Corinne smirked. "If you care about your father so much, why are you here instead of the hospital looking after him?"
Sunny crossed his arms. "Well, it's lunchtime, isn't it? Lucas is looking after him right now, so I came out to have lunch with Xante. By the way, Corinne, can you come with me to the hospital to visit Dad later?"
"No. He's your father, not mine," replied Corinne coldly.
Sunny pouted. "Corinne, you should cut him so slack at his age. Can't you find some kindness in your heart to make him happy?"
Corinne laughed. "I'd rather use my kindness on strays. Why should I care about a man who has never suffered a day in his life?"
Sunny was speechless.
After Annie finished chewing her food, she quickly interjected, "Don't even think about tricking Corinne to go to the hospital with you. Didn't you hear she's going to the bridal shop to pick out my wedding dress with me later?"
Sunny gave her a side-eye. He could not be bothered to argue with her as he was worrying about what to say to his father later.
…
After lunch, they went to the most high-end bridal shop in the city. There was not enough time for Annie to do a custom-made wedding dress since the wedding was two days later, so she could only pick a ready-made wedding dress and have it altered to her size.
There were wedding dresses as far as the eyes could see in the shop. Annie wished she could clone herself so that she could try every one of them.
"Corinne, what style do you think suits me back? I like all of them. The one with the long train, the one with the mermaid style, and the one with the bustle…"
Annie clung to Corinne's arm as she struggled to choose one.
Xante narrowed her eyes on Annie. "If you were me, would you marry that silly boy?"
Annie stroked her chin and said, "Hmm… I think I would if I liked him. Heck, I'm even marrying a player like Aaron, so why wouldn't I marry someone loyal like Sunny?"
"You're right," replied Xante. She suddenly found Sunny more bearable after comparing him to Aaron.
"Hey, are you two gossiping about me again?" Aaron popped up from behind Annie as he wrapped his arms around her.
Annie chuckled awkwardly. "Of… Of course not! We were talking about Sunny."
"Is that so?" Aaron rested his chin on Annie's shoulder and rubbed his cheek against hers. "But why did I hear my name? I'm very sensitive to you calling my name, so there's no way I heard wrong."
