The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1376

"Don't worry. Corinne is my sister, so I'll definitely look after her even without you telling me to. I'm not going to let anything happen to her," said Lucas coldly.

"Thanks. Appreciate it," said Jeremy.

"When do you plan to fly there?"

"Tonight."

"Ahem! How about dinner together before you go?"

Jeremy was baffled by the invitation. "I thought she didn't want me anywhere near the mansion?"

"Of course she doesn't. She's too good for a lying sc*mbag like you. But there's no guarantee you won't be locked up by Adam once you leave, so tonight might be your last moment together with Corinne. I just don't want her to have any regrets when it comes to you. So, swing by for dinner tonight before you fly off."

Lucas wished Corinne could marry a man with a simple background if given a choice. She could live her life peacefully, at least. Jeremy obviously was not the best choice he had in mind for her.

While it was true Jeremy had both power and wealth, he came from a very complicated background. In other words, Corinne could never live a day in peace the moment she decided to be with him.

However, after seeing how Corinne risked her and the baby's lives to look for Jeremy and to avenge him last night, it hit Lucas just how much she cared about Jeremy. It could be said that Corinne would not be able to let go of Jeremy that easily.

Consequently, Lucas knew Corinne would go to Jeremy's rescue should anything happen to him in Molomia. In a way, Corinne's safety was tied very closely to Jeremy's. Thus, being good to Jeremy meant that Lucas was also being good to Corinne.

Corinne could go into labor at any moment, so Lucas could not afford to let her go through any shock anymore. It was best for Jeremy to meet with Corinne so he could tell her where he was going. That way, she would not worry or overthink too much.

Even though Lucas could have said what he said in a nicer way, Jeremy decided to look past his rudeness and focus on the good.

"Your worries are unfounded, but thanks anyway."

Lucas chuckled drily. "Tonight's different. We'll be eating out."

"Where?" asked Corinne skeptically.

"Just get ready before dinner time. I'll pick you and Sunny up after work."

"Fine…"

After he hung up the phone, Lucas saw a text message from Jeremy, telling him the time and location along with a simple text. [I'll arrange everything tonight. You just need to bring her there.]

…

At 7 p.m., dressed in a pale yellow maternity dress with a scalloped edge, Corinne tied her hair up in a bun and went out with Lucas.
