Xante raised her eyebrow at Sunny and smirked. “Oh yes, I remember now. You’ve got quite a hard skull, Mister Sunny. After all,
you broke the hospital’s glass door into smithereens with your head.”
Sunny’s face immediately darkened. “Don’t change the subject!” he shouted, unable to control his voice.
Xante quickly made a shushing motion by putting her finger to her lips before gesturing with her eyes at the fast-asleep Corinne.
Only then did Sunny realize he was being too loud. He pursed his lips and shut up.
Seeing Corinne fast asleep, Xante stood up and pulled the blanket around her before walking over to the sofa and sitting to play
on her phone to kill time. She knew Sunny would persist in asking questions if she stayed sitting beside Corinne, and she did not
want to risk another outburst from him.
Sunny scooted closer to her when he saw she was playing a game. ‘Wow, her level is quite high. And her username is Little Rain
Drop...? Why does that sound so familiar?’
“So you play this game, too? Let’s play together. You can join my team.”
Xante did not even look up from her phone when she said boredly, “No, thanks. I’m not interested in teaming up with a kid.”
Sunny frowned. “What the heck is wrong with you? I’ve told you I’m not a kid. I’m a fully grown adult! Are you going senile or
what?”
Xante simply ignored him.
Sunny grew irritated at not getting any response, but he reminded himself to stay cool as he was in the hospital. Thus, he
crossed his arm and glared at Xante from where he was sitting.
After a few rounds of the game, Xante was starting to get tired. She looked toward the bed and saw Corinne was still sleeping,
so she gestured to Sunny with her chin, saying, “Mister Sunny, can you please sit somewhere else? I want to sleep here for a
while.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
Sunny scoffed and stood up with a frown.
“Thanks!” Xante immediately spread herself out on the sofa as soon as Sunny got up. “Mister Sunny, if you’re going to stay, can
you watch over Corinne for a bit? Wake me up when she wakes up.”
“Fine,” said Sunny angrily. ‘I hate it when people order me around like a kid. Why do I always get treated like a kid whenever I
go?’
Not having any interest in watching Xante sleep, Sunny glanced at Corinne to make sure she was still asleep before walking
over to the window to look out at the view, thinking about what he should do about his mother and sister in the future.
After a while, he suddenly heard the sound of metal hitting the floor. He immediately turned around and saw Xante’s glasses had
slipped and fallen to the floor when she turned to her side.
‘And she calls herself an adult. Sheesh! She should’ve taken off her glasses before sleeping.’
Sunny walked over in annoyance, but his irritation turned to awe when he got a look at Xante’s face while bending down to pick
up her glasses.
‘Oh... Oh my god. She’s beautiful!’ Sunny stopped breathing for a second as his heart thumped loudly in his chest. ‘Why... Why
is my heart beating so loudly? There’s no way I’ll be interested in this old sod.’
Xante must have felt his presence near her because she suddenly opened her eyes. “What are you doing?” she asked. They
were almost nose-to-nose at that point.
For some reason, Sunny could not help but feel guilty when he met her eyes, even though he did not do anything wrong.
“Umm... You dropped your glasses, so...I thought I’d help you pick it up.”
