The Day I Kissed An Older Man

“Mister Lucas, you’re still awake?” asked Aaron with a smile.
Lucas looked up the stairs to make sure Corinne was out of earshot before turning his attention to Aaron. “Don’t tell Corinne
anything about Adam,” he warned sternly.
Aaron was a little taken aback. “Why not?”
“You don’t need to look into Adam to know what kind of person he is. How do you think Corinne would react if you told her about
all the horrible things he did before? She might not say it, but we all know she’s very worried about Jeremy. So, for her and the
baby’s sake, just keep your mouth shut about Adam. The less she knows, the better.”
Aaron smiled. “Oh wow, I didn’t know you cared about the boss so much. After all, it wasn’t that long when you repeatedly hurt
her because of Miss Anya. I find it hard to believe you’re the same person as you were back then.”
Lucas instantly felt guilty when Aaron brought up his past. He could, of course, tell he was mocking him. However, he did not get
angry as he felt like he deserved it. He would not even get angry at Aaron if he cussed him out for being a b*stard.
Corinne still had not forgiven him or accepted him as her brother.
“Rest assured, I know very well what I did before. That’s why I’m trying very hard to make it up to her. It’s late, so the two of you
should head back home. Just remember what I said—keep it to yourselves when you find out anything about Adam.”
Aaron nodded. “I hope you’ll be a better brother to her this time, Mister Lucas.”
He then waved goodbye and left with Xante.
Xante and Aaron had just stepped out of the door when Lucas heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming down the stairs.
Lucas did not need to look up to know it was Sunny who came down.
“There’s no point in coming down now that they’ve left,” he said.
Sunny rushed over to the floor-to-ceiling window. His face tensed up, and his hands balled into fists when he saw Xante leaving
as though he had made up his mind.
Lucas could not help but worry about his helpless little brother. “That’s enough. You should use this time to study if you have this
much time so you can get a good job. At least you’ll have something to offer the girl you like.”

Sunny was obviously hurt. After watching Xante get into her car, he turned and said firmly, “Lucas, I want to study abroad.”
Lucas was midway up the stairs when he heard Sunny. Surprised, he stopped in his tracks and turned. “What did you just say?”
Sunny looked up at him and said resolutely, “I said I want to study abroad. Didn’t you already choose a school for me? Well, I’m
willing to go now!”
Lucas was at his wits’ end when Sunny kept failing his college admission tests. He did not expect Sunny to get into a good
university solely with his efforts since Sunny was always a poor student.
Sunny had failed so many subjects in school that he could never compete with the other students at home. Thus, Lucas found
Sunny an elite boarding school abroad. He had hoped Sunny would be able to reform himself there.
However, Sunny was resistant to the idea of going to a boarding school to the extent of threatening to end his life. Left with no
choice, Lucas decided to put the plan on pause for the time being.
Thus, Lucas was understandably surprised that Sunny would volunteer to go himself.
“Are you sure you want to go?” Lucas asked again, just to be sure. “Because I’m not going to bring you back if you find it hard
there. You’re a grown-up now, so you must take responsibility for your decisions.”
Sunny stared at him resolutely. “Yes, I’ve thought it through, and I really want to go. I promise I’m not going to regret my
decision.”
