The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453

Corinne was too lazy to explain herself. Instead, she asked, “So you’re okay with Anya getting engaged with someone from the Holden family?”

A look of resignation flashed across Lucas’ face, “Considering my family’s stance on this, 1, for one, don’t wish to see them getting married because my elders will rain down their disapproval on me. But, my sister is too stubborn to ever let Jeremy go. It’s as if she’ll die if she’s not with him, and as her brother, it’s my job to protect her and make sure she lives. happily ever after with the man she loves. I’ll never forgive those who wish her harm so I hope you can understand where I’m coming from, Miss Carew.”

Corinne looked quietly at Lucas. Suddenly, she smiled. “Yes, I do understand where you’re coming from. She’s lucky to have a brother like you.”

Lucas could not tell whether she was being sincere in her praise but he did not care one way or another. He did his job in warning her so that if she knew what was good for her, she would stay away from Jeremy. He would not stand by and do nothing if she ever came between Jeremy and Anya again.

The affection he had for Anya was two-fold since the love he had for Luna had nowhere else to go. He would forever regret not being able to protect his mother and Luna fifteen years ago. and thus, he swore to himself that he would protect Anya at all costs.

He especially did not like Corinne for hurting Anya over and over again.

After Corinne came out from behind the bookshelf, she stood in a different spot than when she first came in. At that moment, she was standing beside Lucas’ desk and from that angle, she could see all the things on top of the desk.

She did not mean to spy on other people’s things but as she passed her eyes over the desk, she saw something that made her stop. There was a photo of a woman with bright eyes and a kind smile holding a little girl who looked to be about three or four years old in her arms and standing beside her was a boy who looked to be ten years old. The three of them were smiling happily at the camera.

‘That pretty lady looks so familiar. Could she be my mom? It is her! She has the same eyes, nose, and lips as the woman in my memory.’ She could finally put a face to her mother. No more blurry memories and vague dreams!
