The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 811

Lucas nearly called Corinne 'Luna' again but quickly stopped since he did not want to anger Corinne any further. "Ahem! I'll get you when it's dinner time, Corinne."

Corinne decided to take him up on his offer. "Very well, then. Thank you. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to rest. Can you please go out?"

Lucas stared at her before he turned and walked out of the door, closing the door with the broken music box still in his hand. As soon as he was outside, he instantly noticed Anya acting suspiciously not far off.

Frowning, he walked over and asked, "Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be taking care of Joey?"

Anya started to panic when she saw Lucas walking over to her. Unable to hide, she had no choice but to explain, "Lucas, I was worried you'd blow up at Corinne for breaking the music box, so I decided to stay and—"

Lucas' face darkened. "I won't blow up at her, so stop worrying about other people and go look after Joey!"

Anya frowned. "Why did you come out alone? Where's Corinne?"

"She's tired, so she's resting inside the room for a while. Don't you dare bother her, okay?"

Anya's eyes widened in shock, and she could not keep the emotion out of her voice. "You're letting her rest in Luna's room? I thought you hated nothing more than for other people to touch her stuff!"

Lucas frowned, and after two seconds of silence, he said, "She's Grandpa's savior, so she deserves to get the best hospitality from us. She has the right to rest in any of the rooms."

Lucas' explanation did not seem to convince Anya. 'There's something off about the two of them…' she thought.

Anya stayed rooted in shock as she watched Lucas leave dubiously. 'What the heck is going on? What could've happened for Lucas to have such a drastic change in attitude toward Corinne in just a few days?'

After thinking about it, Anya decided to interrogate Corinne. However, Edmund stopped her.

"Miss Anya, Miss Corinne is resting inside, so you're not allowed to go in."

Anya pulled out her signature move. "Edmund, I just wanted to make sure she's alright. I promise I won't bother her…" she said in a soft, cutesy manner.

"You've heard what Mister Lucas said just now, so please don't make my job any harder than it already is," said Edmund objectively.
