The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne nodded. She ignored the two brothers and left at once.
When Corinne walked toward Luna’s room—the room that Lucas had forbidden anyone else to enter—Sunny became even
more emotional. “Is she... Is she really Luna?”
Lucas narrowed his eyes as he watched Corinne enter the room. He then looked at his knuckleheaded younger brother and
warned, “Don’t tell anyone about this. Especially not Grandpa and Grandma. Don’t tell Dad either.”
Lucas’ stern expression made Sunny aware of how serious the matter was. He nodded solemnly and said, “I won’t! I promise!”
“Go back to your room and get some sleep,” Lucas said as he finally allowed Sunny to leave. “Don’t disturb her if you can help
it.”
Sunny answered resentfully, “Fine...”
As soon as he went back to his room, Sunny immediately called Xante. “Xante! Corinne’s been found! She’s at my house!”
“I know that,” Xante replied nonchalantly.
“You do? Oh... Corinne must’ve called you earlier, then?”
“She did.”
“I found out something that’s even more shocking!” Sunny said.
“What?”
It was difficult for Sunny to contain his surprise, he deliberately lowered his voice and said softly, “She’s my half-sister who was
lost for so many years!”
Xante kept quiet for a moment before asking, “You found out?”
Sunny was taken aback. “What do you mean? Did you know about it?”
“Yes.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

Xante remained silent.
“Man, do I have a lot to tell you, Xante. I used to bully Corinne in the past, but now that I think about it, I regret bullying her like
that...”
Faced with Sunny’s endless rambling, Xante placed the phone on her bedroom table and left him to chatter away. She then
changed into her home clothes and came out of her bedroom.
Aaron had brought a glass of water for Jason. “Have some water, Jason. You can take a short break here before heading back
home to get some rest. Worrying about Corinne must be very tiring for you.”
Jason took the glass that Aaron handed over and drank a sip of water. “Why can’t you tell me where Corinne is?”
Aaron smiled helplessly. “Because she called us and specifically instructed us not to let anyone know.”
“Are you sure she’s safe?” Jason frowned.
Aaron nodded. “Yes. A hundred percent sure. You don’t need to worry so much. I trust you’ll find out soon.”
Jason sought further confirmation. “Is she at Jeremy’s place?”
Aaron shook his head. “I can assure you she’s not.”
Jason remained silent for a moment before putting down the glass of water. “I’ll be excusing myself, then.”
Aaron then said politely, “Take care now. Drive safe.
Aaron closed the door after sending Jason off. He then turned around and shrugged his shoulders at Xante. “He’s smitten with
her.”
Xante fetched herself a glass of water. “Do you think she’s interested in him?”
Aaron shook his head. “No. She still can’t move on from Jeremy. It’s good that she’s at the Riveras right now. Lucas won’t let
Jeremy bother her.”
“Let’s hope so.” Xante drank her water.

Corinne took a bath in the room that she was said to have lived in when she was younger. The maids prepared well-fitting
pajamas for her, replaced the bedsheets and pillowcases, and even brought her a charger.
While she wiped her hair, she charged her phone and switched it on to look at her unread messages.
