The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1417

Xante’s expression remained neutral when she saw Sunny. Pushing up her gold-rimmed

glasses, she said, “She’s sleeping right now. Come back later.”

Sunny was not stubborn enough to barge in. Instead, he asked gravely, “Has the baby

been delivered? Is she okay?”

At the thought of the complicated situation at hand, Xante sighed and answered, “She’s

okay, I guess.”

“Oh,” said Sunny. He then went to sit in the hospital corridor to wait for Corinne to wake

up.

Xante was actually surprised by that. ‘Rare to see him cooperate like this. Is this the

Sunny I know?’ she thought.

She stared at him with narrowed eyes for a while before closing the door.

Corinne was awake by the time Xante went back to check on her. Sunny’s knocking on the

door must have woken her up.

She opened her eyes slowly, looked at Xante hopefully, and asked hoarsely, “Who was it?”

Xante frowned. “It was Sunny. Not Mister Jeremy.”

Corinne’s eyes dimmed. Even though she had fallen asleep before, it was not a deep one.

“Xante, what time is it now?”

Xante checked the time. “A little past six o’clock at night.”

“Oh.”

Xante was able to hear all the worry and disappointment in that one little word.

Corinne had been waiting for Jeremy all this while, yet he ran off with one of the babies.

‘Poor thing still doesn’t know what happened,’ thought Xante with a sigh.

Someone knocked on the door again. Xante went to open it, and two nurses brought in the

twins. She was about to close the door when she remembered Sunny was outside. Her

hand paused on the doorknob as she turned to look at him.

At that moment, Sunny had noticed the nurses with the babies, so he tiptoed to catch a

clear glimpse of them before they went in.

Seeing this, Xante said, “The boss is awake. Why don’t you come in and see the babies

too?”

Sunny was a little taken aback, but he then bashfully came in.

The two nurses took turns to show Corinne her babies.

Corinne was so weak that she could not even raise her hand, so she did not dare hold the

babies for fear of dropping them.

A rush of warmth flooded her heart when she saw the babies in the swaddle. They looked

so small like some kind of hairless animal. They had taken after their stoic dad in terms of

their eyes and noses.

Corinne’s chest tightened again at the thought of Jeremy. She felt like she could not

breathe.

Since the babies could not leave the incubator for long, the nurses picked them up again.

“We’ll bring the babies to you again tomorrow. They have to go back to the incubator

now.”

Corinne looked longingly at the babies before allowing them to bring the babies back with

a nod.
