Corinne thought Jason had overstepped his boundaries by eating her food. She wanted to stop him, but he was too quick for her.
'Oh well, I didn't really touch the food anyway. Might as well not waste it and let him eat it,' she comforted herself.
After eating, Jason put down his utensils. "Mother Kalista, I never knew the food in the convent could be so delicious! Can I come by for a meal again when I'm free?" he asked.
Mother Kalista smiled and nodded. "Of course! I just hope you don't mind how plain-looking the convent is."
Jason looked around at the shabby-looking room. "It is kinda plain looking. Maybe you can consider renovating the place? That way, it'll be more comfortable for you all to live in too."
Mother Kalista sighed loudly. "It's not that we don't want to renovate, but this place isn't really popular with the worshipers, so we don't get a lot of donations. What little donation we got is only enough for us to pay for our groceries, so I'm afraid it's beyond our capability to repair the convent."
Jason sighed sympathetically. "I'm sorry to hear that, Mother Kalista. It must be hard on you and the other nuns. How about I—"
Corinne knew what Jason wanted to say, so she cut in, "Mother Kalista, didn't you just tell me you used the money I sent to the convent to repair some of the halls and statues in the convent?"
Mother Kalista was looking at Jason hopefully when Corinne asked her the question. She blinked guiltily and chuckled awkwardly. "Corinne, most of the money you sent has been used to repair the main halls where all the statues lived. Sister Cathrina donated the rest of the money to the villagers.
Jason, however, could not care less about all that. "Don't worry, Mother Kalista. I'll get my accountant to wire the convent some money after I'm back in the city. I'll also spread the word about the convent's plight so more worshipers will come."
Hearing this, Mother Kalista immediately smiled. "Oh, thank you! Thank you so much. Bless you, my child!"
Corinne frowned. 'What a hypocrite this old nun is. And what is wrong with that Jason? Why does he have to stick his nose in everything?'
As much as she was annoyed about the whole thing, she did not stop Jason from donating since it was not her money. She simply stood up and bid Mother Kalista goodbye before walking out of the room.

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...
