Chapter 1497
Corinne chuckled. "So, what brings you here so early in the morning?"
Sunny shrugged. ' Nothing much! Didn't we decide that I could come visit you at the
Holdens' today? My jet lag hasn't worn off yet, and I couldn't sleep at all last night. I'm
feeling a little tired if I'm honest, but it's going to feel like hell if I get some sleep. I thought
I might as well come here a little earlier to see you. Then we could pick up the children
together after you're done with work. It's been ages since I last saw my nephews and
niece!"
Corinne glanced at him and asked, "How are you so free? Doesn't Lucas plan to have you
work at the company?"
Sunny frowned and replied, "He wants to arrange something for me at the company, but I
need a little time to adapt and rest after returning to the country!"
Corinne concurred, so she sat and picked up the full cup of coffee. She took a sip and

yesterday. Why were you with Xante?"
Sunny had a flash of mixed emotions when Xante's name was mentioned. He leaned back
casually on the sofa. "I didn't look for her. I happened to run into her at a business event
yesterday, so we caught up with each other and talked about old times."
"'Old times', huh?" Corinne narrowed her eyes. "Is it what I think it is?"
Sunny would have blushed in the past, but he was no longer the same man he was three
years ago. In apparent indifference, he answered, "Is it wrong for adults to reminisce about
old times? You shouldn't try to tell me or Xante what to do. We're all adults now. We can
take responsibility for our actions."
Corinne observed Sunny and sensed he had changed quite a bit from before. She sipped
her coffee and mused, "Don't you think you should take your relationships more
seriously?"
Sunny quipped, "Will being serious lead to a better outcome? You were serious about
Jeremy, but you still ended up raising the kids on your own."
Corinne's hand that held the coffee cup froze, and her expression darkened.
Sunny immediately realized he had misspoken and immediately sat up to correct himself.
"Wait, Corinne! I wasn't implying that Jeremy left you and ran away!"
Corinne remained silent.
Sunny felt that his explanation was only making things worse. He scratched his head and
said, "Ugh, I guess I should stop talking now."
Corinne snapped back to her senses and sported a smile. "You're right, though! Maybe I
missed a lot of opportunities to spend time with him because I was too serious. I had been
focused solely on the result. We should live in the present and be content with what we
have at the moment. This is something I ought to learn from you."
Sunny felt uneasy, believing that Corinne was forcing a smile. However, he did not notice
anything that gave it away.
"I swear I never meant to hurt your feelings, Corinne," he insisted.

Corinne's smile came from her heart, and so did her remark. She did not feel that Jeremy
had abandoned her or ran away from her, but she did regret that her seriousness and
pettiness had led her to keep a distance from him. Had she been less focused on the
result and more on the moments she had with him, she might have been able to make
more memories with him. 1
Instead, she found that her memories with Jeremy were scant whenever she thought
about him every night. Her mind seemed to breeze through the
few moments she spent with him, and all that was left for her after that was an emptiness
filled with intense yearning.
Perhaps her nights would be less lonely if she had more memories to reminisce about.
Corinne snapped back to the present and added, "I have a meeting later. Go pass the time
at a nearby mall."
