The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1499

"Sir! Sophia left!" Edmund finally reported to Lucas. Through the peephole, he saw the door opposite them open as a nearly-dressed Sophia carried her handbag and left the room.

It was slightly earlier than the appointed time, so he narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll go talk with that good-for-nothing a-hole. Tell someone to stand guard outside, and let me know if she returns unexpectedly."

Edmund nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes, sir."

Lucas opened the door and made sure Sophia was no longer in the corridor. He then swiftly moved forward and knocked on the door across from him.

After approximately a minute, the suite's door opened.

Just like the previous day, Lucas had to lower his gaze to see Zachary seated in a wheelchair.

Zachary looked up at him, and his calm gaze seemed unsurprised at Lucas's early visit. "You're here."

Lucas immediately sought confirmation, "That woman won't be returning anytime soon, right?"

Zachary nodded. "Come on in."

Lucas entered the suite upon Zachary's invitation. The layout of the suite was nearly identical to the one across from it.

Zachary raised his chin slightly to gesture toward the sofa. "Have a seat. I'll get you something to drink."

Lucas raised his hand and replied, "No thanks. I'm not here to get a drink."

Zachary had an indifferent expression. He provided whatever information he knew and said, "It's because of the amnesia that my life experiences and memories are all recounted to me by other people."

Lucas scrutinized Zachary's face as if trying to discern if the latter was being truthful. He could not find any trace of guilt, so Lucas questioned again, "How did the child next to you come to be? Don't you remember anything about him?"

Zachary replied, "No. I was told that Benjamin is the child I fathered with Sophia. He's been around for as long as I can remember."

Lucas was seething with hatred and resentment as he remembered all that Corinne suffered over the years. He clenched his fists and said, "How convenient. You've forgotten everything, and you're living a very carefree life now! Allow me to enlighten you then. That child was taken from Corinne in the delivery room under the pretext that you were her husband!"

Zachary appeared taken aback, and a trace of doubt crept into his expression. "Corinne? Are you saying that I was married to a woman named Corinne?"

Lucas wanted to nod, but could Jeremy and Corinne be considered husband and wife when there had not been any marriage license between his sister and that ungrateful man?
