The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 644
Lucas turned toward her. “Go on. Spit it out.”
Corinne got up and looked at him with resolve in her eyes. “Mister Lucas, I think there’s something wrong with the way you’re
disciplining Mister Sunny.”
Lucas smiled. “Miss Corinne, I didn’t expect to run into you again so soon. Why, it was just moments ago we ran into each other
at the hotel. I haven’t even asked you what you’re doing here and yet you dared to question the way I discipline my brother? In
any case, who made you the queen of discipline?”
The contempt in Lucas’s voice was obvious but Corinne was unfazed by it. She continued to look at him indifferently and said, “I
might not know everything there is to know about disciplining a child but I do have first-hand experience of what it feels like to
grow up in a house that gives out bad disciplinary actions so I thought I should warn you to stop doing what you’re doing or else
you’ll come to regret it in the end.”
Lucas pulled out a chair, sat down on it, rested his elbow on the support, and placed a side of his face on his hand. “Then what
do you suggest I do instead? Tell me, I’m all ears.”
Corinne raised her eyebrows and glanced at Sunny, who was acting like a mouse who saw a cat, before casting her calm and
sharp eyes back at Lucas.
“Mister Lucas, I know you’re doing this in the hopes that Sunny would turn out to be a decent human being but don’t you think
attacking his self-esteem is not the way to go about it? He’ll only learn to doubt. or even hate himself whenever he runs into a
problem in the future.”
Sunny was stunned. He looked up at Corinne with surprise. He never imagined Corinne would understand. what he was feeling
and stood up to his brother for him.
Lucas narrowed his eyes. “Continue.”
“Mister Sunny got hurt because he wanted to save a woman from an asthma attack. In any case, you should have praised him
for helping others and then gently let him know that it’s important to take note of his surroundings before helping others. What
you shouldn’t have done was indiscriminately deny everything he did as you did just now.”

Lucas quirked up his brow. “If a person wants to be praised by others, he must first ensure no one can find faults with what he
has done. What he shouldn’t expect is for others to hold a lenient attitude toward him.”
Corinne did not dare to straight up tell Lucas how harsh he was being so she said, “No one is perfect. Mister Lucas, you
shouldn’t put pressure on Mister Sunny to be perfect. You can certainly hold yourself up to that standard but you have no right to
ask others, not even your brother, to uphold the same standard as you!
“Each of us comes to this world with our unique personality. Mister Sunny having a bad personality or -being poor in studies
doesn’t mean that he wouldn’t be able to go on to live a great life. He’s very talented in e-Sports and he can make a name for
himself by using that talent. Wouldn’t it be good for him to let him do what he likes while he’s still young?
“No one has the right to define what success looks like for other people. You don’t have to be successful to be happy. Some
people are living happily as we speak, even though they don’t have the usual markers of success. As his elder, don’t you want
your brother to live a happy life?”
Sunny listened dazedly to all that Corinne had to say, causing his gloomy eyes to gradually light up. He looked at her in both
disbelief and gratitude. ‘She has said everything I wanted to say to my brother! It’s as if she could see into the very core of my
being!”
Lucas, however, remained unmoved by the barrage of self-reflective questions. He simply narrowed his eyes at her monologue.
No one could tell whether he heard what Corinne said.
