The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 811
Lucas nearly called Corinne ‘Luna’ again but quickly stopped since he did not want to anger Corinne any further. “Ahem! I’ll get
you when it’s dinner time, Corinne.”
Corinne decided to take him up on his offer. “Very well, then. Thank you. Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to rest. Can you
please go out?”
Lucas stared at her before he turned and walked out of the door, closing the door with the broken music box still in his hand. As
soon as he was outside, he instantly noticed Anya acting suspiciously not far off.
Frowning, he walked over and asked, “Why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be taking care of Joey?”
Anya started to panic when she saw Lucas walking over to her. Unable to hide, she had no choice but to explain, “Lucas, I was
worried you’d blow up at Corinne for breaking the music box, so I decided to stay and-
Lucas’ face darkened. “I won’t blow up at her, so stop worrying about other people and go look after Joey!”
Anya frowned. “Why did you come out alone? Where’s Corinne?”
“She’s tired, so she’s resting inside the room for a while. Don’t you dare bother her, okay?”
Anya’s eyes widened in shock, and she could not keep the emotion out of her voice. “You’re letting her rest in Luna’s room? I
thought you hated nothing more than for other people to touch her stuff!”
Lucas frowned, and after two seconds of silence, he said, “She’s Grandpa’s savior, so she deserves to get the best hospitality
from us. She has the right to rest in any of the rooms.”
Lucas’ explanation did not seem to convince Anya. “There’s something off about the two of them...’ she thought.
Not bothering to explain more to Anya, Lucas then took out his phone and called Edmund.” Edmund, I’m on the second floor.
Come up now.”
After a minute of hanging up the phone, Edmund arrived.
“Edmund, keep watch over this room; Miss Corinne is resting inside. Don’t let anyone bother her, okay?” ordered Lucas sternly.

“Yes, Mister Lucas!”
Lucas then handed him the broken music box. “Get someone to fix this, and ask the servants to clean up the broken glasses in
the room. Make sure they sweep up every last piece so our guest won’t get cut by them.”
Edmund accepted the music box and nodded. “Yes, I understand, Mister Lucas.”
After that, Lucas went back to his room with a frown. He was not in a good mood and needed some time alone.
Anya stayed rooted in shock as she watched Lucas leave dubiously. ‘What the heck is going on? What could’ve happened for
Lucas to have such a drastic change in attitude toward Corinne in
just a few days?’
After thinking about it, Anya decided to interrogate Corinne. However, Edmund stopped her.
“Miss Anya, Miss Corinne is resting inside, so you’re not allowed to go in.”
Anya pulled out her signature move. “Edmund, I just wanted to make sure she’s alright. I promise I won’t bother her...” she said
in a soft, cutesy manner.
“You’ve heard what Mister Lucas said just now, so please don’t make my job any harder than it already is,” said Edmund
objectively.
