Chapter 897

Edmund thought for a moment before saying, “Wait here. I’ll go in and talk to him.”

Anya smiled mischievously. She felt as though she had achieved success. As long as Edmund

went in and told him that she had turned over a new leaf, Lucas would not be so harsh on her

anymore!

As expected, Lucas came out to meet her in person.

“Lucas! I brought your favorite stir-fries!’ Anya rushed toward Lucas like she always did and acted

coquettishly.

However, Lucas pushed her away coldly and glanced around. “Where’s Corinne? Isn’t she with

you?”

Anya was taken aback. ‘Why is he asking about Corinne?!’

’Umm… Corinne is waiting for me in the car downstairs! I’m on good terms with her now. If she’s

willing to get in the same car with me, it means she’s willing to forgive me! I know I was wrong, so

please don’t stay angry at me, okay?”

Anya then wanted to throw herself into Lucas’ embrace again.

Lucas placed one hand on her shoulder. He exerted a bit of force to stop her from coming any

closer. He then asked, “Why didn’t she come up here?’

Anya frowned subtly. She could sense that Lucas was showing a little too much concern for

Corinne, but she did not dare to show her dissatisfaction with him at that moment.

’I invited Corinne up, but she didn’t want to. She said she would wait for me in the car, so I didn’t

force her.”

Lucas looked downcast. “She refused your invitation to come up?”

Anya nodded.

Lucas felt helpless. Corinne probably refused because she did not want to see her sorry excuse of

a brother.

Edmund knew what was on Lucas’ mind, so he stepped forward and asked, “Shall I invite Miss

Corinne up?”

Lucas nodded. “Yes. Ask her nicely to come up here and have lunch.”

“Understood!’ Edmund immediately turned so he could do as he was told.

Lucas looked on uneasily as Edmund left. He was a little worried that Edmund might not be able to

convince Corinne to come up, so he thought of going over to meet her himself. Then again, he felt

that doing so would make him look a little too suspicious.

For the first time, Anya could see the uneasiness on Lucas’ face. She wondered if Corinne was the

cause.

She was infinitely curious as to why Lucas cared so much about Corinne.

“Why does Corinne seem so important to you? Must you ask Edmund to invite her over?” she

blurted that question as curiosity got the better of her.

Lucas snapped back to his senses and looked calmly at Anya. “She is Grandpa’s savior, but our

family has never treated her well before. You, especially, should know better than anyone what

you’ve done to her in the past. Don’t you think our family should right those wrongs and be nicer to

her?”
