The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1083

Jason shrugged and smiled. "I guess I can go pray at the altar again. I won't bother you two anymore. Corinne, I'll find you later, okay?"

He winked at Corinne before walking out of the main hall.

Corinne could feel the anger flaring up inside of her. 'I told him to behave while he's here!'

After Jason left, the usually taciturn Mother Cathrina grabbed Corinne's wrist and looked at her worriedly. "Corinne, what kind of man is your boyfriend?"

Corinne was caught off-guard by the question. After a brief pause, she answered hesitantly, "Um… He's a bit older than me, and…I guess he's not that bad."

"Is he good to you?"

"Quite," said Corinne since Jeremy's performance in the last few days was not that great, giving her cause to wonder if they really had a future together. Nevertheless, she decided to keep that to herself as she did not want to worry Mother Cathrina.

Mother Cathrina stared intently into Corinne's eyes for a long time before looking up at the angel statue on the main altar.

"My ex-husband used to be good to me too, so much so that I thought I must be the luckiest woman in the world. However, not long after we got married, he started staying out the whole night, ignored my calls, and acted impatient with me. Then, we started fighting nonstop… Much later, I could count on one hand the number of times I saw him in a year… He'd stay with a different woman every week, and the worst part was, several of them had his babies."

Corinne was still mulling over Mother Cathrina's words when she meaningfully added, "Corinne, I'm not a really good nun. There are so many worldly things I cannot let go of just yet. That's why the abbess wouldn't allow me to become a fully professed nun. Plus, I didn't take you in out of kindness. I did it for my own hidden agenda."

'She took me in for her own hidden agenda?' This was something that never crossed Corinne's mind. Confused, she asked, "Mother Cathrina, is there something you'd like me to do for you?"

Mother Cathrina did not reply immediately.

"As I've mentioned, I have a son. He's my only lingering attachment to the outside world. You were also different even when you were little, and I like you very much, Corinne. It has always been my secret hope for you to marry my son somewhere down the line."
