The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1317

“Where’s Corinne? Didn’t she come back at all when she heard the news?” asked Sophia tearfully.

Francine’s eyes glinted threateningly at the mention of Corinne. “You better not tell her about this! Grandma says

the baby Corinne is carrying is the only living bloodline of Jeremy’s. We can’t let anything happen to her or the

baby!”

Sophia wiped away her tears and nodded. “Your grandmother is right. Hey, Francine…I don’t think I’ll visit your

grandparents; I don’t think I can stop crying if I do. Can you please tell them I’ll get my dad to look into the matter,

too? No matter what, we must avenge Jeremy!”

After that, she wiped away her tears again and left the mansion to do some scheming. As soon as she got into her

car, she crossed her legs and made a call.

“Find out where Corinne is right now. I expect an answer within ten minutes!” barked Sophia to the person on the

other end of the call.

…

Corinne was eating her lunch absent-mindedly when Sunny got home. She was hungry, but everything tasted bland

to her.

“Oh, hey. You’re just eating lunch now?” asked Sunny as he walked over and glanced at what Corinne was eating,

which was a balanced meal prepared by the nutritionist Lucas hired.

Corinne snapped back to the present. She looked sideways at Sunny. “You’re back.”

Sunny nodded and sat across from her. “Don’t mind me. You should eat your food while it’s still hot.”

Corinne absent-mindedly took a bite of the steak but then noticed Sunny was frowning as though he had something

on his mind.

“What are you thinking about? Did you get the cold shoulder from Xante again?” she asked with a raised eyebrow.

Sunny rubbed his chin in a vexed manner. “Something is off about Xante today. I can’t help but think she’s hiding

something from me. Now that I think about it, Lucas has been acting weird for the past two days, too. I mean, why

would he suddenly give me a day off from school?”

Corinne did not notice nor did she care whether anyone was acting weird. She gave up trying to finish her lunch and

picked up her phone to watch short videos instead. As she was scrolling, she came across a piece of news about an

explosion in an abandoned factory. Of course, she was not interested in it, so she scrolled away.

At that moment, Benson walked in and reported, “Miss Corinne, Mister Sunny, there’s a guest outside.”

“A guest? Who?” asked Sunny.

Benson shook his head. “I’ve never met her before, but she said she’s come to visit Miss Corinne. She gave the

name Sophia.”

Corinne raised an eyebrow. ‘Why would Sophia visit me?’

Sunny suddenly remembered Xante’s warning this afternoon, telling him to keep outside news from reaching

Corinne to save her from unnecessary provocation.

‘I can’t let Sophia meet Corinne! She’s the reason Corinne and Jeremy have a misunderstanding!’ thought Sunny. ‘I

don’t care why she came to visit her, but her very presence would stress Corinne!’

Sunny quickly thought of an idea, which was a rare thing.

“Sophia who? We don’t know any Sophia! Don’t let her in. Ask her to go back wherever she came from!” ordered

Sunny.
