The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1082

Corinne was surprised to hear Mother Cathrina talking about the past. She did not really know what happened to her back then, and all she heard was Mother Cathrina was a wanderer who happened to stumble into the convent and became a nun after receiving permission from the abbess. However, for some reason, the abbess did not allow her to be fully professed.

Mother Cathrina sighed and looked at Corinne wearily. "The fact that you can't forgive them means you're still stuck in the past."

Corinne would have been angry had anyone else said that. However, she knew she owed Mother Cathrina for the life she had, so she simply asked softly, "Tell me, Mother Cathrina—have you forgiven all the people who have hurt you in the past?"

Mother Cathrina's eyes darkened. "No. I haven't. Nor will I ever."

Some strands of her hair had escaped out of her headdress as though reminding her all the hurt, the pain, and the worries of the past would always be with her, no matter where she went.

After a pause, Mother Cathrina added, "I actually have a son, Corinne. Not a day goes by without me missing him."

Corinne was a little taken aback by the revelation. This was the first time she ever heard Mother Cathrina mentioning her son.

"How old is he now?"

Mother Cathrina took a deep breath and sighed. "He should be thirty years old this year. I wonder how he's doing now? Maybe he has his own family now."

Corinne frowned in confusion. "Didn't you ever think of going back to have a look?"

"What's the point of doing that? Plus, I don't ever want to see his father again," replied Mother Cathrina, looking down.

Corinne frowned and blinked. "You mean your ex-husband? Why not? Did he do something very bad to you? Like hitting you or…"

Mother Cathrina gazed at Jason questioningly before turning to Corinne with a worried frown. "Corinne, you didn't tell me you have a boyfriend."

"I do have a boyfriend, but it's not him. It'll be more accurate to say he's my boyfriend's friend instead of my friend," said Corinne honestly.

Mother Cathrina fell silent for a moment before asking, "Why is he here instead of your boyfriend?"

Corinne shook her head. "Jason and I just happened to bump into each other while I was dining in one of the homestays near here. He said he wanted to come with me to the covenant, so here we are."

Mother Cathrina looked at Jason again with the same questioning eyes again. "Jason, can you give us the room for a moment? I have something I'd like to say to Corinne alone."
