Chapter 1299

“A nutritionist will prepare lunch for you later, Corinne. Is there anything you’d like to eat for dinner? I’ll

get the ingredients after work.”

Since Corinne chose to stay with them, she might as well treat herself to whatever she wanted. She

thought about it for a moment and said, “I’d like to eat some grilled meat.”

Lucas frowned, apparently unhappy at her request. “You should go easy on greasy food.”

Rather than protest, Corinne said, “Oh. Then I’ll order some food delivery.”

Lucas had no choice but to change his tone. “Okay, I’ll shop for some vegetables and meats after I get

off work. We’ll have some grilled food when I come back.”

Corinne grunted softly and lowered her head to eat some bacon. She took a bite and said in a sullen

tone, “Don’t forget to get that painting as soon as possible.”

She wanted to get her hands on the painting as soon as she could so Jeremy would no longer be able

to blackmail her into doing annoying things.

Lucas nodded. “I won’t forget about it.”

A sudden idea then occurred to Sunny. He took advantage of Lucas’ good mood and asked boldly,

“Our school has been turned into an exam venue today, and we don’t have any classes to attend. Is it

alright if I don’t go to tuition? I want to keep Corinne company today!”

Lucas shot his younger half-brother a displeased look.

Corinne then said, “Let him have some time off. It’s boring to be alone at home, and I’d appreciate

having some company.”

“Okay.” Lucas smiled at Corinne, and his expression turned gentle in an instant. He then glanced at his

insolent younger brother and said, “Be good, and don’t make Corinne angry.”

Sunny was thrilled when Lucas gave in. He nodded earnestly and said, “Don’t worry, Lucas! I promise I

won’t make her angry!”

After Lucas finished eating, he picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. “I have to go now. Be good,

and call me if you need anything.”

Corinne answered with a soft grunt.

After Lucas left, Sunny immediately stood up and slabbed some peanut butter on a piece of toast. He

handed it to Corinne and said, “Here!”

Corinne cocked an eyebrow and looked at the evenly spread peanut butter toast. She then looked at

Sunny and asked, “Why are you being so nice?”

Sunny answered proudly, “Can’t I be nice to you?”

Corinne chuckled. “You want something from me, don’t you?”

Sunny grinned after she saw through him. “No, of course not! I just realized how effective your words

are with Lucas! I just need to get on your good side, and Lucas won’t ever beat me up again in the

future!”

“Oh, quit the act. You’re not going anywhere today,” Corinne warned with a grin.

“Why can’t I?” Sunny frowned unhappily.

Corinne took the piece of peanut butter toast and munched on it. “Why should you? Didn’t you just tell

Lucas you want to keep me company at home?”

“Yes, and I will! I’ll spend the morning with you, and in the afternoon, I’ll go meet—”

Corinne cut him off without hesitation. “You’re meeting no one. If you do, I’ll call Lucas and tell him right

away.”

Sunny was upset. “How can you do that, Corinne? I don’t always get a free day to spend time with my

girlfriend!”

Corinne remained unmoved and looked at him as if he was just a child. “Girlfriend? Who permitted you

to be in a relationship at such a young age?”

Sunny had an annoyed expression. “I’m not a child! I’m an adult! I’m free to be in a relationship with

anyone!”

Corinne grinned. “Do you know who I am?”
