The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Both Xante and Aaron heard a loud bang coming from upstairs the moment they entered the Riveras’ living room, causing them
to look up the stairs in confusion.
Corinne, who sat on the sofa playing jigsaw puzzle with Joey, also heard the loud noise. She quickly stroked Joey’s head to
soothe him.
After glancing at the stairs, she calmly explained to Xante and Aaron, “Ignore the noise. Sunny just came back. It looks like
someone pissed him off again.”
Aaron’s smile deepened when he heard that. He then turned to Xante and mused, “I do wonder who dares to anger Mister
Sunny.”
Xante threw him a cold glance and said nothing. Instead, she turned to Corinne and said, “Boss, I heard Mister Jeremy went to
Molomia again. Is that true?”
Hearing this, Corinne instinctively glanced at her phone, which sat on a coffee table.
Jeremy promised to call her as soon as he landed, but there was still no news from him.
Aaron noticed Corinne glancing at the phone, so he smiled and said, “You must be waiting for Mister Jeremy to call you. Be
patient, Boss. It’ll take at least twenty hours for his plane to reach Molomia, so he won’t be calling so soon.”
Corinne snapped out of her daze. She had been so eager to hear his voice that she forgot that the flight would take 20 hours. It
seemed like she had a case of a baby brain. She massaged her temple tiredly and let out a deep breath.
Aaron sidled up to her. “Boss, you shouldn’t worry so much. I’m sure nothing will happen to a powerful man like Mister Jeremy.”
Corinne gave him a side-eye. “Have you gotten any information and photos of Adam?”
Aaron shook his head ruefully. “Unfortunately, no. I scoured the Internet for everything I could find on him, but there was only
information about his age and some rumors that sprung up around him. He’s known for being very cautious, so there was no
photo either. Plus, the network Adam Group built up is so complicated that no one dared to post anything about him.”
Corinne’s frown deepened when she heard that. She had heard some rumors about Adam too, mostly about his ruthless
personality and how he could kill people without blinking. How could she not be worried about Jeremy visiting him?
At that moment, she felt someone tugging her hand.

Joey had put down her half-finished jigsaw puzzle. Rubbing his eyes, he muttered, “Auntie Sissy, I’m sleepy...”
Corinne snapped out of her thoughts. She ruffled his hair and said, “Okay. Let’s go to sleep, then.”
Joey nodded docilely.
Aaron and Xante exchanged glances with each other. They were both thinking the same thing—Corinne would be a great
mother.
Corinne held Joey’s hand and stood up. “I’m fine, so you two can go back home too. Aaron, continue to look for information on
Adam. Call me as soon as you get anything.”
Aaron nodded. “Got it, Boss.”
After that, Corinne and Joey walked hand-in-hand up the stairs.
Seeing that Corinne was doing okay, Aaron and Xante were just about to leave when Lucas suddenly appeared in front of them.
