can’t drink that…” Paul said.

“I can,” she interrupted him.

Paul stilled, before turning to look at Corentin.

Owen slapped his palm on his thigh. “As expected of Corentin’s woman. Here, let me pour you a glass.” He took another glass and poured the liquor into it.

Ashlynn was horrible at drinking, so she knew that if she admitted defeat so easily, she could not stand a chance against them in any future encounters. There were many of them and one of them was bound to let the truth escape at a certain point.

She gulped down on the liquor in her glass and suppressed the urge to choke, but the overwhelming taste filled her mouth and brought tears to her eyes.

Corentin turned to study her face intently.

Owen poured her another glass. “Sis, here’s to you. I remember that you used to stay away from alcohol in the past. You’ve changed.”

“People change,” she said.

Owen raised his glass. “I’m just a brute so I’m going to be straight with you. Do you really love Corentin? If you do, we will let the past go.”

Ashlynn froze, her fingers tightening around her glass.

Corentin observed her face and waited for her to answer with anticipation.

“True love goes both ways. If he truly loves me, of course I will reciprocate,” she said.

“I’ll take your words for it.” Owen finished his glass of liquor, before turning it over to show her that he had finished it.
