The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 808
Anya’s scream pulled Lucas out of his thoughts. He immediately looked around and saw the door to Luna’s childhood room,
which was off-limits to everyone, was open. From outside the door, they could see Corinne squatting on the floor, holding the
music box in her hands dazedly as though thinking of something.
She slowly turned to look at Lucas and Anya when she heard Anya talking to her.
Immediately after, Anya screamed again, “My goodness, Corinne! Why did you break my sister’s music box? That was her
favorite!”
Corinne was unsurprised by Anya’s false accusation at all. She simply stood up and calmly said, “I wasn’t the one who broke it.”
Anya pretended to look shocked. She then snatched the broken music box from Corinne’s hand to take a closer look, even
though she was the one who broke it in the first place. “Oh no ... It’s really broken. What should we do?”
After saying that, she turned to Lucas and said woefully, “I’m so sorry, Lucas. This is all my fault. I shouldn’t have gone down to
get some drinks for Corinne. I didn’t expect she would come into Luna’s room and break her favorite music box. If you want to
blame someone, blame me instead!”
Anya knew Lucas hated nothing more than for other people to barge into Luna’s room without his permission nor would he
forgive the person should they destroy anything inside. Previously, a servant was cleaning the room when her shoe accidentally
hooked on the curtain, causing the lace to become unraveled. Lucas was furious after finding out about it, and he punished the
servant severely.
Therefore, there was no need for the room to be locked since no one would ever dare go into it. Everything in the room remained
as it was before Luna disappeared. In fact, the room had become an eyesore for Anya for the longest time, but she dared not do
anything about it since she was afraid of angering Lucas.
That was why she used Corinne as the scapegoat to wreak havoc in the room. Savior or not, Lucas would surely make Corinne
pay for ‘breaking’ Luna’s favorite music box. “This might not get rid of her once and for all, but it’ll make me happy to see her
suffer a bit,’ thought Anya.
Lucas walked toward Anya and took the broken music box from her hand to take a look. He then glanced at the broken glass
bears on the ground before sighing. “It’s okay. I’ll get someone to fix it.”

Startled, Anya gaped at him incredulously. “Wha...?”
‘What’s going on? Why isn’t Lucas angry at Corinne for breaking Luna’s favorite music box?’ wondered Anya.
“Anya, you can go back to taking care of Joey, I’ll take over showing Corinne around now,” said Lucas emotionlessly.
Anya was not only confused, but she was also angry at things not turning out her way. ‘What on earth is going on? Why isn’t
Lucas angry? Why didn’t he punish Corinne?!!
She refused to leave.
“Lucas, Joey has the nanny taking care of him. I want to stay here with you and Corinne.”
