Before they left the suite, Edmund peeked through the peephole to make sure no one was in the


    corridor before turning and nodding at Lucas.


    It was only then Lucas opened the door and he and Corinne walked out.


    s, the thing he feared the most happened nheless.


    At that moment, Sophia’s door opened too, and she was wheeling Jeremy out while saying, “Zachary, I


    know you’re bored with being cooped up in the hotel all day long, but I really have my hands full with


    Dad’s business. So I can’t take you out that often nor do I feelfortable letting other people do it.


    But what I can do is take you to the garden in the hotel for some fresh air, and I promise I’ll take you


    and Benjamin to travel round the world after everything is settled here.”


    Corinne’s face immediately froze when she saw the man in the wheelchair. ‘It’s him!’ she thought with


    fury.


    Lucas quickly pulled Corinne back into the suite and mmed the door shut. He did it so fast that


    neither Sophia nor Jeremy saw anything. All Sophia heard was the sound of the door shutting, but


    when she looked up, she only saw a tightly shut door.


    “Zachary, did you hear somebodying out of the suite opposite ours just now?” she asked with


    confusion.


    Jeremy looked at the door and shook his head. “No.”


    Sophia assumed she was just imagining things. “That’s weird. I could’ve sworn I heard somebody


    closing the door. I even felt the whoosh of wind…”


    “It’s got nothing to do with us. Let’s go.”


    The doubt vanished from Sophia’s face. She shook her head to clear her mind and said, “Okay.


    Benjamin, help Mommy close the door. Let’s go take Daddy out for a stroll.”


    …


    Meanwhile, in the other suite, Lucas was holding Corinne tightly with one hand over her mouth to stop


    her from rushing out or making a sound. The worst that could happen then was having an all-out


    confrontation with Sophia.


    Corinne’s eyes reddened with anger. She bit down hard on Lucas’ hand.


    As much as it hurt him, he still did not let go.


    Sunny did not see anything outside, so he did not know what happened. “What’s going on, Lucas?” he


    asked curiously.


    Lucas threw him a warning re to make him shut up.


    A chill ran up Sunny’s spine and he dared not ask any more questions.


    Lucas only let Corinne go after making sure Sophia and Jeremy had gotten into the lift.


    Corinne immediately rushed out of the suite, but the hotel corridor was empty by then. She instinctively


    chased after them, but Lucas grabbed her by the arm again.

    “Calm down, Corinne!”


    Corinne paused in her tracks and turned around to look at him with both fury and disappointment. She


    flung his hand away.


    “You knew he was in that suite with Sophia, yet you chose not to tell me?”


    Lucas frowned. “I wasn’t going to hide it from you forever. I was waiting for a better time to tell you.”


    Corinne scoffed. “Better time, you say? You know I’ve been looking for him for three years, so what’s a


    better time? Three yearster?”
