The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 730
Francine glared hatefully at Corinne. Then she turned to Anya and said, “Let’s go, Anya. We’ll deal with this crazy woman later.
It’s more important for you to change into something, clean right now. Follow me to my room.”
Anya nodded and followed Francine up the stairs. Midway through, she turned around to glare sinisterly at Corinne. Her
message was clear, there would be h’ll for Corinne later.
Corinne smiled back at her for two seconds before summoning, the maids to come clean up the
floor.
Bowen happened to see the tail end of what happened just now when he came out of the kitchen. He sighed helplessly, walked
up to Corinne, and asked concernedly, “Ma’am, why don’t I ask the kitchen to make you a sandwich? That should last you until
lunch.”
Corinne was indeed hungry. She nodded and said, “Okay. It doesn’t have to be anything complicated. Actually, an egg salad
sandwich would do.”
“As you wish, Ma’am.”
Bowen was about to go to the kitchen when a servant came running in. “Mister Bowen, Mister Lucas has dropped by to visit
Ma’am.”
“Are you talking about Mister Lucas from the Rivera family?” asked Bowen with shock.
“Yes, that’s exactly who I’m talking about,” said the servant with a nod.
Bowen found this odd since the two families rarely dropped by for a visit on account of the bad blood between them. Anya was
the exception of course since she was so smitten with Jeremy. Lucas dropping by was in itself already very odd but then to say
he had come to visit Corinne? “Ma’am, Mister Lucas has come by to visit you. Should I let him in?” asked Bowen worriedly. “Yes.
That would be perfectly alright,” Corinne said with a nod.
“Yes, Ma’am.” Bowen gestured for the servant to escort Lucas into the living room.
Not long after, Lucas was brought into the dining room. Corinne, who was seated at the dining table, smiled faintly at him. “Well,
it didn’t take you long to come here at all.”

Lucas came alone. He stood at the threshold with his back ram-rod straight. However, there was none of the usual confidence in
his eyes. In fact, those eyes of his seemed to be clouded by a multitude of emotions. “I happened to be around the neighborhood
when I called you.”
“Oh, I see.” Corinne nodded and smiled. “I hope you don’t mind if we talk in the dining room since the living room is being
cleaned up right now.”
Lucas looked deeply at her with eyes filled with guilt before nodding and saying, “Yes, that’s perfectly okay. I don’t mind talking
here.”
“Great! Please have a seat then, Mister Lucas.” Out of politeness, Corinne lazily gestured for Lucas to take a seat. “To be
honest, I thought you’re going to make a fuss about talking in a room filled with the smell of food.”
A servant immediately pulled out the chair opposite Corinne. Lucas said nothing as he slowly walked over and sat down. Before
the two of them could say anything, the maid brought out a plate of sandwich from the kitchen and placed it in front of Corinne.
