The Day I Kissed An Older Man

“Don’t worry.I won’t ever bother you again," said Sunny with a hardened expression.
His fists were clenched tightly as though it took all of his willpower to make up his mind.
Xante’s expression remained the same when she heard that, but after a while, she smiled.
“I’m glad to hear that."
Then, without saying anything else, she got up and went back inside Corinne’s room.
Sunny unclenched his fists and hung his head low like a deflated balloon.
He completely lost his usual arrogance.
“What are you doing here?" asked Lucas sternly as he walked over to him.
Sunny looked up and answered listlessly, “I heard Corinne’s water broke when I got home, so I rushed over to see her."
Afraid that Sunny would only add to the chaos, Lucas frowned and said, “Go home if you’ve seen her.Get your stuff
ready.Edmund will be taking you abroad next week."
Sunny nodded.
He then looked at Corinne’s hospital room door with a complicated expression before getting up and walking away listlessly.
With Sunny gone, Lucas went into her room.
Corinne had drifted off to sleep again.
Xante took one look at Corinne, who was frowning in her sleep, to make sure she was sleeping before asking Lucas, “Any news
about Jeremy?"
Lucas shook his head glumly.
“Not at the moment."
Just where the hell did Mister Jeremy take the baby?’ thought Xante with a frown.
Lucas looked at Corinne with a pained expression.

“Did she ask about him?"
Xante sighed and nodded.
“She did.But she must’ve sensed something was off ’cause she didn’t try to get to the bottom of it."
Lucas’ face became another shade darker.
He really felt sorry for Corinne.
He was willing to let go of the grudge with the Holdens for her sake and allow her to marry Jeremy, but what happened made him
completely lose faith in Jeremy.
‘I’ll need to reconsider allowing Corinne to marry Jeremy after we’ve found him,’ he told himself.
‘She’ll never know a day of peace if she marries that unreliable b*stard.’ ... Three days passed, and Corinne recovered enough
to be able to get out of bed and walk around the room.
However, there was still no news from Jeremy.
She called and texted him, but he did not pick up his phone nor did he reply to her messages.
Lucas would always brush her off by saying Jeremy was safe, and that he was occupied with something very important in
Molomia, causing him to be delayed in coming back, whenever she asked about him.
She was not interested in knowing or understanding what could be so important in Molomia that he could not fly back to see her
and the babies.
The only thing she cared about was that he broke his promise again.
He promised her he would be back in three days.
He even showed her his return flight ticket.
It was all a lie.
The only time she would come alive was when she was with the babies.

As for the rest of the time, she would stare blankly outside the window, lost in thought.
Moreover, she became even more quiet than before.
That day, Lucas only stayed for a brief visit before going back to work.
