The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 737
Lucas narrowed his eyes, walked up to the car, and got into it.
Anya and Francine were sitting in the backseat talking about something but they immediately stopped when Lucas got into the
car.
Anya, who was now sandwiched between Lucas and Francine, turned to him and said, “Oh, Lucas, you’re back!”
Lucas was exhausted by then. He leaned back on the seat and rubbed the space between his brows. “Didn’t I ask you to go
home first?”
Anya pouted sadly and tried to explain, “You’ll be without a car if I go home first so I ask Edmund to wait for you...”
To this, Lucas simply made a noncommittal sound before closing his eyes and falling silent.
Francine, who could not contain her curiosity anymore, poked her head out to ask, “Lucas, how did the conversation with
Corinne go? Did you manage to convince her to leave my brother?”
Lucas frowned and opened his eyes to take a glance at her. “You sound like you really want her to leave your brother.”
Francine nodded. “Yeah! Don’t you want that too? I mean, the only way Anya can be with my brother is if Corinne breaks up with
him! Lucas, I know you would do anything for Anya so you must get rid of any obstacles that stand in the way of Anya’s
happiness.”
Lucas threw a warning glance at her. “Miss Francine, why don’t you mind your own business? And from now on, I don’t ever
want to hear you speak ill of your sister–in–law again. Otherwise, I would be the one to punish you even on Jeremy’s behalf.”
Francine was dumbfounded. “Lucas...? What’s the matter with...”
Anya, too, was dumbfounded. ‘Did I hear wrongly? ‘Cause for a moment there I heard Lucas address Corinne as Francine’s
sister–in–law... What’s going on right now? Why does it seem like Lucas has completely gone over to Corinne’s side?‘
“Miss Francine, we don’t welcome members of the Holden family in our car so please get out of the car right now,” Lucas added
rudely.

Francine could feel the oppressive aura, that was no less than that of Jeremy’s, emitting from Lucas‘ body. Scared, she quickly
and awkwardly got out of the car, dashing her plans of hanging out with Anya at her place.
Edmund immediately drove off with Lucas and Anya in the car after Francine got off.
“Lucas, what did you talk to Corinne about?” Anya asked in a fake relaxed manner.
“That’s none of your business,” said Lucas coldly. He was not in the mood to talk to Anya.
Anya moved herself closer to Lucas and in her usual act–cute tone said, “I know it’s none of my business but please just tell
meeee... If not, I’ll certainly die with curiosity. I mean, the two of you weren’t on the best of terms in the past so why would you
specially drop by for a visit today?”
Instead of answering her question, Lucas looked at her coldly and asked, “Is Joey willing to let you carry him now?”
Anya’s face immediately tensed up. “Umm...”
“Why don’t you put your own affairs in order first before butting your nose into other people’s business!” lectured Lucas sternly.
Anya did not expect Lucas to treat her so sternly. Crestfallen, she said pitifully, “Lucas, I know I should put more attention into
taking care of Joey but I’m just feeling so depressed about the fact that Jeremy doesn’t want to be with me anymore...”
Lucas had heard enough by then so he interrupted her, “You can’t keep using Jeremy as an excuse for not getting your life
together! If he doesn’t want you, fine! Go find something else to do. A woman’s life shouldn’t revolve around a man, Anya!”
