The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 784
âMister Sunny, something happened!â
âWhat? What is it? Shock me again like that, and Iâll punch you,â said Sunny.
He was trying to figure out his math homework when Felix suddenly barged in and interrupted him.
âBut something did happen. I saw your grandfather and grandmother talking to a guest like they were
very close or something,â replied Felix haplessly.
Hearing this angered Sunny even more. âWhatâs so weird about that? We have guests over all the time!
Theyâre either Grandpaâs old friends or Grandmaâs bridge friends!â
Felix shook his head rapidly. âNo, their guest is a young lady now, and you know her too!â Sunny
frowned. âA young lady who I know? Who is it? God, can you spit it out in one go?â âItâs Missus Holden!
You know, that lady you keep causing trouble forâ¦â
Sunny immediately put down his pen and looked up in surprise. âAre you talking about Corinne?â
Felix nodded. âYeah! Thatâs her! Donât you find it strange at all, Mister Sunny? I mean, the Riveras and
the Holdens rarely cross each otherâs threshold, yet your grandfather and grandmother treat Missus
Holden so warmly. I even heard them calling her âsavior.â
Sunny did not hear the rest of what Felix said. At the mention of Corinneâs name, his eyes started
burning with anger. âHow dare she come to our house! Where is she now? Iâve got a bone to pick with
her!â
âMister Cedric is showing her around the garden. Mister Sunny, what did she do to you to make you so
angry at her?â
Sunny rolled up his sleeves as if getting ready for a fight. âThatâs none of your business. Help me finish
my math homework. Iâm going out for a while.â
âIâm afraid I canât do that, Mister Sunny. Mister Lucas will fire me if he finds out,â said Felix helplessly.
âDo as I tell you! How would Lucas find out if you and I donât say a word about this? Do it now!
Felix looked like he was about to cry. âI shouldnât have told Mister Sunny whatâs happening
downstairsâ¦â
The Riverasâ entire compound covered an area of a couple of acres. Except for the mansion sitting in
the middle of the land, the rest of the spaces were full of various flowers, plants, and trees. It was a
beautiful sight to behold.
With one hand on his cane and the other supported by his servant, Cedric showed Corinne the flowers
he planted and which of the other plants were carefully cared for by Beatrice.
While listening to Cedric going on about the plants, Corinne made sure to keep an eye out for
clues. Oddly enough, she had no recollection of ever living in that mansion.
Corinne was five years old when Emily took her away from the family, so she should at least have
some memories of playing in the garden. Alas, no sense of familiarity or memories rushed back into her
mind.
To be more accurate, she seemed to have no memories from before the age of five.
Soon, they came to a field of dusty blue flowers which Corinne had never seen before. Turning around,
she was about to ask Cedric for the name of the flower when she noticed he did not look too good.
âGrandpa Cedric, are you okay?â
Cedric paused and put his hand to his head. âIâm okay. I was so excited about you coming that I forgot
to take my blood pressure medicine.â
âMister Cedric, how could youâve forgotten to take your medicine? Itâs important you take them every
day. Letâs go back to take them now,â said his servant hurriedly.
Cedric wanted to show Corinne so much more. Besides, it would be rude to cut short the tour. Corinne
could tell what he was thinking, so she said, âItâs okay, Grandpa Cedric. Why donât you go back to take
your medicine first? Iâll walk around for a while before going back to find you.â
