The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1814

Emily held Corinne's icy hand and quickly reassured her, "Of course not, my darling. I want to take you with me! Moonie, will you come to Molomia with me?"

Corinne hesitated, which was surprising. After all, she had been dreaming of going away with her mother ever since she could remember.

It hit Emily hard that Corinne was all grown up with a life of her own when she saw her hesitating.

Emily wiped away her tears, smiled, and said to Corinne, "Look at me, still treating you like a child! I've forgotten that you're a grown woman now, with your own family and children."

Corinne snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Emily with a complicated expression. "Can't you stay with us?"

Emily's smile faded into a bittersweet expression. "Moonie, I…"

Corinne was always that smart. She immediately knew what Emily was concerned about. "Mom, are you worried about the Riveras?"

Emily remained silent, but she was as good as admitting it.

The Riveras were her nightmare; it was the family she had barely escaped from. She did not want to remain in a city where she could run into them at any moment.

Corinne gripped Emily's hand tightly. "I get it. We can move far away from the city. What do you think?"

Emily shook her head. "They... They're not going to let me off the hook so easily. As long as they know I'm alive, they won't allow me to live with you..."

As Corinne stepped out, Lilin ran over excitedly and asked, "Miss Corinne, how did it go Miss Emily? Have you two rekindled your relationship?"

Sensing Lilin was being overly blunt, Melinda awkwardly pulled her to her side and said apologetically to Corinne, "Please forgive her abruptness, Corinne."

Corinne shook her head and bowed sincerely to Melinda. "Thank you for giving me the chance to reunite with my mother."

Corinne had indeed harbored reservations about Melinda and Lilin. However, everything changed at that moment because Melinda was Emily's close friend—someone Corinne could trust.

Furthermore, if it had not been for Melinda noticing the resemblance between Emily and herself, Emily would not have returned to the country to look for her. Therefore, Corinne genuinely appreciated all that Melinda had done for her from the bottom of her heart.
