Semua Bab The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Bab 1311 - Bab 1320

Lucas stared at Corinne for a while before suddenly offering a gentle smile. "It's nothing. You don't look too good today. Did you not sleep well last night?""Yeah, I had a few weird dreams."Lucas stood up and stroked Corinne's hair. "You shouldn't think too much before you go to sleep. You won't get weird dreams that way.""Sure, whatever," said Corinne lightly.After that, Lucas turned to Sunny and said sternly, "Sunny, I've informed your school you'll be taking the day off today, so you can stay home with Corinne."Sunny did a double-take when he heard Lucas. 'What? Is Lucas being serious? This is the first time he's ever done that for me!' he thought happily.Seeing how happy Sunny was, Lucas reminded him solemnly, "But that doesn't mean you don't have to do your homework. You have to finish them before I come home from work today, okay?""Got it," said Sunny with a nod. 'Why do I still have to do my homework when I don't have to go to school? Oh well, it's better than hav

Xante was even more serious than usual."Things are different now. Corinne will go into labor very soon, so we need to be extra careful. You, especially, need to help me take care of her since she's staying at your place," said Xante sternly.Sunny understood where she was coming from. He was also happy that Xante was willing to rely on him, so he said, "You got it, Xante! Don't worry. I'll take care of Corinne as soon as we've finished having lunch together.""Good. And oh, keep her away from outside news if possible," said Xante meaningfully.This, however, baffled Sunny. "How can I pull that off? It's not like I can take away her phone and the television."Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. "You don't have to take away her phone or TV; just make sure no one tells her anything they shouldn't. You too. Don't tell her anything if you hear any shocking news. Understood?"Sunny could not but feel something was different about Xante. "Xante, just what the heck is going on?""

At that moment, Aaron was not his usual cheeky self. Instead, he said seriously, "Yes, Marcus might not be an outsider to you, but he's an outsider to the Holdens. How could you tell Marcus what happened when the Holdens are trying their best to bury the news? Do you know just how severe the consequences would be if Marcus accidentally leaked the news?"Annie was stunned. It finally dawned on her what she had done wrong. She quickly picked up her phone, and said, "I'll text Marcus now to tell him not to tell anybody about Uncle Jeremy."Aaron sighed helplessly as he watched her type on her phone. "The police are doing a DNA test on the dead body they found yesterday. It's going to take some time since they want to cover all of their bases. We'll just have to sit tight and wait. There might be a chance that the dead body doesn't belong to Mister Jeremy."Annie hoped that was the case, too. However, she knew the chances were slim since the police found Jeremy's ID card on the burnt bo

Benson looked at Sunny, and then at Corinne to check her reaction. He was worried that Sophia was Corinne's friend and that he would offend her if he did not let her in.Even though Lucas did not explain who Corinne was, all the servants could guess who she really was. Thus, they could not afford to cross her.However, Corinne did not look like she was interested in Sophia's arrival at all. Instead, she continued to eat her lunch nonchalantly.'Seems like the guest isn't welcome here at all. That means it's safe to ask her to leave,' thought Benson."Yes, Mister Sunny. I'll do that right away," he said before turning to leave.A few minutes later, he came back and reported, "Miss Corinne, Mister Sunny. I've already relayed your message to Miss Sophia, but she insisted she won't leave until she gets to meet Miss Corinne. She even said she has something very important to tell her."Corinne looked up and was about to say something when Sunny stood up impatiently. "Something very imp

Sunny rubbed his head to ease the pain. "So are you going to tell me what happened to Jeremy?"Lucas' expression became serious. "Don't ever bring up what Sophia said or anything about Jeremy once you go inside."The more Lucas tried to evade answering his question, the more Sunny thought he was trying to hide something from him.'It looks like Lucas and Xante are both trying to hide something from Corinne, and it looks to be the same topic,' thought Sunny.Corinne had finished her lunch and was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through her phone with a bored expression when the two brothers came in."Hey, Corinne," called Lucas gently.Corinne turned to look at him with surprise. "Why are you back so early, Mister Lucas?"Lucas sat next to her. "Work isn't that busy, so I thought I'd come home to spend time with you," he said with a smile."Thanks, but I don't mind being alone."Lucas was so used to getting the cold shoulder from Corinne that he did not even feel hurt anymore.
