Corinne could not be bothered to entertain Sunny's protests. She pushed him aside and walked right past him to head downstairs for breakfast.
Sunny huffed when Corinne ignored him and turned to follow her. "Hey! Corinne! When did you know you're my sister?"
As Corinne held the handrail and walked slowly down the stairs, she replied curtly, "I'm not your sister."
Sunny stretched out his hand proudly and supported her. "You are! I heard everything yesterday! You're Luna!"
Corinne did not refuse Sunny assistance, but she narrowed her eyes at him and retorted, "That does not mean I'm your sister."
Sunny frowned. "You are! We have the same father, so you are my sister!"
Once they reached the last step of the stairs, Corinne waved away Sunny's hand and walked toward the restaurant.
Although she did not hate Sunny, she did not want to treat him as a younger brother as he was the spawn of her mother's enemy.
Sunny huffed and chased after her to protest, but his attention was drawn to a tall figure who came out of the kitchen while holding some food.
That person was neither the cook nor the nanny.
Sunny was stunned by what he saw. "Lucas? You cooked all these yourself?"
Lucas ignored him and said gently to Corinne, "Come and have some breakfast!"
Corinne took her seat without any hesitation.
Sunny reacted as if he was marveling at one of the seven wonders of the world. He immediately took out his cell phone and snapped several photos of Lucas wearing an apron.
Corinne acted as if she did not hear that and focused on eating her food.
Sunny felt a pat on his shoulder, followed by Lucas' stern remark, "Keep quiet and eat your breakfast!"
Sunny sat down obediently and looked at his plate. There were two fried eggs along with overcooked bacon and overly dry fish steak. Lucas was bound to have some trouble controlling the heat in the pan as he did not cook that frequently.
Sunny ended up getting the not-so-well-cooked ones!
Although he was speechless when he saw that, the food was still edible. It was far from presentable, but it was not so dry that it became difficult to swallow.
Lucas sat down and had breakfast with them. His plate contained only one egg and some broccoli.
