Chapter 1506
Corinne was relieved to hear the news.
"Then why did Sophia still ask you to meet her here?” she asked.
A hint of guilt flashed across Lucas' eyes.
How could he bear to tell her that the man she had been waiting for the past three years
was in the suite opposite theirs and that he had forgotten about her? Not to mention, he
was playing happy family with another woman and the baby he stole from her.
He could not. It would be too cruel.
"Oh, it's nothing. She didn't really ask me to meet her here. I just happened to find out
she's staying in this hotel too. Out of curiosity, I wanted to find out who she came back
with, so I made up some excuse to meet her," lied Lucas.
Corinne's eyes turned sharp. "Then did you see if there's anyone else in her suite?" she

Lucas shook his head. "I only saw her with a kid wearing a cartoon mask. There was no
one else."
In truth, Lucas did not see Sophia at all because he was already back in his own suite by
the time she got back.
It was when Sunny was waiting for the lift, so he did not see Lucas coming out either.
Corinne frowned. She did not suspect anything was amiss, but she could not help but feel
disappointed.
After that, she pointed to Sunny and said, "Mister Lucas, it was Sunny who kicked up a
fuss. He said you might've gone astray and asked me to come and save you."
Sunny thought he was off the hook by then, so he tensed up again when Corinne threw
him under the bus.
'Wha...? How could she do this to me? Just my rotten luck; he thought.
He smiled sheepishly. "Lucas, I only asked her to come 'cause I was really worried about
you..."
Lucas looked at him coldly. "More like you have nothing better to do. I was planning on
giving you a few days off since you just got back, but I see there's no need for that now.
You'll start working in the company tomorrow, n
Sunny pouted. "No! I haven't had enough fun. Please give me two more days, Lucas."
"You don't need to come back home anymore if I don't see you at the company tomorrow
morning!" said Lucas sternly.
Sunny accepted his fate. Sighing, he said, "Fine. I'll go. Happy?"
Corinne felt vindicated at Sunny receiving his punishment. She regretted listening to him
and coming to the hotel to 'save' Lucas when she could have used that time on her work.
Lucas turned to her and asked gently, "Since you're here, how about I go with you to pick
up the kids, and then we can all have dinner together?"

Corinne looked at her watch. There was another hour to go before the kids got off school,
so she nodded. "Okay."
The kids quite liked their Uncle Lucas, so she thought they would be happy to see him
later. Also, she would not be able to finish her work even if she went back to the office
then, so she might as well go earlier tomorrow to complete and approve the remaining
contracts.
Sunny put up his hand. "Umm... Can I go, too? It's been a long time since I saw the kids."
Both Lucas and Corinne gave him an annoyed side glance and ignored him.
Sunny scratched his head awkwardly. Even though they both glared at him, he knew he
still had a chance to tag along since they did not outright reject him.
After chatting in the suite for a while more, Corinne thought it was time to pick up the kids
from kindergarten.
Thus, she and Lucas made their way out with Sunny following them sheepishly.
