'All these years I've been searching for Luna and she happened to be right under my nose. Oh, how god loves to play around with my life,' thought Lucas.
"That means I, her own brother, had not only wronged her again and again but teamed up with others to hurt her, bully her, pour coffee over her, and even forced her to get rid of the baby inside her belly!" moaned Lucas regretfully.
Edmund just stood there. He was at a complete loss at what to do. "Umm… Mister Lucas, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself since you had no idea Miss Corinne was actually Miss Luna…"
'I'm so glad I finally found her but I won't blame her if she doesn't accept me as her brother… not after all the things I did to her,' thought Lucas. He rested his forehead in his palm and took a deep breath. "Where is Corinne now?"
"She went back with Jeremy and they should be sleeping right now."
Lucas nodded blankly. "I want to see her tomorrow. Make it happen."
"Yes, Mister Lucas."
Lucas looked up at him and said worriedly, "Don't force her to meet with me if she doesn't want to. Make sure you only treat her with the utmost respect."
Edmund nodded. "Don't worry, Mister Lucas. I know what to do."
Lucas pinched the space between his brow before waving tiredly as a way of telling him he could leave the study which was exactly what Edmund did.
'Why, this little rascal never misses a chance to tease me huh!' Jeremy pretended to be angry as he pinched her cheeks. "Why can't you take my gesture as me wanting to be nice to you? I wanted to let you sleep a bit longer since you looked so tired after what we did last night. I didn't dare to move my arm 'cause what if doing so woke you up?"
His words brought back the memory of what they did last night, which immediately made Corinne blushed even more. She sat straight up and said, "Okay, you can take away your arm now that I'm wide awake."
Jeremy sat up too and stretched his arms to warm them up. "Oh, so you're the use-me-and-lose-me kind of girl eh? But I seem to recall how tightly you were gripping me with your legs last night…"
Corinne's face immediately turned as red as a tomato with embarrassment and she could not help but cut in, "Stop right there, Mister!"
