The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1291

Nellie Nymphaea's name took Lucas by surprise. He sighed and asked, "And? Did you see it?"

Corinne shook her head. "I didn't. Jeremy bought that painting early on and deliberately refused to show it to me."

"So, what is it you want to do?" Lucas raised his eyebrows.

Corinne answered bluntly, "I want you to help me buy that painting back from Jeremy at all costs! I'll pay for it."

Lucas narrowed his eyes. "Money isn't a problem. Getting it from him is. He bought the painting on purpose because he knew you wanted it. He's not going to give it up that easily."

Corinne cocked her eyebrow and asked, "Are you saying it can't be done?"

Lucas reached out and patted Corinne's head gently. "It won't be easy, but I'll get it for you even if it means risking my life. I won't be able to get it that soon, though, so you'll have to wait. Is that alright with you?"

Corinne nodded. "That's fine as long as I can get her self-portrait."

Lucas had a heartbroken expression as he looked at his sister. "Are you that eager to see your mother?"

"Of course." Corinne glanced at him. "Don't you want to?"

Lucas sighed. "I do. Missing those who aren't around anymore shows empathy, but we can't let our feelings take over our lives. It's exhausting. I hope you can move on..."

Lucas knew Corinne did not want other people to know her true identity, but Sunny had somehow overheard their conversation. Having gone to great lengths to persuade Corinne to stay, he was worried Corinne would change her mind after Sunny found out.

Sunny continued to press further despite being interrupted. He did not dare to talk to Lucas anymore, so he looked at Corinne in surprise. "Now I get it... I always felt a special connection with you! You're Luna, my half-sister whom Lucas has been searching for many years..."

Corinne frowned, obviously a little frustrated by how everything turned out.

Lucas dragged Sunny to one side to keep from babbling on about it. He turned to the maid who was standing beside him and said, "Bring Miss Corinne to rest in the other room. Make sure her bed is made and the toiletries are all prepared."

The maids nodded. "Yes, sir! Please come with us, Miss Corinne."
