The Day I Kissed An Older Man -
Chapter 1613
Xante walked to the foyer to get the car keys.
Sunny followed her immediately. "Wait, Xante, I'm coming with you!"
Xante ignored him, but she did not stop him from following her either.
Watching the two of them go out, Aaron put his arm on Corinne's shoulder and asked, "Boss, do you think Xante and Mister Sunny will get married after me and Annie?"
Corinne narrowed her eyes. 'Maybe. Sunny is serious about Xante, but whether she's willing to marry him... Well, that's another story.'
She was about to call Francine and tell her that Xante and Sunny were on their way to pick up the kids so she could get them ready. However, she received a call from Lucas before she could do that. "Corinne, where are you?" he asked.
Corinne thought about who Lucas went abroad to meet, and her heart suddenly tightened. "Mister Lucas, are you back in town? Have you met the art teacher?"
"Yeah. Where are you? I'll go find you. It's best if you talk in person."
Corinne felt conflicted. After telling Lucas her location, she started zoning out. She wanted to know the answer, but she was afraid that the answer would not be what she expected.
Aaron and Annie exchanged glances with each other. Both of them felt that Corinne spaced out after taking the call.
"Boss, was that Mister Lucas just now?" asked Aaron cautiously.
Corinne snapped out of her trance and nodded.
"What did he say to make you so distracted?" asked Annie.
Corinne waved her hand. "It's nothing. Let me know when he gets here. I'm going to lie down in my room for a while."
After saying that, she went into her old room and closed the door.
Aaron and Annie looked at each other.
"What do you think happened to her?"
Aaron patted Annie's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure she's fine. She probably just got up too early this morning and feels a little sleepy now." Annie tilted her head and thought, 'That's it? She's just sleepy? Why does it feel like she's got a lot on her mind after answering the phone?'
Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.
Aaron opened the door, and Lucas-who looked tired from all the traveling-stood at the door. "Where's Corinne?"
Aaron stepped back, giving him room to come in. "She's resting in her room. Please come in while I call her for you."
Lucas nodded and walked in. When he saw Annie there, he nodded slightly to her as a greeting before following Aaron to Corinne's room. Aaron knocked on Corinne's door. "Boss, Mister Lucas is here."
The door opened after a few seconds. Corinne stood there calmly and said to Lucas, "Please, come in, Mister Lucas."
Lucas looked at her and walked in. Corinne immediately closed the door.
Aaron stood at the door with a complicated expression. 'What could they possibly be talking about that they can't say in front of me?'
Annie walked over and looked at the closed door. She shook her head and sighed. "If Uncle Jeremy were still here, he'd be seething with jealousy! He gets so easily jealous that he wouldn't even let Corinne walk too close to another man. Oh, if only he was here!"
