The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1871

Jeremy silently sped up the car.

Lucas and Sunny silently sat in the back seat. They were both surprised and impressed by Corinne's computer skills as she pinpointed the location of a phone number in such a short time.

Sunny was particularly interested in hacking and network systems, so he was taken aback when he saw what was on Corinne's laptop screen.

"Holy sh*t, Corinne! Y… You're Jade Rabbit?"

Corinne did not have time to entertain Sunny. Instead, she shot him a glare and said, "Just sit tight and keep quiet."

Sunny pouted and settled back into his seat in resignation, though his admiration for Corinne quietly grew.

'Good grief, my idol has been Corinne all this time!' Sunny marveled in disbelief.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of New Capital City.

The middle-aged balloon seller wrapped up a call from his former boss. He tucked his phone away and swatted at the pesky mosquitoes.

Anya stepped out of the cave, eyeing him suspiciously. "Who were you talking to?"

The balloon seller grinned. "Don't worry, I was just talking on the phone."

The balloon seller was, at this point, tired and not up for a change of location.

"Anya, you're overthinking this! Who's going to find us so quickly in the middle of nowhere? Plus, it's the middle of the night, so where can we go? Just carrying that kid up the mountain today wore me out. I can't move any farther!"

"We have to move, even if you can't! You fool, don't you know they're on to us right now?"

The balloon seller was sure Anya was overreacting. "Who's on to us?"

"You idiot! Why would our former boss call you at this hour for wages? The restaurant should be closed by now! Plus, today isn't even payday. Are you dumb? Someone must've tracked me down to that restaurant!"
