"Okay, thanks. I''ll go see them now," said Corinne.
She walked out the door with Francine naturally following behind her.
Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose before walking out after them.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
As soon as Corinne came out, she saw the kids having Sunny surrounded and asking him for chips.
''Sunny must''ve bought them a lot of junk food on the way,'' thought Corinne.
"Alright, hand them over! The kids aren''t allowed to have too many chips," said Corinne.
Hearing her voice, the kids immediately turned and shouted in unison, "Mommy!"
Corinne walked up to the kids and knocked them each on the head. "Have you all forgotten what Mommy told you? You can''t have any junk food without asking me first!" The kids immediately lowered their heads in shame and pouted.
Feeling sorry for them, Sunny walked up to Corinne with the pack of chips still in his hand and said, "Corinne, you''re scaring them. Do you have to be so strict with them when they''re having fun outside? Plus, it''s not like they eat junk food all the time, so what''s wrong with them eating it now?"
Corinne red at Sunny. "I''m scaring them? I''m their mother, so how can I scare them? As for you, you shouldn''t have bought so much junk food for them! What if they get a tummy ache from eating all that junk food? It''s not like you''ll be the one taking care of them if that happens!"
"Corinne, I bought all of this junk food from the supermarket, and they''re not poisonous. Why will they get a tummy ache from eating them? As their uncle, I promise you that I''ll take care of them if they get a tummy ache from eating junk food. Won''t you please give them a break and let them eat or y whatever they want just for the day?"
The kids were grateful to Sunny for speaking up for them, and they fervently hoped that Corinne would agree. They tugged her clothes and looked up at her with big sad puppy eyes.
Corinne, of course, did not agree. She did not want them to get sick after all.
She was just thinking about how to let the kids down gently when Lucas suddenly asked, "Ahem! What are you doing here, Sunny?"
"Lucas?!" Sunny was first stunned, then quickly hid behind Corinne as though he had just seen a ghost. "When... When did you get here, Lucas?"
Lucas narrowed his eyes in displeasure and said instead, "You don''t seem like you wee me here."
Sunnyughed awkwardly. "Hahaha, of course not! I was just surprised to see you here. That''s all." After that, he poked Corinne in mock anger. "Corinne, how could you not tell me Lucas is here, too? It would''ve saved me from being startled."
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. "You haven''t done anything wrong, so why are you so afraid of him?"
Sunny was speechless. ''She''s right. I haven''t done anything wrong...''
However, he was afraid that Lucas would stop him from seeing Xante, and this would make Xante unhappy.
When the kids saw Lucas, they ran up to him and hugged his legs happily.
