The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 789

'Oh that's right. Corinne taught me a formula at Lucas' office last time. Yes, this all makes sense now,' thought Sunny. It was like he saw the answer revealed before his eyes. However, not wanting to let Corinne know she won, he simply muttered, "Hmph! I don't need you to teach me."

Corinne did not mind his attitude. She put down the pen and said, "I'm going to the bathroom, and if you still haven't figured out the answer after I come back… Well, don't blame me for laughing at you then, Mister Sunny."

After that, she went into the attached bathroom in Sunny's room.

Sunny scoffed at the closed bathroom door one last time before turning his attention back to the math question. He tried to solve it by using the formula Corinne taught him last time when—

Knock! Knock! Someone knocked twice on his door.

A chill immediately ran up Sunny's spine as he thought it was Lucas who came to check on his homework.

"Sunny, are you in there?"

Sunny breathed a sigh of relief when he recognized the voice to be his mother's.

"Yes, Mom. Come in. I'm just doing my homework."

Phoebe opened the door and walked in. "Sunny, why haven't you finished doing your homework?"

Sunny scratched his head. "The homework Lucas gave me today is a little hard…so that's why it's taking me so long."

"What are you passionate about? You mean all those computer games you spend your whole day playing? Sunny, when are you going to make me stop worrying about you? Don't you know that we'll be chased out of the family once your dad is gone? And the only way to prevent that from happening is to take over the family business!"

"Mom, Lucas would never do something like that. If he's wary about me, he wouldn't have spent all his time trying to get me to study or put me to such a high standard!"

Phoebe frowned. "Speaking of this… Don't you find it weird that your academic score hasn't improved at all, even though Lucas has been tutoring you all these years? There's a chance he's been purposely teaching you the wrong thing… I mean, how else can you explain why you can't even get into the lesser-known college?"

"Umm… I don't think Lucas is the problem," said Sunny with shame. "It's all my fault. You just have to accept the fact that your son is stupid."

Phoebe nearly blew her top at this useless son of hers. "Sunny, think about it. You and Lucas didn't come from the same mother, so how sincere do you think he can be with you? You should know the only people in the world you can trust are me and Anya. Only we will want what's best for you, so you have to listen to us!"
