The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1332

Lucas thanked Francine and turned to leave after he saved Sophia's phone number in his phone.

Francine followed after him worriedly. "Wait! I want to go with you to look for Corinne, too!"

Lucas did not stop walking. Instead, it was Sunny who stopped Francine. He raised his arm and said, "Francine, it's best if you stay here with your grandparents. They need you more than ever now. You can rest assured that Lucas will find Corinne."

Francine frowned. "But…"

"Now that Jeremy isn't here, you need to step up to take care of your grandparents. Only then can he rest in peace," said Sunny.

Francine's eyes wavered. "Okay. You're right. I'll stay here. But call me the moment you found Corinne, okay?"

Sunny nodded. "You have my word."

…

Lucas called Sophia as soon as he got into the car.

"Hello, who's this?" asked Sophia breezily, which was a stark contrast to when she was on the phone with Francine.

Lucas got straight into the matter. "Where's Corinne?" he asked coldly.

Sophia was stunned for a moment before saying, "Mister Lucas, I presume? As I've told Francine, I haven't seen Corinne, nor do I know where she is. In fact, how can you question me when you wouldn't even let me see her? Seriously, how the heck would I know where she is?"

Lucas was not as easily fooled as Francine was. "Is your car plate number XX896?"

Sunny shook his head ruefully. "No. We asked Francine just now, but she said Corinne has never been there today."

Xante frowned. "Didn't I tell you not to let the boss know about Mister Jeremy's death until the baby is safely delivered? Why can't you Riveras do something as simple as that? Why did you insist on having her move in with you when you can't even take care of her?"

Sunny dropped his head in shame while Lucas sat silently in his car, lost in thought.

Aaron walked over and patted Xante's shoulder to calm her.

"The most important thing now is to find the boss. If the boss didn't come here, where do you think she would go? In other words, what could be so important to her that she'd risk her baby's life and escape out of the hospital?"

"Needless to say, it must have something to do with Jeremy," said Sunny with a frown.
