The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1655

Corinne felt a headache coming on and rubbed her temples. "How do you expect me to react? Scream, shout, and let it all out? Or roll on the ground like a roly-poly?"

Francine pursed her lips and said, "No, of course not. Your reaction is just…a little cold. It's almost as if you've never been waiting for Jeremy's return."

Corinne could not be bothered to explain and handed Bryan over to Annie. She then sat by the car window and looked out, seemingly lost in thought.

Francine wanted to approach Corinne and inquire about her plans, but Aaron stopped her. "You'll have plenty of time to chat with your sister-in-law once you're home. Let her have some peace for now."

Francine looked at the heavy-hearted Corinne and decided to heed Aaron's advice. She sat quietly and attended to Bryan with Annie.

Lucas sat beside Corinne and patted her head gently. "It won't be long until we bring him back."

"I doubt it'll be that easy now that Adam is here," Corinne said as she turned to look at Lucas.

Lucas smiled reassuringly. "I'll do everything in my power to help you, so don't worry."

Corinne remained quiet. She wanted to deal with everything herself, but she still needed Lucas' help with certain things.

Melinda felt heartbroken when she saw how mature Lilin was. In Adam's eyes, no amount of sensibleness Lilin had could ever compare to Sophia. He favored Sophia and sided with her in almost everything.

"I've asked you to tolerate Sophia for many years now, and you've suffered a lot as a result. I don't want you to tolerate anyone anymore. I just want you to be yourself."

Lilin blinked. "So does that mean you're going to divorce Dad?"

Melinda sighed instead of responding. She could not deny that she still loved Adam, but she did not want Lilin to suffer because of her actions. Perhaps divorce was the best option. It could be liberating for both of them. More importantly, it would bring major benefits to her daughter's physical and mental well-being.
