Corinne was not hungry at all since she had eaten before she came. However, at that moment, she was willing to do anything to get Mother Kalista out of her sight.
"Of course not, Mother Kalista. I'm actually looking forward to your cooking!"
Only then would Mother Kalista leave her alone with Mother Cathrina, which was what Mother Cathrina wanted.
After Mother Kalista left the hall, Mother Cathrina pulled Corinne to sit down. "Corinne, why did you come back so suddenly? Did something happen?"
Corinne was touched by her question. 'Only people who care about me will ask me that,' she thought.
She quickly shook her head. "Don't worry, Mother Cathrina. Nothing happened. I was just in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd drop by to visit you."
Mother Cathrina nodded with relief. She then asked, "How's the investigation on your mother going?"
Corinne had told her about Emily in the past, so Mother Cathrina knew why she worked so hard over the years.
Corinne shook her head ruefully. "I still have no idea whether she's dead or alive. However, I managed to find my brother and grandparents."
"Oh? How are they doing? Did you tell them who you are?"
"No. They abandoned me and my mother, so I never want them to find out who I am."
"Corinne, you really remind me of myself when I was young. Maybe that's why I couldn't stop worrying about you all these years."
Corinne was surprised to hear Mother Cathrina talking about the past. She did not really know what happened to her back then. All she knew was that Mother Cathrina was a wanderer who happened to stumble into the convent and, after receiving permission from the abbess, became a nun.
"What's the point of doing that? Plus, I don't ever want to see his father again."
"You mean your ex-husband? Why not?"
"He has betrayed me countless times. Trust no men, Corinne. They're all liars."
"Isn't that a bit extreme? I'm sure there are some honest men out there. Take, for example, me!" remarked Jason as he walked into the hall.
"And you are?" asked Mother Cathrina.
"He's an acquaintance of mine," chimed Corinne before Jason could say anything, prompting him to look at her speechlessly.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
