The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 796

Corinne turned and saw through the gap in the door that Benson was standing respectfully at the entrance.

When she came back, she deliberately left the door ajar to avoid arousing any suspicion. Although Sunny might be young, he was still a member of the opposite gender. The Rivera household was a place where one must always remain tactful, especially since Anya was around and might try to cause trouble at any time. Being cautious would go a long way in saving her from all the headaches that might come with any trouble.

Corinne walked over, opened the door, and said politely to Benson, "Well, Sunny here had a question that he needed my help to explain."

Sunny snorted and muttered, "When did I ask you for help?"

Benson smiled respectfully and said, "I see. Apologies if he's caused you any trouble! Lunch is ready, by the way, and the cookies Madam Beatrice has specially baked for you are ready too. She sent me to invite you over for lunch with her."

Corinne nodded. "Sure, I'll be there soon."

Sunny placed his pen down and said, "I want to try the cookies grandma baked, too!"

Corinne turned and looked sternly at him. "You're not going anywhere until you finish your homework."

Sunny was never going to obey her. He stood up, walked out with a swagger, and said, "You're not the boss of me! This is my home, and I can do whatever I want!"

Instead of arguing with him, Corinne took out her phone calmly. "Hello, Mister Lucas, I'm—"

Sunny immediately turned back in fear and ended the call. "Okay, okay! I'll stay here and do my homework, alright?"

By contrast, the dining table and the dining hall were both too huge, making it difficult for a conversation to be held while enjoying some good food. It was a much more solemn area compared to the tea room, thus making it more appropriate to entertain guests during dinner.

Beatrice helped Corinne to some food. "Our lunch will be a little on the simpler side this afternoon, Corinne. Cedric will instruct the chefs to prepare your special dinner feast later."

Corinne said politely, "Thank you, Grandma Beatrice. Our lunch is already exquisite and so wonderfully prepared! There's no need for such a grand feast at dinnertime. I'm more than happy to go with your family's daily routines. I can't possibly let you go to such lengths for me."

"Corinne," Cedric said, "you deserve it because you're my savior. Don't be shy. Go ahead and have your fill."

Corinne could only purse her lips and smiled. She knew it was useless to protest, so she kept quiet and continued eating.
