Corinne was relieved to hear the news.


    “Then why did Sophia still ask you to meet her here?” she asked.

    A hint of guilt shed across Lucas’ eyes.


    How could he bear to tell her that the man she had been waiting for the past three years was in the


    suite opposite theirs and that he had forgotten about her? Not to mention, he was ying happy family


    with another woman and the baby he stole from her.


    He could not. It would be too cruel.


    “Oh, it’s nothing. She didn’t really ask me to meet her here. I just happened to find out she’s staying in


    this hotel too. Out of curiosity, I wanted to find out who she came back with, so I made up some excuse


    to meet her,” lied Lucas.


    Corinne’s eyes turned sharp. “Then did you see if there’s anyone else in her suite?” she asked


    curiously.


    Lucas shook his head. “I only saw her with a kid wearing a cartoon mask. There was no one else.”


    In truth, Lucas did not see Sophia at all because he was already back in his own suite by the time she


    got back.


    It was when Sunny was waiting for the lift, so he did not see Lucasing out either.


    Corinne frowned. She did not suspect anything was amiss, but she could not help but feel


    disappointed.


    After that, she pointed to Sunny and said, “Mister Lucas, it was Sunny who kicked up a fuss. He said


    you might’ve gone astray and asked me toe and save you.”


    Sunny thought he was off the hook by then, so he tensed up again when Corinne threw him under the


    bus.


    ‘Wha…? How could she do this to me? Just my rotten luck,’ he thought.


    He smiled sheepishly. “Lucas, I only asked her toe ’cause I was really worried about you…”


    Lucas looked at him coldly. “More like you have nothing better to do. I was nning on giving you a few


    days off since you just got back, but I see there’s no need for that now. You’ll start working in the


    company tomorrow.”


    Sunny pouted. “No! I haven’t had enough fun. Please give me two more days, Lucas.”


    “You don’t need toe back home anymore if I don’t see you at thepany tomorrow morning!”


    said Lucas sternly.


    Sunny epted his fate. Sighing, he said, “Fine. I’ll go. Happy?”


    Corinne felt vindicated at Sunny receiving his punishment. She regretted listening to him anding to


    the hotel to ‘save’ Lucas when she could have used that time on her work.


    Lucas turned to her and asked gently, “Since you’re here, how about I go with you to pick up the kids,


    and then we can all have dinner together?”


    Corinne looked at her watch. There was another hour to go before the kids got off school, so she


    nodded. “Okay.”


    The kids quite liked their Uncle Lucas, so she thought they would be happy to see himter. Also, she


    would not be able to finish her work even if she went back to the office then, so she might as well go


    earlier tomorrow toplete and approve the remaining contracts.


    Sunny put up his hand. “Umm… Can I go, too? It’s been a long time since I saw the kids.”


    Both Lucas and Corinne gave him an annoyed side nce and ignored him.


    Sunny scratched his head awkwardly. Even though they both red at him, he knew he still had a


    chance to tag along since they did not outright reject him.


    After chatting in the suite for a while more, Corinne thought it was time to pick up the kids from


    kindergarten.


    Thus, she and Lucas made their way out with Sunny following them sheepishly.
