The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1505
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. 1
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 looked at Sunny's petrified reaction. He took a sip of coffee before raising an eyebrow. "I take it you're here to catch me in
the act? And you even brought Corinne along! Quite an initiative on your part."
Beads of sweat were starting to form on Sunny's forehead, and he was starting to feel guilty. Nevertheless, he still questioned
Lucas, "Why would you meet Sophia at a hotel if you were just discussing business?"
Lucas chuckled. ’Your boldness seems to have increased a lot during the past three years. To think you'd even start questioning
my plans!"
Sunny was fast losing confidence, and he had a frustrated frown. "I'm just concerned about you, Lucas! You know that Sophia
isn't a good person, and you'll only get yourself in trouble if you're involved with her! You agree, don't you, Corinne?"
Sunny sought support from Corinne and avoided confrontation.
Corinne gazed calmly at Lucas and asked, "Could you please explain what's going on?"
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."
