Chapter 1289


    Sunny’s curiosity was piqued, so he said, “I’m going up to take a look!”


    Felix stopped him. “Mister Sunny, I think you should go back to your room. That way, Mister Lucas


    might forget all about your transgression today.”


    Sunny flung his hand away. “Don’t worry. I’m just going to listen from outside the door to see if it’s


    anyone I recognize. I’ll make sure Lucas doesn’t find out about it.”


    Felix wanted to stop him again, but Sunny ran off before he could grab him.


    Meanwhile, in Lucas’ room…

    Lucas was peeling a mandarin orange for Corinne. “Here, Corinne. Have some mandarin oranges,” he


    said gently.


    Corinne waved her hand. “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.”


    Lucas ced the mandarin orange back on the table with a resigned sigh before picking up a ss of


    milk again. “The milk isn’t that hot now. Do you want to drink it?”


    Corinne took the ss of milk from his hand, but instead of drinking it, she ced it back on the coffee


    table. “Mister Lucas, you don’t have to tiptoe around me.”


    Lucas sighed again. “I’m not tiptoeing around you. I’m just trying to show you my concern.”


    Corinne looked at him quietly. “Thank you for your concern and…for picking me up just now.”


    “You don’t have to thank me, Corinne. I’m d you were willing to ask me for help.”


    Corinne fell silent. She would not have asked him for help if she had a choice. When Jeremy would not


    let her out of the car, she knew it would be useless to ask Aaron, Xante, or Jason for help since Jeremy


    feared none of them.


    The only person who could make Jeremy budge was Lucas, despite the animosity between them. Not


    to mention, she was well aware that Lucas woulde to her rescue if she asked for his help.


    Thus, she secretly sent her location and a message to Lucas, asking him to pick her up, while Jeremy


    was not looking.


    Lucas arrived swiftly. Surprisingly, Jeremy did not be angry when he saw Lucas. After the two


    men talked, Jeremy released Corinne and let her get out of his car so she could get into Lucas’ car.


    Corinne assumed Lucas was going to drop her home or at least somewhere where she could call a


    cab, but he brought her to the Riveras’ mansion instead.


    “Mister Lucas, why did you bring me here? It’s gettingte. My friends will start worrying about me if I’m


    not home soon,” said Corinne with a frown.


    Lucas looked at her gently. “This is your home. You can stay here tonight. I’ve asked the servants to


    keep your room clean so you can move in straight away.”


    “Sorry, but there seems to be some misunderstanding. I don’t have any ns to move back home. I


    asked you for help with the assumption you’ll give me a ride home.”


    Lucas mped his hand down on Corinne to stop her from getting up. “Be a good girl and listen to me,


    Corinne. The baby’s due date is near. Heck, you might even go intobor now. The only way for me to


    not worry about you is if you stay at the mansion with me.”


    “But I’m staying with my friends! They’ll send me to the hospital at the first sign of the babying. I


    know you’re worried about me, Mister Lucas, but I don’t think it’s appropriate for an outsider like me to


    stay at your home,” said Corinne.


    Lucas felt a pang in his heart when she said that. “Corinne, how can you call yourself an outsider?


    Grandpa, Grandma, and even our dad… They never stopped missing you or hoping you’de home


    over the years!”
