The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1054

Xante shook her head. "Nope."

Sunny could not help but feel he was being mocked.

"Hey, you haven't answered my question! What were you two doing in Kanton City? Why did you lure me away from the World Hacker Conference?"

Sunny's voice grew louder, causing Xante to frown and throw him a warning glance.

"Have you forgotten there's a patient here? Corinne needs all the peace she can get to recover! I'm going to ask security to escort you out if you don't stop shouting this instant!"

That effectively silenced Sunny. He looked guiltily at Corinne's tired, pale face. If this had happened in the past, he would have continued shouting, but since his sister and mother were the reason Corinne ended up in the hospital, he thought he should have behaved himself.

"Xante, go back to work," said Corinne with a frown.

"I've already finished all my work. Don't worry, Boss."

Corinne was indeed tired. "You guys can stay here if you want, but please be quiet. I want to sleep for a while."

She then laid back down on the bed, pulled the blanket over her head, and checked her phone for unread messages. There were a few, but none of them was from Jeremy.

Xante did not actually like the word 'besties' since the term did not really encapsulate what she had with Corinne and Aaron. The three of them were more like family than friends.

"Why did you lure me away from the World Hacker Conference? What were you trying to hide from me?" whispered Sunny in a voice that was barely audible.

Xante gave him a side-eye. "Why are you asking this again?"

Sunny was very curious since he had pretty much decided the whole thing was no coincidence. Why did they lure him away? What was Corinne doing in Kanton City? What were they trying to hide from him? These are all the questions he wanted answers to.

"Hey, have you forgotten that I got a brain concussion because of you?" he asked with a frown. "I don't care whether the whole passing out thing was all an act, but strictly speaking, I saved you that time. As your savior, you should show me the respect I deserve and answer all my questions!"
