The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 645
Lucas stared fixedly at Corinne for a while before finally, politely but coldly, saying, “Miss Corinne, what you said only applies to
kids of regular folks and not for kids born into the Rivera family. Those that carry. the Rivera name, like Sunny himself, are tasked
with a great burden on their shoulder. Thus, he can’t just do whatever he wants. Do you understand now?”
What Corinne hated the most was the way Lucas thought he was better than everybody else just because he was lucky enough
to be born into a wealthy and prominent family. “We’re all humans on this earth. No one is better than anybody else! You say he’s
tasked with a great burden on his shoulder but have you ever asked if he wanted that?
No matter how self-righteous you made the whole thing sound, it still doesn’t make it right for you to impose your wishes on
another person! I used to think life would be better for me if I was born into a wealthy family. Then I could do whatever I wish to
do without ever having to worry about making ends meet. Well, you’ve certainly proved me wrong. I would rather live a life of
poverty if it meant I get to choose what I want to do with my life!”
Lucas’s eyes turned ice cold while his face flickered with displeasure. “Are you done talking? If you are, then I highly suggest you
leave this room this instant.”
Corinne was not done. She smirked and asked, “Mister Lucas if you think your disciplinary method is so great, why does it seem
you’re not happy with the way Sunny has turned out? Have you ever asked yourself that question?
“You should since you’re the one who single-handedly raised him to become who he is. When you berate him for how he turned
out, it’s equivalent to you berating yourself for failing to bring him up properly. Don’t you see just how fallible you are too? So how
can you ask Sunny to be perfect?”
Lucas frowned. She managed to hit a sore spot of his. His face darkened and his lips were drawn into a tight line.
“I can tell Sunny is afraid of you. While fear might make him do what you want him to do, it’ll never be able to extinguish the
dreams he holds dear in his heart. One day, when he’s all grown up, you’ll come to realize that he wants to have nothing to do
with you nor does he want to live the way you want him to live anymore. By then, it’ll be too late for you to see that the worst way
to discipline someone is to mentally beat them into submission.”
Lucas glared coldly at her. After a long while of silence, he suddenly smiled in a way that did not reach. his eyes. “Well said. I’ve
certainly learned something new today. However, might I remind you to mind your own business? An outsider like you shouldn’t
butt your nose in my family’s business.”

Corinne shrugged. “You’re right. It is none of my business but I’ve already said what I said and since you’re here now, I can leave
Mister Sunny to you. There’s an urgent matter I need to attend to so forgive me for making a move first.”
-She did not wait for either Lucas or Sunny to say anything and simply turned to leave the room. However, after taking a few
steps, she stopped and turned around. “By the way, Mister Lucas. Please remember to compensate the hospital for the glass
door Mister Sunny broke today.”
Both Lucas and Sunny were speechless. Under their watchful gaze, Corinne turned back around, pushed open the door, and
walked out of the ward at a leisurely pace. Sunny watched as the door closed with a click; the shock in his heart lingered on.
Everything Corinne said shook him to the very core. ‘Bravo Corinne! Has she always had this side to her? Ugh, I shouldn’t have
bullled her because of Anya.’
“How did you end up with her in the hospital? Didn’t I say to stay away from her?” Lucas questioned him sternly, effectively
pulling him away from his thoughts of gratitude toward Corinne.
