“Mister Lucas, you’re still awake?” asked Aaron with a smile.

Lucas looked up the stairs to make sure Corinne was out of earshot before turning his attention to Aaron. “Don’t tell Corinne anything about Adam,” he warned sternly.

Aaron was a little taken aback. “Why not?”

“You don’t need to look into Adam to know what kind of person he is. How do you think Corinne would react if you told her about all the horrible things he did before? She might not say it, but we all know she’s very worried about Jeremy. So, for her and the baby’s sake, just keep your mouth shut about Adam. The less she knows, the better.”

Aaron smiled. “Oh wow, I didn’t know you cared about the boss so much. After all, it wasn’t that long when you repeatedly hurt her because of Miss Anya. I find it hard to believe you’re the same person as you were back then.”

Lucas instantly felt guilty when Aaron brought up his past. He could, of course, tell he was mocking him. However, he did not get angry as he felt like he deserved it. He would not even get angry at Aaron if he cussed him out for being a b*stard.

Corinne still had not forgiven him or accepted him as her brother.
