The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1726

"You better keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't come up with another scheme to hurt the boss! She has enough on her plate as it is!" warned Xante.

Sunny's expression became serious. "I know Corinne is really worried about Jeremy, so you have my word that I'm not going to let anyone else bother her."

Xante sat down and adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses. "I hope you can tell the right from the wrong this time instead of unconditionally protecting Anya."

Sunny used to think Anya was the kindest and gentlest person in the whole world. It was not until later that he realized she had been corrupted by their mother, who taught her to be selfish and entitled. Anya ended up as a person who would do anything or use anyone to achieve her goals.

"Don't worry; I won't do that. Even though they're both my sisters, I know very well in my heart who's right and who's wrong."

Xante fixed her troubled eyes on him, and they gradually calmed down.

…

That night, Francine immediately went to look for Corinne to tell her about Anya after she got home.

Corinne was surprised to hear Anya was out of prison as well. After thinking about it, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, thanks for telling me."

Her reaction was so unusually calm that it made Francine think she herself was overreacting.

"Corinne, aren't you scared Anya's going to hurt you again now that she's out?"

Corinne put her hand to her forehead and said tiredly, "She would've succeeded in hurting me years ago if she was that capable. Plus, I can't control her any more than I can control the weather. It's not like I should keep hiding just because she wants to hurt me. We'll just have to take one step at a time and see how it goes."

Francine frowned, troubled by the rising problems. 'Ugh! Why did Anya have to appear just when Corinne finally reunited with Jeremy? Corinne hasn't even gotten rid of Sophia, and now there's another trouble waiting for her. When is it all going to end?'

Corinne shook her head. "No. I don't know what's going on either, but I thought no harm in letting him try since he insisted."

Francine deliberated the manner. "Hmm, makes sense. He's the oldest, so he should lead by example."

She then went out.

Corinne remained sitting on the sofa in a daze. After a while, she got worriedly to go check on Joey.

The three kids would usually sleep with her in the same bed, with Christine on her right, and Bryan and Joey on her left. All three of them wanted to sleep close to her, but the sensible Joey would always let Bryan take the space next to her while he slept next to him. It was also Joey who would turn off the light at night.

Thus, Joey's sudden decision to sleep alone caused Corinne to reflect upon whether she had done something wrong as a mother to upset him.
