Lucas stared at Corinne for a while before suddenly offering a gentle smile. “It’s nothing. You don’t look too good
today. Did you not sleep well last night?”
“Yeah, I had a few weird dreams.”
Lucas stood up and stroked Corinne’s hair. “You shouldn’t think too much before you go to sleep. You won’t get
weird dreams that way.”
“Sure, whatever,” said Corinne lightly.
After that, Lucas turned to Sunny and said sternly, “Sunny, I’ve informed your school you’ll be taking the day off
today, so you can stay home with Corinne.”
Sunny did a double-take when he heard Lucas. ‘What? Is Lucas being serious? This is the first time he’s ever done
that for me!’ he thought happily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing how happy Sunny was, Lucas reminded him solemnly, “But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to do your
homework. You have to finish them before I come home from work today, okay?”
“Got it,” said Sunny with a nod. ‘Why do I still have to do my homework when I don’t have to go to school? Oh well,
it’s better than having to go to school. I can even sneak out when he’s not home.’
After Lucas left for work, Sunny looked at Corinne admiringly and said, “Corinne, you’re amazing! I can’t believe
Lucas gave me a day off school just because he was worried you’d be bored staying at home alone.
“I heard Lucas used to spoil Luna a lot, and I always wondered to what extent. Does he spoil her more than he
spoils Anya? I see he spoils you even more than Anya! Don’t get me wrong, he was really good to Anya, but only if
she didn’t do anything to test his principles. But the way Lucas treats you is like he has no principles anymore!”
Corinne chuckled wryly. “Hurry and finish your breakfast. You still have a lot of homework to do.”
She did not really care who Lucas spoiled more.
“Umm, Corinne, can I go out later?” he asked earnestly, which was a contrast to his usual haughty attitude. “I
promise to come back within an hour!”
Corinne raised an eyebrow. “You can if you finish your homework.”
Sunny immediately stood up. “Okay! I’ll go do them now!”
After that, he ran up to his room to do his homework.
Corinne noticed the mostly untouched food on his plate and thought how good it was to be young and full of hope
when it came to love.
She could not do that at her age anymore. The most important thing for her to do was to eat well, sleep well, and
basically take care of herself well so that she would be at her best to deliver the baby.
Around 10:30 a.m., Sunny came running down the stairs to show his completed homework to Corinne. “Look! I’ve
finished!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCorinne was sitting on the sofa and scrolling through her phone. She had reminded Jeremy to accept the
transaction when she saw he still had not this morning. However, there was still no response from him.
‘Grr! Why won’t that annoying jerk just accept it?’ thought Corinne.
Corinne snapped back to the present when she heard Sunny talking to her. She took his homework and turned a
few pages to check his work. A few minutes later, she raised her hand and said, “Pen, please.”
Sunny frowned. “What do you need a pen for? This isn’t your homework.”
Corinne pointed to one of the questions in the book. “I’m going to circle all the questions that you did wrong. You’re
not allowed to go out unless you correct all the wrong questions.”
“D*mn it!” Sunny scratched his head out of frustration. Left with no choice, he ran up to his room to get a pen for
Corinne.
Corinne circled 20 wrong questions in Sunny’s book. She asked him to redo the questions right in front of her, and
he had no choice but to do as he was told so he would be allowed to go out.
