The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Annie excitedly said, “Uncle Jeremy must’ve come all the way here to see you, but he’s too embarrassed to come up here. Older
men and their fragile masculinity, am I right? Let me call him up!”
After staring at Jeremy for a few seconds, Corinne reached out to close the curtains. “He’s not welcome here.” Out of sight, out
of mind.
Corinne’s indifference made the excitement on Annie’s face disappear. She pouted helplessly and secretly opened the curtains
to take a peek. Jeremy and the car were both gone. ‘Why did he have to leave so quickly? Can’t you stand there a while longer
just to show your sincerity?’
Corinne did not feel like lying down again after being pulled out of bed. “Didn’t you say you wanted to eat? Let’s go and eat,
then.”
Annie nodded and forced a smile. “Yeah! Let’s eat.”
Corinne came out of the room and went to the dining room where she took her seat at the main seat of the table.
Annie no longer felt that awkward when she sat next to Aaron.
After everyone sat, they chatted for a moment and started to dig into the food. Annie managed to produce some delicious food
with her excellent cooking skills. She became a little embarrassed when everyone praised her for it.
While Sunny was eating, his intrusive thoughts got the better of him and he asked, “Hey, Corinne, will you acknowledge Xante as
your godmother once your baby is born?”
Xante placed some food on his plate and hinted to him to shut up.
Sunny was oblivious to the fact that he had asked an inappropriate question, and he insisted on getting an answer from Corinne.
Corinne glanced at him and said, “What are you trying to say?”
With a hearty smile, Sunny said, “If Xante becomes your baby’s godmother, then technically, I’m the baby’s godfather too! That
means I’ll have a godchild! I never thought I’d ever get a godchild at eighteen years old! Hahaha!”
Everyone was speechless.

Annie rolled her eyes and was unable to wrap her head around how a mature, independent woman like Xante would fall in love
with a bumbling idiot like Sunny.
The atmosphere turned awkward after Sunny’s remark, but fortunately for everyone, the doorbell rang.
Annie stood up and said, “It must be Uncle Jeremy! He probably can’t hold himself from wanting to meet Corinne! I’ll open the
door!” She immediately ran over excitedly to open the door.
Everyone at the table looked at Corinne to see her reaction. Corinne merely staggered slightly while she was taking some more
food, and there did not seem to be any special reaction.
As soon as Annie opened the door, her smile gradually disappeared. Her eyes were filled with disappointment.
The person who came was not Jeremy but Lucas instead.
He seemed surprised that the person who opened the door was Annie. He even looked up at the unit number above the door
and thought he had come to the wrong place.
Annie asked, “Why are you here? Are you here to pick up Sunny?”
Lucas frowned slightly. “He’s here?”
“Yeah, he is eating inside!” Annie nodded. She then yelled, “Sunny! Your brother is here to pick you up!”
Lucas massaged his temples and said, “I’m not here to pick him up.”
Annie was puzzled. “You’re not? Then why are you here?”
