Chapter 414
Anya had never seen Lucas and Sunny fight like that, so she did not know what to do.
Everyone knew Sunny lived in fear of Lucas. In fact, even if Lucas said one plus one equals three, Sunny would not dare say otherwise. It was unprecedented for Sunny to contradict Lucas like that, and it was all Corinne’s fault.
The onlookers watched excitedly from a distance as the argument unfolded. Anya did not want her family to become a laughingstock, so she tugged on Lucas’ sleeves.
“Lucas, forget it. Sunny’s right. I must’ve misunderstood Corinne’s intention. I’m sure she didn’t mean to kick me, so please don’t fight with Sunny anymore. He’s still at that age when boys are stupid…”
Anya slowly got up and sighed with resignation.
“I’ll go upstairs to talk to Corinne and Jeremy. It’s best if we clear up this misunderstanding as soon as possible.”
She then walked toward the stairs to find Corinne and Jeremy. To be honest, she had long wanted to do that.
Earlier, she pretended to be sick so that Jeremy would stay with her. However, he left without turning back to go upstairs to look for Corinne as soon as Anya got ‘better’.
The thought of Corinne and Jeremy alone in the room made her feel like a boulder that she could not push away was pressing on her chest.
‘Corinne might start undressing because she wants to get out
of her wet clothes… Then, sparks will fly and they’ll start… No! Jeremy is mine. I won’t allow them to do that!’
It was a good thing she had a valid excuse to go check on them.
However, Lucas could not help but frown with worry when he saw his fragile sister walking up the stairs alone. He then turned and glared at that idiot brother of his.
“Sunny, what’s wrong with you? Not only are you bad at your studies but now you’ve teamed up with an outsider to torment your sister?”
Sunny thought that Lucas’ words were a little unfair.
Every time the school bus arrived, Luna would jump down from their mother’s arm and stumble toward him. She looked so cute with her round little belly, and she would never cry when she fell down. In fact, she would just get up, pat the dirt away, continue to run happily toward him, throw herself into his arms, and call out for him in that baby voice of hers.
His life was happy and simple back then. Though it did not last for long, the memories could still warm him up whenever he thought of it.
‘I wonder where Luna is right now… I do hope she and mother are happy.’
Losing his mother and sister would forever be the most
painful thing to Lucas. He hated himself for being too young to help his mother. If not, she would not have left the house
out of disappointment. If not, she would not have disappeared with Luna. If not…
While Lucas was taking a trip down memory lane, the other people had gathered into small groups to gossip about what happened.
