The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1774

Corinne sipped her iced latte. "Then can you explain why you've looked into my past?"

"Umm… The reason we asked you out today is so we can introduce someone to you."

Corinne raised an eyebrow. "Who?"

Melinda turned around to ask Emily to come over to explain herself, but her table was empty.

'Where is she?' wondered Melinda.

Lilin was confused as well. "Mommy, where's Miss Emily?"

Melinda looked around the coffee house, but Emily was nowhere in sight.

Corinne found their behavior perplexing, so she cleared her throat and put down her iced latte. "Missus Addison, just who did you want me to meet?"

Melinda snapped out of her shock and said embarrassedly, "Uh… She's someone from your past, but she's not free today. How about I introduce you to her next time?"

'Someone from my past? Why would I need them to introduce someone from my past to me?' wondered Corinne with a frown. 'Something's fishy about them.'

After a brief silence, Corinne asked again, "Is there anything else you want to talk about?"

Melinda sighed and looked worriedly at her. "Corinne, what are you going to do next?"

"Miss Corinne, you've really misunderstood my mom! She's not trying to get you to reveal your plans. We're not on Sophia's side. We both think what she did was wrong. Heck, my mommy is even asking my daddy for a divorce! So you see, we're not the same as my daddy!"

Corinne could tell from Lilin's firm stance that she was not lying. Adults would lie for their own benefits and so would kids, but children were rarely that calm when telling a lie. At that moment, all Corinne could see from Lilin's face was sincerity and determination.

Corinne shifted her gaze from Lilin to Melinda. "Missus Addison, are you really going to divorce Adam?"

Melinda's eyes dimmed. "Yes. We're currently living separately."

"But why? I heard you two are very much in love with each other," said Corinne curiously.

Melinda looked down at the table. She looked sad and listless. "Be that as it may, I don't want to stay in a relationship where I have to be complicit with evil. He lost all of his principles when it came to Sophia. He let her get away with doing the most heinous thing! I can't stop him, and I'm really fed up with it."
