The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 866
“Corinne!”
Corinne heard someone shout out her name just when she was about to get into the car. With one foot inside, she turned to look
around and saw Lucas striding toward her.
“Corinne, a moment of your time, please? There’s something I’d like to tell you in private,” said Lucas softly.
Corinne raised her brow a little. After considering it, she turned to Jeremy and said, “Mister, can you go buy me a bottle of yogurt
drink at that convenience shop over there? I suddenly have a craving for it.”
Jeremy knew Corinne was trying to steer him away. He would not have allowed her to speak privately to a man if this had
happened in the past, but it was different since he knew Lucas. was her brother.
They were long-lost siblings, and since Corinne was willing to speak to Lucas, Jeremy felt like it was not in his place to prevent
her from doing so. Thus, he gently ruffled Corinne’s hair and said, “Alright, then.”
He thus walked slowly to the convenience store in front of them.
Lucas made sure Jeremy was well out of earshot before turning to look at Corinne. “Let’s go talk at that park over there. I’m
worried the fumes in the parking lot will make you uncomfortable.”
Corinne nodded. She might as well do as he suggested since she agreed to hear what he had to
say.
The two of them came to the park in front of the hospital. Lucas found a place to sit, but he then took off his jacket and laid it on
the bench. “Here, Corinne. You can sit here.”
Corinne plopped down unceremoniously on the bench whereas Lucas pulled up his pants a little before sitting down gracefully
next to her.
“Well, why don’t you get on with it, Mister Lucas? I’m in quite a rush to get home.”
Lucas looked at her helplessly when he heard her address him as ‘Mister Lucas’.

“I’m sorry... It’s my every intention to make sure you have a good time at our house today, but not only did we cause trouble for
you again, but you also nearly lost your baby...”
Corinne chuckled softly. “Oh, sorry ain’t going to cut it this time. Plus, this isn’t the only time your family has caused me trouble.”

Lucas frowned and looked apologetically at her. “Do you really have no plans to go home?”
“Of course I do!” replied Corinne without missing a beat.
Lucas’ eyes immediately lit up. ‘She’s willing to go home?’
“I’m going home with Jeremy later,” added Corinne.
Lucas was dumbfounded by her response, and he smiled wryly. “So the Holdens’ place is where
you call home?”
Corinne shook her head. “Nope. The Holdens’ place is just like any mansion in the city. Meaning to say, there’s nothing special
about it. My home is wherever Jeremy is.”
Lucas was filled with conflicted feelings. As her brother, he had lost the chance to vouch for the man Corinne had married.
“I’m glad Jeremy makes you happy. But if he ever cheats on you, you can come to me, and I’ll teach him a lesson!”
Corinne scoffed. “I don’t need you to teach him a lesson ’cause I’ll just break up with him if he dares to cheat on me. I’d rather go
without a man in my life than to desperately hang on to at cheating dirtbag!”
