The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Lucas said, “I’m here to look for Corinne. Is she in?”
This startled Annie a little. “Corinne? Do you know her? Why are you looking for her?”
Before Lucas could answer, Corinne appeared from behind Annie. She looked at him indifferently and said, “You were looking for
me?”
Annie instinctively backed away when Corinne came to the door.
Corinne had been missing for half a year, and Lucas’s pupils contracted as soon as he laid eyes on her. His initial tenseness
immediately dissipated due to relief, and his eyes reddened. “Where have you been for the past six months?”
Corinne frowned. “Everyone’s been asking me that question today. I don’t need to report my whereabouts to anyone, and it
doesn’t matter where I go as long as I come back in one piece.”
The high and mighty Lucas was peeved by Corinne’s disrespectful tone, but he did not get angry at her. He nodded in relief and
said, “Well, it’s good that you’re back. I’m glad to see that you’re safe.”
Corinne had nothing else to say to him, so she turned and went back in.
Lucas followed her in, and she spotted the people sitting at the dining table. He greeted Xante and Aaron with a nod, and that
was when he noticed that the seat next to Xante was empty.
Since there was a used set of plates and cutlery at the empty seat, Lucas narrowed his eyes and instantly knew who had been
sitting there. It was none other than his insolent younger half-brother.
When Sunny heard that Lucas had arrived, he was so frightened that he hid under the table. However, Lucas did not show up to
bring Sunny home, nor did he have any time to talk to him.
He went straight to the room that Corinne entered and knocked on the door before walking in.
After Annie closed the door, she returned to the dining table with a puzzled look on her face. “What’s going on? Why does Lucas
want to speak to Corinne? What’s the deal between them?”
Xante and Aaron exchanged glances but did not answer. They had no right to explain Corinne’s situation to them.
Aaron pulled Annie to sit down. “Don’t worry about it. Let’s continue eating, shall we?”

Annie sat down in a daze and realized that someone was missing from the dining table. “Where’s Sunny?”
Aaron smiled and hinted at her to look under the table.
Annie’s mind went blank for a moment, and she immediately looked under the table.
Sunny was hiding under it like a coward!
Annie burst out laughing. “Hahaha! You’re such a coward! This is your elder brother we’re talking about, not some assassin!”
As humiliated as Sunny was at that moment, he did not dare to get out from under the table. He glared at Annie angrily and said,
“I wouldn’t even be hiding under here if an assassin came! Please keep your voice down! Don’t let Lucas know I’m here!”
Meanwhile, inside the room...
