The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Just like that, Beatrice and Cedric went out, leaving Maxwell and Sunny alone in the room.

Sunny pulled up a chair and sat beside his father's bed. "How are you feeling, Dad? Are you thirsty?" he asked, concerned. "Do you want me to get you a glass of water?"

Maxwell shook his head. "I'm okay." He then looked at the door thoughtfully and asked, "Sunny, where's your brother? Isn't he back yet?"

"He's back in his room. He was the one who told me about the secret room. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to find you! Do you know that Grandma and Grandpa even called the police to look for you? Don't ever go missing or drink alone again. You can just ask Lucas or me to drink with you!"

Maxwell looked at his younger son with relief, thinking he had certainly grown up. At the same time, he laughed self-deprecatingly at himself.

"Okay, I promise you I won't drink alone anymore. But you should know that Lucas will never drink with me."

Sunny gave it some thought and realized Maxwell was right.

"Even if he doesn't drink, you still have me! Dad, I'm not a child now. I can drink with you."
