Mother Cathrina waved her hand. "You go, Corinne. I'm not hungry. Besides, I want to commune with God to ease my troubled heart."
Hence, Corinne did not insist. She simply nodded and said, "Okay."
Mother Kalista could not care less whether Mother Cathrina joined them for a meal. She happily pulled Corinne, who had been their biggest donor to date, and said, "Let's go, Corinne. I'm sure Sister Cathrina will join us later when she's hungry."
Corinne did not want to bother Mother Cathrina communing with God. She bowed to her to show her gratitude for raising her before heading out with Mother Kalista.
While walking out from the main hall, Corinne saw Jason standing outside under a tree with one hand raised to pluck the leaves. Under the reflection of the setting sun filtering through the gaps in the leaves, his side profile looked even more handsome.
'A devilish man like him shouldn't appear in the convent. He'll just be forced to show his true form,' thought Corinne.
Jason sensed someone was staring at him, so he turned to look at her. After that, he walked over with the plucked leaves still in his hand. "Are you done talking to Mother Cathrina?" he asked.
"Yeah."
Mother Kalista looked at Jason and then at Corinne, thinking.
"Corinne, is this handsome man your friend?" she asked with a smile.
"I guess you could say that, Mother Kalista," said Corinne with an annoyed frown.
Mother Kalista was impressed by how expensive Jason's clothes looked. "Why don't you ask him to join us for a bite?"
"Who knows whether a pair of devil's horns or a tail would pop out after you eat the food here. Is it even safe for you to be walking on such holy grounds?" mocked Corinne.
Jason was first stunned, but he then chuckled. "Corinne, can I take it as you think I'm so handsome that it is a sin?"
Corinne ignored him and quickly caught up with Mother Kalista. She was not hungry but thought she might as well revisit her old childhood taste. Frankly speaking, she did kind of miss it.
However, when it came to really eating it, she found herself unable to stomach anything. The taste of the food was the same as it was before, but she was too full. Not to mention, her pregnant hormones made her despise carrots even more. In the end, out of politeness, she forced herself to take a few bites before putting down her utensils.
Thus, it was good, albeit surprising, that Jason—who complained about the homestay food—found himself loving the food in the convent. Not only did he finish his portion but Corinne's as well.

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...
