The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 1488
Sunny certainly improved a lot over the last three years. After interning at the company’s overseas branch, he became more than
capable of handling all sorts of matters both in life and at work!
Lucas was naturally gratified to witness Sunny’s transformation. He no longer had to worry about his younger brother being a
good-for-nothing. Tomorrow, he would arrange for Sunny to work in Rivera Group so he could learn more about running a
company.
Meanwhile, back in the Riveras’ mansion.
It was the first time in three years that Sunny had gone home.
‘Ahh, it’s so nice to be home!’ thought Sunny as he lazed on the sofa with both his hands behind his head.
“What did Lucas say? Is he coming back?” he asked when he saw Maxwell hanging up his phone from the corner of his eyes.
“He said he’s busy and will come home to see you tomorrow,” replied Maxwell as he put his phone on the coffee table.
Sunny was surprised at the answer at all. He scoffed and said, “I knew he’d never put me over his work.”
Despite his words, Sunny was not at all angry at Lucas. He had not seen Maxwell, Beatrice, or Cedric in the three years he had
been abroad. With Lucas, it was different.
Lucas would visit Sunny at his school every month with gifts and, of course, lectures. Nonetheless, Sunny knew his older brother
only meant well.
While Sunny was scared of Lucas, that did not stop the two brothers from enjoying a good relationship. Of course, the
generational gap did make it difficult for them to understand each other sometimes.
After Sunny had dinner with his family, he picked up the car keys and told them he would be going out to meet up with some old
friends.
Since he had matured over the years, his father and grandparents allowed him to go whenever and wherever he wanted, which
was not the case previously.
Meanwhile, the elites of the society had gathered at a business gala in the city.

Xante was sitting in the VIP section and swirling her wine glass disinterestedly as she asked Aaron, “So how’s the investigation
on Sophia’s husband going?”
Aaron crossed his legs and frowned. “It’s not going that great. Seems like Sophia has taken great lengths to keep her husband’s
identity hidden. We only know her husband is a wheelchair-bound cripple, and there’s no photo of him anywhere at all.”
‘Wheelchair? Cripple?’ Xante narrowed her eyes. She remembered that the last image taken at the airport before Jeremy
disappeared was of him sitting in a wheelchair. ‘Could it be that Sophia’s husband is really...’
She was thinking about that when Aaron suddenly nudged her with his elbow, causing her to nearly spill her wine.
Xante snapped back to the present and glared at Aaron. “What was that for?”
Aaron was looking elsewhere. He gestured with his chin in that particular direction and said, “Look over there, Xante. Your old
sweetheart is back.”
Xante thought he was hallucinating, but she still looked in that direction with annoyance. Her eyes immediately widened when
she saw Sunny.
Sunny was talking and clinking glasses with a group of business leaders. His entire being exuded a sort of maturity and
confidence he did not use to have three years ago.
Also, his body had filled out. Gone was the lanky frame, and in its place was the broad shoulder and toned abs that would make
any woman go crazy for him. He looked healthy, energetic, and hot!
He must have sensed someone was staring at him because he suddenly turned toward Xante. Their eyes met. He smiled and
raised his glass toward her as a form of greeting before going back to his conversation with the business leaders.
“Tsk. Your former lover boy sure has grown up,” praised Aaron.
