The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 1497
Corinne chuckled. “So, what brings you here so early in the morning?”
Sunny shrugged. “ Nothing much! Didn't we decide that I could come visit you at
the Holdens’ today? My jet lag hasn't worn off yet, and I couldn't sleep at all last
night. I'm feeling a little tired if I'm honest, but it's going to feel like hell if I get
some sleep. I thought I might as well come here a little earlier to see you. Then
we could pick up the children together after you're done with work. It's been ages
since I last saw my nephews and niece!”
Corinne glanced at him and asked, “How are you so free? Doesn't Lucas plan to
have you work at the company?”
Sunny frowned and replied, “He wants to arrange something for me at the
company, but I need a little time to adapt and rest after returning to the country!”
Corinne concurred, so she sat and picked up the full cup of coffee. She took a sip
and asked inquisitively, “Speaking of which, I've been meaning to ask you what
happened yesterday. Why were you with Xante?”
Sunny had a flash of mixed emotions when Xante’s name was mentioned. He
leaned back casually on the sofa. “I didn’t look for her. I happened to run into her
at a business event yesterday, so we caught up with each other and talked about
old times.”
“Old times’, huh?” Corinne narrowed her eyes. “Is it what I think it is?”
Sunny would have blushed in the past, but he was no longer the same man he
was three years ago. In apparent indifference, he answered, “Is it wrong for
adults to reminisce about old times? You shouldn't try to tell me or Xante what to
do. We're all adults now. We can take responsibility for our actions.”
Corinne observed Sunny and sensed he had changed quite a bit from before.
She sipped her coffee and mused, “Don’t you think you should take your
relationships more seriously?”
Sunny quipped, “Will being serious lead to a better outcome? You were serious
about Jeremy, but you still ended up raising the kids on your own.”
Corinne’s hand that held the coffee cup froze, and her expression darkened.
Sunny immediately realized he had misspoken and immediately sat up to correct
himself. “Wait, Corinne! I wasn’t implying that Jeremy left you and ran away!”
Corinne remained silent.
Sunny felt that his explanation was only making things worse. He scratched his
head and said, “Ugh, I guess I should stop talking now.”
Corinne snapped back to her senses and sported a smile. “You're right, though!
Maybe I missed a lot of opportunities to spend time with him because I was too
serious. I had been focused solely on the result. We should live in the present
and be content with what we have at the moment. This is something I ought to
learn from you.”
Sunny felt uneasy, believing that Corinne was forcing a smile. However, he did
not notice anything that gave it away.
“I swear I never meant to hurt your feelings, Corinne,” he insisted.

Corinne’s smile came from her heart,
and so did her remark. She did not
feel that Jeremy had abandoned her
or ran away from her, but she did
regret that her seriousness and
pettiness had led her to keep a
distance from him. Had she been
less focused on the result and more
on the moments she had with him,
she might have been able to make
more memories with him. 1 Visit

with Jeremy were scant whenever
she thought about him every night.

Perhaps her nights would be less lonely if she had more memories to reminisce
about.
Corinne snapped back to the present and added, “I have a meeting later. Go
pass the time at a nearby mall.”
