"You think you''re so grown-up now," said Lucas with a scoff.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    Sunny might be showing a brave front, but he was, in fact, very nervous and afraid that Lucas would teach him a lesson.


    Although Lucas was displeased, he did not get angry. He only said, "Sunny, I know you think you''re an adult now. But you shouldn''t jump into marriage just because you see others getting married."


    "I''m not getting married because of that!" said Sunny seriously. "I''ve already thought about it for three years! I kept thinking about how I could get Xante to marry me. So please, Lucas, let me get engaged first.'' Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "I''m just your brother, not your parents. You should talk to Dad and our grandparents about this. If they can agree, I won''t have any objections either." Sunny breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as you agree, the matter is as good as settled. Thanks, Lucas!"


    Lucas was speechless. He decided to pass the problem to their father and grandparents as he really could not bring himself to care about it anymore.


    As soon as Sunny turned, he saw Xante walking out of the kitchen with three water bottles. He stepped forward quickly and said seriously, "Xante, my brother has agreed to us getting married." Xante''s expression remained impassive, but if one listened closely, one could hear her sighing helplessly.


    She ignored him and put three water bottles on the coffee table. "Boss, I filled these with boiled water so it''s safe for the kids to drink."


    Corinne nodded slightly and looked at her.


    Xante was ufortable with all the attention everyone was giving her, so she turned and went back to her room.


    Sunny followed her and was almost locked out. Fortunately, he had the foresight to sneak in.


    Corinne''s eyes shed with concern. After thinking about it, she turned to Lucas and said, "Mister Lucas, you seem like you don''t want Xante to be your sister-inw."


    "It''s not that I don''t want that to happen. After all, Miss Xante is talented in every aspect. But I don''t think Sunny is worthy of her. In other words, I don''t think they''repatible," said Lucas diplomatically. Corinne raised an eyebrow and scoffed. "Oh, please. Why don''t you just be honest and say you don''t like how Xante is much older than Sunny? As if age has anything to do with howpatible two people are!"


    Lucas could tell Corinne was angry for Xante''s sake, so he said helplessly, "Corinne, even if I don''t have any objections, do you really feelfortable letting Xante marry a kid like Sunny? That kid doesn''t even know what life is all about, so how can you expect him to take care of Xante?"


    Naturally, Corinne would want to choose a man who was mature and caring for Xante if she had a choice, but it was not really up to her. Although Xante always acted indifferent toward Sunny, Corinne could tel that she really liked him.


    "Mister Lucas, you''re not getting any younger yourself, but can you really say that you understand what life is all about?" "Umm..."


    Corinne smirked. "That''s right. No one in this whole world knows what life is all about. I thought I knew in the past, but my life is just as chaotic as ever. Mister Lucas, we can actually learn a thing or two from Sunny. His love for Xante is pure, and he goes for what he wants without hesitation. He doesn''t think about losing or winning, and we both know how rare that is in this time and age. We should be encouraging him instead of judging him with our outdated values."
