Chapter 1506

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.

Lucas turned to her and asked gently, “Since you’re here, how about I go with you to pick up the kids,

and then we can all have dinner together?”

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.

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.

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.
