Corinne chuckled. “So, what brings you here so early in the morning?”


    Sunny shrugged. ‘ Nothing much! Didn’t we decide that I coulde visit you at the Holdens’ today?


    My jetg hasn’t worn off yet, and I couldn’t sleep at allst night. I’m feeling a little tired if I’m honest,


    but it’s going to feel like hell if I get some sleep. I thought I might as welle here a little earlier to see


    you. Then we could pick up the children together after you’re done with work. It’s been ages since Ist


    saw my nephews and niece!”


    Corinne nced at him and asked, “How are you so free? Doesn’t Lucas n to have you work at the


    company?”


    Sunny frowned and replied, “He wants to arrange something for me at thepany, but I need a little


    time to adapt and rest after returning to the country!”


    Corinne concurred, so she sat and picked up the full cup of coffee. She took a sip and asked


    inquisitively, “Speaking of which, I’ve been meaning to ask you what happened yesterday. Why were


    you with Xante?”


    Sunny had a sh of mixed emotions when Xante’s name was mentioned. He leaned back casually on


    the sofa. “I didn’t look for her. I happened to run into her at a business event yesterday, so we caught


    up with each other and talked about old times.”


    “‘Old times’, huh?” Corinne narrowed her eyes. “Is it what I think it is?”


    Sunny would have blushed in the past, but he was no longer the same man he was three years ago. In


    apparent indifference, he answered, “Is it wrong for adults to reminisce about old times? You shouldn’t


    try to tell me or Xante what to do. We’re all adults now. We can take responsibility for our actions.”


    Corinne observed Sunny and sensed he had changed quite a bit from before. She sipped her coffee


    and mused, “Don’t you think you should take your rtionships more seriously?”


    Sunny quipped, “Will being serious lead to a better oue? You were serious about Jeremy, but you


    still ended up raising the kids on your own.”


    Corinne’s hand that held the coffee cup froze, and her expression darkened.


    Sunny immediately realized he had misspoken and immediately sat up to correct himself. “Wait,


    Corinne! I wasn’t implying that Jeremy left you and ran away!”


    Corinne remained silent.


    Sunny felt that his exnation was only making things worse. He scratched his head and said, “Ugh, I


    guess I should stop talking now.”


    Corinne snapped back to her senses and sported a smile. “You’re right, though! Maybe I missed a lot of


    opportunities to spend time with him because I was too serious. I had been focused solely on the


    result. We should live in the present and be content with what we have at the moment. This is


    something I ought to learn from you.”

    Sunny felt uneasy, believing that Corinne was forcing a smile. However, he did not notice anything that


    gave it away.


    “I swear I never meant to hurt your feelings, Corinne,” he insisted.


    Corinne’s smile came from her heart, and so did her remark. She did not feel that Jeremy had


    abandoned her or ran away from her, but she did regret that her seriousness and pettiness had led her


    to keep a distance from him. Had she been less focused on the result and more on the moments she


    had with him, she might have been able to make more memories with him. 1


    Instead, she found that her memories with Jeremy were scant whenever she thought about him every


    night. Her mind seemed to breeze through the


    few moments she spent with him, and all that was left for her after that was an emptiness filled with


    intense yearning.


    Perhaps her nights would be less lonely if she had more memories to reminisce about.


    Corinne snapped back to the present and added, “I have a meetingter. Go pass the time at a nearby


    mall.”
