The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 947

Jeremy would never call Lucas under normal circumstances. The only connection Lucas had with Jeremy was Corinne.

'Did something happen to Corinne?' fretted Lucas. He answered the phone right away.

After listening to what Jeremy had to say to him, Lucas's pupils shrank, and he said firmly, "Understood. I'll be at home today."

When the call was over, Lucas closed his laptop and said to the driver, "Make a U-turn and send me back home."

The driver was a little startled to hear that. He thought he had misheard Lucas, thus he repeated, "Does that mean you're not going to the company today?"

"Yes. Turn the car around and bring me back home."

"Understood."

Lucas ran into Jeremy when he arrived back home. The latter had just dropped Corinne off.

When Lucas saw Jeremy's car, he told the driver to stop at the gate so he could open the door and get off. He immediately walked toward Corinne.

Jeremy had just gotten out of the car with Corinne too. He tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and leaned in to whisper something to her.

Then, he straightened his posture and looked at Lucas, who had just arrived. With a serious expression, he said to Lucas, "Take care of her on my behalf."

Lucas nodded. "I'll take care of her even if you didn't tell me to."

Jeremy said nothing else. He patted Corinne's head and said, "Call me if you need anything."

Corinne looked straight ahead as she said, "I'm here to chat with Anya."

Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly. He was a little surprised that Corinne came to look for Anya.

The relationship between Corinne and Anya had turned tense after what happened the last time around, which begged the question of why she would want to meet Anya.

Before Lucas was able to ask any further questions, they soon arrived at the door of the house. When they entered, they heard Anya's mother—Phoebe—speaking to her in-laws.

"Dad, Mom, haven't you seen the news online? I knew long ago that Corinne isn't a good person, but I can't comment on her because she saved Dad. This recent expose merely confirmed my suspicions! I don't think she saved you by pure coincidence. It had to have been orchestrated!"

Cedric always had a good impression of Corinne. Therefore, he kept an open mind and held a wait-and-see attitude despite reading the rumors floating online.
