The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Lucas thanked Francine and turned to leave after he saved Sophia’s phone number in his phone.
Francine followed after him worriedly. “Wait! I want to go with you to look for Corinne, too!”
Lucas did not stop walking. Instead, it was Sunny who stopped Francine. He raised his arm and said, “Francine, it’s best if you
stay here with your grandparents. They need you more than ever now. You can rest assured that Lucas will find Corinne.”
Francine frowned. “But...”
“Now that Jeremy isn’t here, you need to step up to take care of your grandparents. Only then can he rest in peace,” said Sunny.
Francine’s eyes wavered. “Okay. You’re right. I’ll stay here. But call me the moment you found Corinne, okay?”
Sunny nodded. “You have my word.”
...
Lucas called Sophia as soon as he got into the car.
“Hello, who’s this?” asked Sophia breezily, which was a stark contrast to when she was on the phone with Francine.
Lucas got straight into the matter. “Where’s Corinne?” he asked coldly.
Sophia was stunned for a moment before saying, “Mister Lucas, I presume? As I’ve told Francine, I haven’t seen Corinne, nor do
I know where she is. In fact, how can you question me when you wouldn’t even let me see her? Seriously, how the heck would I
know where she is?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
Lucas was not as easily fooled as Francine was. “Is your car plate number XX896?”
“No. My car plate number is SS975,” said Sophia calmly. “Mister Lucas, I’m going to get angry if you don’t stop accusing me
without having any concrete evidence. I would’ve sued you for defamation if I wasn’t so sad about what happened to Jeremy.”
Lucas narrowed his eyes. For a moment, he did not know what to say to Sophia.
XX896 was the car plate number Sunny memorized when he saw Corinne get into the red sports car, and Lucas had asked his
men to look into who the car plate number belonged to. However, there was no red sports car with the car plate number XX896.

The traffic camera did not have any record of the red sports car going anywhere either. Not only was the car plate number fake,
but the driver knew where to drive to avoid being captured by the traffic camera. The whole thing was no doubt premeditated.
Sophia hung up the phone. Lucas did not call her back since he knew there was no point in asking her any further questions.
At that moment, another black car stopped in front of the Holdens’ mansion. Xante and Aaron quickly got down and walked up to
Lucas and Sunny.
“How did it go? Is the boss with the Holdens?” asked Xante.
Sunny shook his head ruefully. “No. We asked Francine just now, but she said Corinne has never been there today.”
Xante frowned. “Didn’t I tell you not to let the boss know about Mister Jeremy’s death until the baby is safely delivered? Why
can’t you Riveras do something as simple as that? Why did you insist on having her move in with you when you can’t even take
care of her?”
Sunny dropped his head in shame while Lucas sat silently in his car, lost in thought.
Aaron walked over and patted Xante’s shoulder to calm her.
“The most important thing now is to find the boss. If the boss didn’t come here, where do you think she would go? In other words,
what could be so important to her that she’d risk her baby’s life and escape out of the hospital?”
“Needless to say, it must have something to do with Jeremy,” said Sunny with a frown.
