“Mister Lucas, you’re still awake?” asked Aaron with a smile.
Lucas looked up the stairs to make sure Corinne was out of earshot before turning his attention to Aaron. “Don’t tell
Corinne anything about Adam,” he warned sternly.
Aaron was a little taken aback. “Why not?”
“You don’t need to look into Adam to know what kind of person he is. How do you think Corinne would react if you
told her about all the horrible things he did before? She might not say it, but we all know she’s very worried about
Jeremy. So, for her and the baby’s sake, just keep your mouth shut about Adam. The less she knows, the better.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAaron smiled. “Oh wow, I didn’t know you cared about the boss so much. After all, it wasn’t that long when you
repeatedly hurt her because of Miss Anya. I find it hard to believe you’re the same person as you were back then.”
Lucas instantly felt guilty when Aaron brought up his past. He could, of course, tell he was mocking him. However,
he did not get angry as he felt like he deserved it. He would not even get angry at Aaron if he cussed him out for
being a b*stard.
Corinne still had not forgiven him or accepted him as her brother.
“Rest assured, I know very well what I did before. That’s why I’m trying very hard to make it up to her. It’s late, so
the two of you should head back home. Just remember what I said—keep it to yourselves when you find out
anything about Adam.”
Aaron nodded. “I hope you’ll be a better brother to her this time, Mister Lucas.”
He then waved goodbye and left with Xante.
Xante and Aaron had just stepped out of the door when Lucas heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming down
the stairs.
Lucas did not need to look up to know it was Sunny who came down.
“There’s no point in coming down now that they’ve left,” he said.
Sunny rushed over to the floor-to-ceiling window. His face tensed up, and his hands balled into fists when he saw
Xante leaving as though he had made up his mind.
Lucas could not help but worry about his helpless little brother. “That’s enough. You should use this time to study if
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou have this much time so you can get a good job. At least you’ll have something to offer the girl you like.”
Sunny was obviously hurt. After watching Xante get into her car, he turned and said firmly, “Lucas, I want to study
abroad.”
Lucas was midway up the stairs when he heard Sunny. Surprised, he stopped in his tracks and turned. “What did
you just say?”
Sunny looked up at him and said resolutely, “I said I want to study abroad. Didn’t you already choose a school for
me? Well, I’m willing to go now!”
