Corinne was relieved to hear the news.
“Then why did Sophia still ask you to meet her here?” she asked.
A hint of guilt flashed across Lucas’ eyes.
How could he bear to tell her that the man she had been waiting for the past
three years was in the suite opposite theirs and that he had forgotten about her?
Not to mention, he was playing happy family with another woman and the baby
he stole from her.
He could not. It would be too cruel.
“Oh, it's nothing. She didn’t really ask me to meet her here. I just happened to
find out she’s staying in this hotel too. Out of curiosity, I wanted to find out who
she came back with, so I made up some excuse to meet her,” lied Lucas.
Corinne’s eyes turned sharp. “Then did you see if there’s anyone else in her
suite?” she asked curiously.
Lucas shook his head. “I only saw her with a kid wearing a cartoon mask. There
was no one else.”
In truth, Lucas did not see Sophia at all because he was already back in his own
suite by the time she got back.
It was when Sunny was waiting for the lift, so he did not see Lucas coming out
either.
Corinne frowned. She did not suspect anything was amiss, but she could not
help but feel disappointed.
After that, she pointed to Sunny and said, “Mister Lucas, it was Sunny who
kicked up a fuss. He said you might've gone astray and asked me to come and
save you.”
Sunny thought he was off the hook by then, so he tensed up again when Corinne
threw him under the bus.
“Wha...? How could she do this to me? Just my rotten luck,” he thought.
He smiled sheepishly. “Lucas, I only asked her to come "cause I was really
worried about you...”
Lucas looked at him coldly. “More like you have nothing better to do. I was
planning on giving you a few days off since you just got back, but I see there's no
need for that now. You'll start working in the company tomorrow.”
Sunny pouted. “No! I haven't had enough fun. Please give me two more days,
Lucas.”
“You don't need to come back home anymore if I don’t see you at the company
tomorrow morning!” said Lucas sternly.
Sunny accepted his fate. Sighing, he said, “Fine. I'll go. Happy?”
Corinne felt vindicated at Sunny receiving his punishment. She regretted listening
to him and coming to the hotel to “save’ Lucas when she could have used that
time on her work.

Corinne looked at her watch. There was another hour to go before the kids got off
school, so she nodded. “Okay.”

The kids quite liked their Uncle Lucas,
so she thought they would be happy
to see him later. Also, she would not
be able to finish her work even if she
went back to the office then, so she
might as well go earlier tomorrow to
complete and approve the remaining
contracts. Visit Popsnovel.com to

Sunny put up his hand. “Umm... Can I go, too? It's been a long time since I saw
the kids.”
Both Lucas and Corinne gave him an annoyed side glance and ignored him.

Sunny scratched his head awkwardly.
Even though they both glared at him,
he knew he still had a chance to tag
along since they did not outright
reject him. Visit Popsnovel.com to

After chatting in the suite for a while more, Corinne thought it was time to pick up
the kids from kindergarten.
Thus, she and Lucas made their way out with Sunny following them sheepishly.
