The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 457
Anya left her seat to get the cake.
Lucas watched her sister walk off before he looked at Jeremy, who was sitting across from him, and his gaze became dignified.
“Jeremy, don’t you think you’re too cold to Anya?”
Jeremy looked up at him. “Is this your first day knowing me?”
Lucas was speechless.
Jeremy was right. They knew each other since childhood and were in the same social circle.
Jeremy indeed was always indifferent growing up. He was never too friendly to anybody.
However, at the thought of his sister, whom he doted on since childhood, would be marrying a man who had no clue how to care
for a girl at all in the future, Lucas could not help but sigh. He had no idea what Anya saw in him!
Lucas did not hold Jeremy responsible for his attitude toward Anya earlier anymore. He got down to business with him.
“Jeremy, I already know that you and Anya adopted a child abroad behind both your parents’ backs.”
Jeremy stopped cutting his steak a little, then he continued.
Lucas continued, “Anya left home early and came home late recently because she was taking care of that child. Am I right?”
Jeremy’s expression remained the same. It was after he slowly swallowed the steak in his mouth that he said, “I’m sorry for
doing this without getting the Riveras’ permission.”
Lucas looked at him harshly and sneered, “Jeremy, I’m here to talk to you today, not to criticize you. Since the child has been
adopted, we will treat him as Anya’s child and raise him well. However, it’s time for you to define your relationship with my sister.
She can’t keep being in a vague relationship with you!”
Hearing that, Jeremy looked up at him and raised an eyebrow. “Lucas, you seem to have some misunderstanding. There’s
nothing vague going on between me and your sister.”

Lucas frowned. “Nothing going on? Then, what does it mean for the two of you to adopt a child together?”
Jeremy calmly put his cutlery down and picked up the napkin to wipe the corners of his lips slowly. Then, he straightened his
back, looking coldly and firmly at Lucas, and said seriously, To me, Anya will forever be a very important person who saved my
life. I will respect her, help her, repay her, and treat her like a close friend. Other than that, we won’t have any other
relationships.”
Lucas laughed sarcastically. “Close friend? So you will adopt a child with your so-called close friend?”
Jeremy picked up the glass of water with his long and broad hand, then calmly took a sip.” Lucas, to be honest with you, I also
feel this is very inappropriate. But your sister kept asking me to help, saying that she wanted to experience being a mother very
badly and begging me to go abroad with her to adopt a child. It was after careful consideration that I said yes to her.”
Lucas’s expression darkened. “It sounds to me like you’re telling me this as if this has nothing to do with you. Don’t you know the
reason Anya wanted to adopt a child at such a young age? Jeremy, don’t you forget that it’s for your sake that my sister lost her
ability to be a mother by bearing her child!”
Jeremy frowned and looked sullen at the mention of the reason.
