Chapter 1487

Lucas narrowed his eyes at the phone on the coffee table. He picked it up and gave Corinne a call first.

She picked up the call after a few rings.

“Hey, Corinne. You were looking for me?”

“Hello, Mister Lucas. Has the auction house given you a reply as to whether Sophia is Adam’s

daughter?”

Lucas could not help but feel his heart ache at the thought of Corinne worrying about the Holdens’

business while Jeremy was playing ‘happy family’ with Sophia right opposite his suite.

“They haven’t got back to me yet, but you don’t have to worry about this, Corinne. You have my word

that I’ll get that piece of land for you at a satisfactory price.”

“Call me as soon as you get news from the auction house,” said Corinne. She was indeed anxious

about the matter since she felt that Sophia was not going to admit to her wrongdoing that easily.

“Will do. What are the kids doing now?” asked Lucas.

“They’re having their dinner and will come up to the room shortly.”

“Okay. Have a good rest, and don’t worry so much. You and the kids are welcome to stay with me

whenever you’re tired of living with the Holdens.”

Corinne fell silent. Over the years, Lucas frequently offered her to stay with the Riveras, but she would

always turn him down.

She knew he did not like her waiting for her missing husband to come home, but it was her choice.

Besides, even if she decided to leave the Holdens one day, she would not stay with the Riveras either.

She still had not forgotten how the Riveras kicked her and her mother out of the house.

“I’ll leave you to what you were doing before, Mister Lucas. Goodbye,” said Corinne without giving him

a conclusive answer to his offer and hung up the phone.

Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose when he heard the disconnected dial tone coming from his

phone.

His biggest wish was for Corinne to live the rest of her life happily and without unexpected twists and

turns.

He gave himself some time to compose himself before calling his father.” Hey Dad, what’s up?”

“Lucas, where are you now? Why didn’t you come home for the weekend?” asked Maxwell gently.

“And why are you looking for me?” asked Lucas coldly. He still had not forgiven Maxwell for kicking

Emily and Corinne out of the house many years ago.

“Have you forgotten that Sunny is coming back today? Your grandparents and I just came back from

picking him up from the airport. Why don’t you come home? We’ll have a family dinner together to

welcome him back.”

“You guys can go ahead without me. I have some urgent matters to attend to at the moment, so I won’t

be going home.”

“Sunny has been gone for three years. As his brother, you should at least come home to welcome him

back.”

“I’ll go home tomorrow. I have to hang up now. Bye.”

‘Sh*t, I forgot that idiot brother of mine is coming home today,’ thought Lucas in annoyance after he

hung up the phone.

Over the past three years, he would often drop by Sunny’s school to see how he was doing. The school

dean told Lucas Sunny had been improving very fast and that he had been working very hard.

Lucas was actually surprised by Sunny’s improvement. He thought Sunny would be begging to go

home after a few days.
