The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1408

Pamela's grip tightened around Corinne's hand. "Corinne, I know I haven't been the best grandmother-in-law to you in the past. I should've told you about Sophia, but I hope you can forgive me, too…"

Corinne smiled at her serenely. "That's all in the past now, Grandma."

She had moved on from the matter.

Corinne told herself she had no right to ask Jeremy for an explanation at the start of the relationship since they had a working relationship. Plus, they did not know each other when he got married to Sophia back then.

It was only over time that they started to have real feelings for each other.

Pamela patted the back of Corinne's hand lovingly. "Thank you, Corinne, for forgiving me. I've always known you're a kind girl. Do you know that Jeremy would frequently sit in his room in a daze after you left? Not to mention, he became even quieter than before.

"That grandson of mine grew up in a pressure-cooker environment on account of how strict we were with his upbringing. We pinned all of the family's hope on him, causing him to grow up faster than kids the same age as him. That's why he rarely shows his emotions to anyone.

"You, however, seemed to have broken down his walls. Only with you does he show what he's really feeling—whether it be joy, anger, or sadness. You've healed him, Corinne. He's going to think there's nothing to live for in this world if he loses you, so please move back in with him when he's back. We'll all be waiting for you, Corinne."

Corinne could not bear to make Pamela worry anymore when she saw the desperation in her face, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Grandma."

Pamela finally smiled. "Now that's done, I'll leave now. Your grandfather is still waiting for us to go back. Corinne, do call me if you need anything before Jeremy's back. Remember, our home will forever be your home. We'll support you no matter what."

Not long after that, a servant came up to Corinne, who was playing on the lawn with Joey, and reported, "Miss Corinne, someone's here to see you."

Hearing this, Corinne's eyes immediately lit up. "Who?"

Even though it was a little early for Jeremy's flight to arrive, she still thought it could be him. After all, his flight might have enjoyed good weather and thus arrived earlier than expected.

However, her hope was dashed when the servant answered, "It's Miss Annie. She brought you some gifts."
