Sunny was a man, so he did not have anything to be embarrassed about. It was Corinne that he was worried about, but it became apparent that his concerns were unnecessary because she did not seem to show any fear of embarrassment. He decided to follow Corinne and accompany her to the room next door. With Corinne around, he did not need to fear the possibility that Lucas might give him a good beating for confronting them.
As they reached the door of the adjacent suite, they tried to eavesdrop on the situation within but could not sense anything odd. Corinne then raised her hand to knock on the door.
Meanwhile, Edmund was closely monitoring the situation from the opposite suite when he saw Corinne and Sunny approaching the door. Their sudden presence startled him, and he needed to act swiftly as there was no time to seek further instruction from Lucas. As if by instinct, he opened the door and dragged the two persons in before closing the door shut.
Corinne was caught off-guard when someone pulled her, and she was prepared to defend herself when she saw that it was Edmund. Her alertness turned to that of confusion, with Sunny being just as perplexed as she was.
"Edmund?" Sunny asked. "Why are you here?"
Edmund felt a headache coming and immediately responded, "I should be asking you that. And why did you bring Miss Corinne with you?"
Sunny said with a frown, "I saw Lucas coming to this hotel, so I tailed him to find out what he was up to. Please be honest with me, Edmund. Is he having an affair with Sophia? Is that why he asked you to keep watch here?"
Edmund's lips twitched slightly as he struggled to understand Sunny's suspicions.
As Sunny looked eagerly at Edmund for an answer, Lucas' calm, aloof voice resounded through the room. "Do you suspect me of having an affair with Sophia?"
Sunny was startled and felt a chill down his spine. He turned to see that Lucas was sitting leisurely on the sofa with a cup of coffee.
'Wait a sec! Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in the opposite suite?' Sunny wondered.
Lucas' expression softened involuntarily as he glanced at her. "Come sit with me, Corinne."
Corinne went over and took a seat.
Edmund caught sight of Lucas' glance and immediately understood what Lucas was asking of him. He headed to the pantry and fetched a bottle of juice and a can of Coke, which he gave Corinne and Sunny respectively.
Corinne graciously took the juice bottle, but she was in no mood for a drink. She looked inquisitively at Lucas and asked, "Did Sophia try to give you a hard time because of that piece of land?"
Lucas smiled and shook his head. "It's not that. The issue with that land has been resolved. The auction house has finally agreed to sell it to us at the initial price before Sophia raised it."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
