Sunny peeked out his head to have a better look at his niece and nephew when the two
nurses took them out of the room. He was instantly smitten with them.
Corinne noticed Sunny after seeing the nurses off. “Why are you here alone? Where’s
Mister Lucas?”
“I came rushing here from home as soon as I heard you’re giving birth, so I didn’t see
him.”
“Oh.” Corinne had no more energy to spare in asking anything else.
Sunny moved closer to Corinne and said with an awed face, “Corinne, you’re really
impressive for giving birth to twins, do you know that?”
Corinne chuckled drily. “You’re too kind.”
Not knowing the real situation, Sunny looked around the room before asking curiously,
“Where’s Jeremy? Isn’t he here?”
Corinne’s face instantly darkened when she heard the name. “Only the devil knows where
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe is now,” she said with a scoff.
Sunny frowned. “What the hell? How can he not be here for his own babies’ birth? He
really has dropped the ball this time,” he grumbled heatedly.
Corinne’s face darkened even more.
Seeing this, Xante regretted letting him in. She cleared her throat and pulled him away.
“That’s enough out of you. She needs more rest, so keep your mouth shut.”
At her touch, Sunny quickly jumped away from her as though he had been electrocuted.
Xante was understandably stunned by his reaction since he always loved to touch her
every chance he got.
Sunny became annoyed under Xante’s probing stare. “Ahem! Corinne, I’ll be leaving now. I
hope you get better soon. And oh, let me know if there’s anything you’re craving for. I’ll go
buy it for you.”
“Okay, thanks,” said Corinne with a nod, “but there’s nothing I’m craving for at the
moment.”
Sunny nodded back at her and went out of the room.
Xante kept staring at the door long after he was gone.
Sunny sat back down on the hospital corridor chair once he was out of the room. He then
dropped his head and became lost in thought until a pair of familiar-looking high heels
appeared before his eyes.
Stunned, he looked up to see Xante looking down at him.
“What do you want?” he asked rudely.
Xante frowned and pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses that slid down her nose. “What
has gotten into you?”
Sunny scoffed. “Nothing! I’m perfectly fine. I’m just sitting here guarding Corinne and the
twins. Don’t tell me I can’t even do that.”
Xante’s frown deepened. ‘He sure is acting weird today. Did something happen?’

“Do whatever you want,” she said at least.
Sunny glared at her. “Stay out of my sight. I don’t want to see you.”
Xante was visibly stunned. ‘He doesn’t want to see me?’
She scoffed lightly and sat down next to him. “So, you’ve finally got some sense knocked
into you, huh.”
Sunny did not like how nonchalant Xante was. “Heh! No matter how much sense I have, I’ll
never be able to jump from one partner to another like you did!”
Even though what he said was demeaning, Xante did not get angry. Instead, she asked
curiously, “What’s the matter with you today? It’s not like you didn’t know I wasn’t looking
for a relationship when you first met me.”
Sunny gritted his teeth. He wanted to tear his hair out of anger whenever he thought
about the half-naked Shawn parading around in Xante’s office.
However, it finally dawned on him just how one-sided his relationship with Xante was. She
never saw him as her boyfriend, so he did not even have the right to get jealous. Every
time he lost his temper, she would only laugh at how immature he acted.
