The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1681

The sound of a phone ringing brought Maxwell back to the present. He looked at Sunny, who goofily blushed and smiled at his phone.

"Who's texting you?" he asked.

Sunny snapped out of his thoughts and stood up. "Ahem! I'm going out for a while to call a friend, Dad. I'll come back later to tell you more about Corinne."

After that, he did not even wait for Maxwell's response before striding out of the room with his phone in his hand.

Maxwell had his fair share of such experience, and he knew it was a woman.

'Even Sunny has a girlfriend, yet Lucas is still living his life like a monk. That boy is already thirty years old, and I've never ever seen him with a woman before… Maybe it's because of what happened to me and his mom that he doesn't believe in love,' thought Maxwell with a sigh.

…

Sunny left the ward, asked the bodyguard at the door to keep a close eye on Maxwell, and walked to a quiet place to make a phone call.

It was Xante who texted, asking how his father was doing. Sunny was, of course, elated to receive her text as it meant she missed and cared about him.

Xante picked up his call very quickly. "Hello?"

"Xante! I miss you so much!" chirped Sunny.

Xante wanted to ask if his father was alright, but she immediately fell silent when she heard that. Based on his demeanor, Maxwell was probably doing well.

Not getting a response from her, Sunny said again, "Say something, Xante!"

Xante adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses. "What do you want me to say?"

Sunny chuckled and said, "Say you miss me, too."

"Central Hospital."

"Okay, wait for me there."

Sunny still wanted to say something, but Xante had ended the call.

'Man, she sure hung up in a hurry. Is she that much in a rush to see me? That means she really cares about me, right?' thought Sunny.

He was more used to being ignored by Xante, so that was certainly a pleasant surprise. As happy as he was that she was going to visit him, he still needed to prepare himself. Otherwise, Xante would surely get angry if she found out he was lying.

Thus, Sunny quickly rushed to the nurse station and begged the nurse to bandage his arm. He even borrowed some merbromin to apply to the bandage to make it look more believable.

'Xante will definitely feel sorry for me if she sees how hurt I am! Hahaha!' thought Sunny.
