Chapter 1389


    “Mister Lucas, you’re still awake?” asked Aaron with a smile.


    Lucas looked up the stairs to make sure Corinne was out of earshot before turning his attention to


    Aaron. “Don’t tell Corinne anything about Adam,” he warned sternly.


    Aaron was a little taken aback. “Why not?”


    “You don’t need to look into Adam to know what kind of person he is. How do you think Corinne would


    react if you told her about all the horrible things he did before? She might not say it, but we all know


    she’s very worried about Jeremy. So, for her and the baby’s sake, just keep your mouth shut about


    Adam. The less she knows, the better.”


    Aaron smiled. “Oh wow, I didn’t know you cared about the boss so much. After all, it wasn’t that long


    when you repeatedly hurt her because of Miss Anya. I find it hard to believe you’re the same person as


    you were back then.”

    Lucas instantly felt guilty when Aaron brought up his past. He could, of course, tell he was mocking


    him. However, he did not get angry as he felt like he deserved it. He would not even get angry at Aaron


    if he cussed him out for being a b*stard.


    Corinne still had not forgiven him or epted him as her brother.


    “Rest assured, I know very well what I did before. That’s why I’m trying very hard to make it up to her.


    It’ste, so the two of you should head back home. Just remember what I said—keep it to yourselves


    when you find out anything about Adam.”


    Aaron nodded. “I hope you’ll be a better brother to her this time, Mister Lucas.”


    He then waved goodbye and left with Xante.


    Xante and Aaron had just stepped out of the door when Lucas heard the sound of hurried footsteps


    coming down the stairs.


    Lucas did not need to look up to know it was Sunny who came down.


    “There’s no point ining down now that they’ve left,” he said.


    Sunny rushed over to the floor-to-ceiling window. His face tensed up, and his hands balled into fists


    when he saw Xante leaving as though he had made up his mind.


    Lucas could not help but worry about his helpless little brother. “That’s enough. You should use this


    time to study if you have this much time so you can get a good job. At least you’ll have something to


    offer the girl you like.”


    Sunny was obviously hurt. After watching Xante get into her car, he turned and said firmly, “Lucas, I


    want to study abroad.”


    Lucas was midway up the stairs when he heard Sunny. Surprised, he stopped in his tracks and turned.


    “What did you just say?”


    Sunny looked up at him and said resolutely, “I said I want to study abroad. Didn’t you already choose a


    school for me? Well, I’m willing to go now!”


    Lucas was at his wits’ end when Sunny kept failing his college admission tests. He did not expect


    Sunny to get into a good university solely with his efforts since Sunny was always a poor student.


    Sunny had failed so many subjects in school that he could neverpete with the other students at


    home. Thus, Lucas found Sunny an elite boarding school abroad. He had hoped Sunny would be able


    to reform himself there.


    However, Sunny was resistant to the idea of going to a boarding school to the extent of threatening to


    end his life. Left with no choice, Lucas decided to put the n on pause for the time being.


    Thus, Lucas was understandably surprised that Sunny would volunteer to go himself.


    “Are you sure you want to go?” Lucas asked again, just to be sure. “Because I’m not going to bring you


    back if you find it hard there. You’re a grown-up now, so you must take responsibility for your


    decisions.”


    Sunny stared at him resolutely. “Yes, I’ve thought it through, and I really want to go. I promise I’m not


    going to regret my decision.”
