The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 895
Anya would never be kind to Corinne, especially not after what happened.
Corinne stared at the road ahead and replied calmly, “I’m not going that way, though.”
Anya smiled enthusiastically and said, “I can always make a detour for you! We’re on good terms with each other now, right?
It’s not a big deal for me to send you there!”
“You don’t need to trouble yourself.”
’You’re not afraid of me, are you?’
Corinne chuckled. “Why should I be afraid of you?”
Anya continued to smile innocently. “Maybe you’re worried that I’ll retaliate against you for what you did? Relax, Corinne!
Even if I wanted to retaliate, I wouldn’t have chosen to do it at this time. Besides, I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you in
my car! I’d be giving myself away then! I’m not that stupid. I don’t do things that work against my favor!”
Corinne glanced at her. “What do you want, then?”
Anya then pleaded, “I just want to have a nice conversation with you. Is that too much to ask?”
Although Corinne knew that Anya’s offer was not sincere, she decided to get into the car anyway. It would be difficult for
Corinne to get a taxi if Anya kept following her.
Corinne yawned tiredly after getting into the car. “Could you send me back to the Holdens’ estate, please?”
Anya then answered a little awkwardly, “I’m going to deliver lunch to Lucas right now, though. Can I send you back
afterward?”
Corinne frowned slightly. She already guessed that Anya was not heading the same way as her. “Okay.”
Anya patted the lunch box in her hand and smiled sweetly. “My brother loves the food from this restaurant. He finishes them
all the time.”
Corinne did not even bother to look up and replied drily, “Is that so?”
She knew that Anya had nothing better to talk about.
Anya’s smile faded when she saw Corinne’s nonchalant expression. She had a slightly disgusted look on her face, but that
soon turned into a smile. “I’ve already accepted that Jeremy isn’t going to be with me anymore, but I want to know how you
managed to change Lucas’ view of me.”
Corinne shrugged. “I’m a bit confused by your question, Miss Anya. Has his view of you changed? It doesn’t look like that to
me.”

Anya frowned and tried to keep smiling. “Don’t try to act confused. Lucas hated you in the beginning, but it’s pretty obvious
that his attitude toward you has changed.”
Corinne answered, “Your brother never really liked me, but he doesn’t really hate me either. Isn’t it because of your scheming
that he had such a bad impression of me? Now that everything’s been resolved, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he’d
treat me slightly better. After all, he already knows that it was all a misunderstanding!”
Anya could not contain her emotions and let out a sneer. “Slightly better? It’s more than just ‘slightly’, okay? He’s being overly
nice to you! It’s just plain weird! What’s your deal with him, anyway?”
Anya’s probing questions made Corinne raise her guard. Anya and her mother, Phoebe, have been sending people to
investigate her origins in the countryside. Though Corinne had tasked Aaron with sending people over to deal with them,
there was still every possibility that Anya’s people might dig up some clues.
For the time being, at least, Corinne must ensure that neither Anya nor Pheobe were able to discover her blood relationship
with the Riveras. After all, her investigation into what happened to her mother would go south if those two ever found out.
After a few seconds of silence, Corinne glanced up and chuckled. “Are you jealous, then? Is it so unbearable to see your
beloved brother show the occasional kindness to another girl?”
Anya was triggered by that remark. She gritted her teeth subtly and smiled even more. “Why would I be jealous? Lucas has
lots of female friends. I have no reason to be jealous of them! In Lucas’ eyes, those women can never compare to me. I’m
just weirded out because girls like you were never his type!”
Corinne smiled in response. “Then why don’t you ask your brother why his attitude toward me has changed so drastically?
I’m sure he’ll tell you since he loves you so much!”
