The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1865

The living room light was still on as Lucas sat on the sofa and sighed. He lit a cigarette and asked the servants to have an early night. He wanted to be alone for a while.

Wisps of smoke rose from the burnt end of the cigarette, but Lucas only took a few puffs. He was lost in thought.

Suddenly, a strong light shone through the French window and into his eyes. It was the headlights of a car.

'Who'd come at this hour?' thought Lucas irritatedly as he saw the car stopping at the main gate.

When he flicked the cigarette ashes, his phone on the table rang. His eyes immediately lit up after glancing absent-mindedly at the caller ID.

He quickly picked up the phone and answered, "Hey, Corinne. What's wrong? What can I do for you?"

"Open the gate!" said Corinne from the other end.

"Oh, that's you out there?" questioned Lucas with a raise of an eyebrow. "Hold on a sec, I'll get someone to open it for you right away!"

While Lucas was still on the phone, he ran to the yard and asked two servants on duty to open the gate.

When the gate was opened wide, Jeremy stepped on the gas and whizzed in, stopping right before Lucas.

Corinne got out of the car hurriedly and ran toward Lucas. "Where's your sister Anya?"

He had been told that Anya refused to follow orders in the prison and often pretended to be ill to avoid work. Since she was a Rivera, the warden did not dare to lay a finger on her. Instead, the warden sent someone to report her behavior to Lucas and asked for his further instruction.

Lucas made it clear not to make an exception and that the warden should treat her like any other inmate. Only then did she start to behave.

'How did Anya get an early release with her previous performance? And why was I not informed about her early release?' Lucas found the matter even more perplexing by the second.

He then looked at Corinne and said, "Alright, let's go inside for now. Give me a little bit of time to check whether Anya's still in prison or when she was released, and I'll let you know shortly, okay?"

"Hurry up! Joey might not make it!" urged Corinne.
