Chapter 734
Lucas’ head started to throb with a painful headache. He could not believe how irresponsible Anya was being. He
pinched the space between his brows and said, “I don’t care what you’re doing here. You’re to go home this
instant!”
Anya could tell Lucas was being serious. She nodded docilely as she walked up to him. “Lucas, I know I shouldn’t
have left Joey alone and come here… I promise I’ll spend some time with him. once I’m home. Let us go back now,
Lucas.”
Lucas remained seated where he was. “Edmund is outside. He’ll give you a ride home.”
Anya was shocked and hurt at the same time. “Lucas, aren’t you going to go home with me?” “I still have some
unfinished business here so you go home first.”

discovered that opposite him was… Corinne! ‘Did he come here to find Corinne?’
The more she thought about it, the more the whole thing seemed off to her. “I don’t mind waiting for you to finish
your business here, Lucas. I’d rather wait so that we can go home together.”
“You don’t need to do that. Just go home now. Besides, I’ll be going straight to work after this,
said Lucas impatiently.
At that moment, Anya could not come up with any more excuse to stay behind even though she really wanted to
hear what Lucas had to say to Corinne so she simply said, “Fine… I’ll make a move first.”
Before she left, she looked at Francine pointedly. Seeing this, Francine was first shocked but then realization dawned
on her. “Anya, Wait for me. I’m coming with you!”
Anya was speechless and a corner of her mouth started twitching. “That silly girl! Why is she coming with me? I
want her to stay and eavesdrop on Lucas and Corinne… Gah! What an idiot!’
Francine had no idea that she had gotten the wrong message. She linked arms with Anya and the two of them
walked out of the mansion. “Anya, what’s the matter with Lucas today? I thought he came to bring you home…
No?” whispered Francine.
Anya secretly rolled her eyes before laughing fakely. “Beats me… Maybe there’s something he needs to tell
Corinne.”
Francine gave Anya’s answer some thought when inspiration suddenly struck her. “Oh, I know! Your brother must’ve
come here to put pressure on Corinne to leave my brother so that you can get him back!”
Anya mulled over the possibility of that happening and came to the conclusion that it was wholly possible since
Lucas had always worried about her prospect of marriage. ‘Yes, he must have come here to pressure Corinne into
giving Jeremy back to me.’

After Anya and Francine had left, Bowen and the other servants had the self-awareness to leave the dining room
too so that Corinne and Lucas could talk in private.
Lucas quietly looked at Corinne who was still focused on eating her oatmeal. “How’s the taste? Do you like it?” he
asked gently.
Corinne nodded happily and said, “Yup! This is super delicious.”
Happy to receive praise from Corinne, Lucas smiled and said, “Seems like your favorite food hasn’t changed from
when you were little.”
Corinne was slightly taken back by what he said. She looked up at him and calmly said, ” Really? I have no
recollection of ever eating this though.”
A frown appeared on Lucas’ forehead for a second. “Don’t you find it weird that I know what your favorite food was
when you were little?”
Corinne smiled and said, “I do find it weird. So are you going to tell me how you know?”
After a few seconds of silence, Lucas solemnly said, “Corinne Carew, you’re actually my long- lost sister and your
name is Luna Rivera.”
Corinne calmly ate another spoonful of oatmeal before saying, “I know.”
