Corinne was relieved to hear the news.
"Then why did Sophia still ask you to meet her here?" she asked.
A hint of guilt flashed across Lucas' eyes.
How could he bear to tell her that the man she had been waiting for the past three years was in the suite opposite theirs and that he had forgotten about her? Not to mention, he was playing happy family with another woman and the baby he stole from her.
He could not. It would be too cruel.
"Oh, it's nothing. She didn't really ask me to meet her here. I just happened to find out she's staying in this hotel too. Out of curiosity, I wanted to find out who she came back with, so I made up some excuse to meet her," lied Lucas.
Corinne's eyes turned sharp. "Then did you see if there's anyone else in her suite?" she asked curiously.
Lucas shook his head. "I only saw her with a kid wearing a cartoon mask. There was no one else."
In truth, Lucas did not see Sophia at all because he was already back in his own suite by the time she got back.
It was when Sunny was waiting for the lift, so he did not see Lucas coming out either.
Corinne frowned. She did not suspect anything was amiss, but she could not help but feel disappointed.
After that, she pointed to Sunny and said, "Mister Lucas, it was Sunny who kicked up a fuss. He said you might've gone astray and asked me to come and save you."
Sunny thought he was off the hook by then, so he tensed up again when Corinne threw him under the bus.
'Wha…? How could she do this to me? Just my rotten luck,' he thought.
The kids quite liked their Uncle Lucas, so she thought they would be happy to see him later. Also, she would not be able to finish her work even if she went back to the office then, so she might as well go earlier tomorrow to complete and approve the remaining contracts.
Sunny put up his hand. "Umm… Can I go, too? It's been a long time since I saw the kids."
Both Lucas and Corinne gave him an annoyed side glance and ignored him.
Sunny scratched his head awkwardly. Even though they both glared at him, he knew he still had a chance to tag along since they did not outright reject him.
After chatting in the suite for a while more, Corinne thought it was time to pick up the kids from kindergarten.
Thus, she and Lucas made their way out with Sunny following them sheepishly.

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...
