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 sess. 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 nced 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 ced one hand on her shoulder. He exerted a bit of force to stop her froming any


    closer. He then asked, “Why didn’t shee 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 toe 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 toe 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 toe 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?”
