The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 732
Fifteen minutes later, Lucas brought out a hot bowl of oatmeal and placed it gently in front of Corinne.
âHere. Try some.â
Corinne looked at the oatmeal before picking up the spoon to stir it, revealing some dried nuts and
berries within it. She looked at Lucas and asked, âOatmeal with nuts and berries?â
Lucas nodded. âYeah. You need all the vitamins you can get now that youâre carrying a baby inside of
you. This used to be your favorite when you wereâ¦â
Hearing this, Corinne suddenly felt a shockwave coursing through her body, causing her to knit her
brows together and her eyes to waver as the realization dawned on her.
Lucas found it hard to continue when he saw the frown on Corinneâs face so he stopped speaking,
worried that revealing what he knew then would affect her appetite. âAhem. What I meant to say was,
eat the oatmeal while itâs still hot.â
Corinne regained her senses and said, âThank you.â She narrowed her eyes, scooped up a spoonful of
oatmeal, blew on it before putting it in her mouth. âOh my god! This is delicious!â The oatmeal was
unexpectedly up to her taste and the sweetness level was just right. However, she had no recollection
of ever eating this when she was young.
Lucas sat back down in his original seat and gently looked at her. His eyes seemed to contain within a
thousand storms as he tried to suppress all the emotions of finally finding his long- lost sister.
âHowâs the taste?â he asked softly and tentatively.
Corinne gave him a nod of approval and was about to praise him whenâ¦
âLucas! What are you doing here?â cried Anya from the stairs. She quickly ran down the stairs, made
her way to the dining room, and looked at Lucas curiously.
Lucas was surprised to see Anya coming down from the stairs too. âAnya, what are you doing here?â
he asked with a stern frown on his face.
Anya averted her gaze out of guilt. âUmm⦠I came here to find Francine. What about you? Why did
you come?â
She found it extremely strange that Lucas would show his face around the Holdensâ mansion. Francine,
who had followed Anya down the stairs, immediately knew the reason for Lucasâ visit as soon as she
laid eyes on him. âNeed you ask, Anya? Lucas mustâve come here to bring you home,â she said
confidently.
After thinking about it, Anya thought that must be it too; otherwise, what other reason would be strong
enough for Lucas to personally come here to the Holdensâ mansion. Even though she had no idea how
Lucas knew she was there, one thing she was sure of was Lucas must have been worried sick about
her to make him come all the way to bring her home.
This made Anya very happy since she thought Lucas was still mad at her for what happened to Joey
yesterday. Now she could finally rest easy with the knowledge that no matter what, her brother would
always believe her, forgive her, and love her.
Corinne stopped speaking and put all of her attention on finishing the bowl of oatmeal in
front of her the moment Anya and Francine came into the dining room.
