Chapter 1302

Corinne looked at the blue sky beyond the umbrella in silence. “You like Xante because she’s beautiful,

independent, and she’s different from the annoying group of girls at school?”

Sunny felt that Corinne described Xante perfectly and nodded right away. “Yeah, you could say that!”

Corinne grinned. “You might like her maturity now, but will you continue to like that in the future? What

if you go to college and meet better, more independent girls? Will you fall for them too?”

Sunny frowned and objected. “Why do you say that? Are you telling me Xante is the kind of girl you can

compare with any random girl on the street?”

Corinne looked at Sunny. “Of course not. I think she’s one of a kind. You’re the one who might mistake

this newfound feeling for love.”

Sunny raised his chin proudly. “No, that’s not how I feel! I’m not the kind of guy who will get attracted to

just anyone. I’m either in it for the long run, or I’m not. I don’t do things halfway. I take my relationship

with Xante very seriously. I’m going to marry her!”

Corinne did not intend to look down on Sunny or scoff at him. She merely felt that he was a little too

naive. All young people believed they would be with their partner forever, but they would break up later.

It was especially true of men—always very fickle.

The best-case scenario for two people in a relationship would be to either enjoy their time together

while it lasted or have the same mindset of going the distance. The worst-case scenario would be if

only one of them was committed to going the distance.

Xante might be a mature, level-headed, and independent woman, but there was no telling whether or

not she might fall head over heels for him and end up getting heartbroken. Corinne used to be

confident in herself too, believing she would neither fall in love that easily nor let men deceive her. In

the end, she suffered heartbreak all the same.

When Sunny saw Corinne space out, he asked in irritation, “Hey, Corinne! Will you let me meet her or

not? Newmoon Group isn’t very far away. I’ll just be out for an hour at noon, and I promise I’ll come

back on time!”

Corinne recovered from her sentimental thoughts and smiled when she looked at the simpleton in front

of her. “Go ahead, then.”

For the moment, at least, Sunny was still too naive to lie to Xante. Whether or not their relationship

would develop into something more would remain to be seen.

Sunny grinned when he received her permission. “I knew you’d let me! Xante told me you’re a softie at

heart even though you look intimidating. I guess it’s true, then!”

Corinne snorted. “I’ll tell Lucas if you’re even a second late!”

“I won’t, don’t worry!” promised Sunny. “Oh, but you have to hold the umbrella by yourself, though.

Since I can finally get to meet Xante, I need to choose some good clothes and do my hair too!”

He handed the umbrella over to Corinne and turned to leave.

Corinne was speechless. When Sunny said he was going to choose an outfit and style his hair, she felt

that he was acting like one of those young girls going on their first date. It was a good thing, though, as

it meant his love for Xante was pure and unadulterated.

Corinne then remembered her cell phone and picked it up to look at the screen. She was surprised to

discover that she was still on the video call. There was also someone on the other end of the call, but it

was not Jeremy.

The person was none other than Sophia, who sat on Jeremy’s office chair in a dignified manner and

was applying her lipstick in front of a small mirror.
