The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1761

Lilin nodded honestly. "Miss Emily, any normal person would be scared out of their wits when you knocked on our door at this time. I almost entertained the thought that you teleported from Molomia."

Emily smiled apologetically and lowered herself to embrace Lilin. "I'm really sorry... I didn't mean to startle you. Here's the thing. When I saw the portrait your mom sent me today, it looked exactly like my daughter. I hurriedly bought a plane ticket and flew over to find you guys."

Lilin was stunned as she began to connect the dots. 'Miss Corinne is probably Miss Emily's daughter who she thought was dead! No wonder Dad's people didn't do anything to stop her. They recognized her to be Mom's best friend.'

Melinda looked at her best friend and sighed. She carried Emily's suitcase in and slowly closed the door.

"Emily, please have a seat. Let me get you a cup of warm water," said Melinda.

Emily stood up and shook her head. "Don't bother with the water, Melinda. Take me to Corinne now. I want to see her as soon as possible."

Melinda was a bit overwhelmed. "I'd love to take you to meet her, but look at the time now. Visiting someone at four in the morning might make us seem a bit...eccentric, don't you think?"

It was only then that Emily realized the awkwardness of the hour and sat somewhat absentmindedly on the sofa. "Oh... right... I can't freak her out. She's quite timid..."

In matters concerning her daughter, Emily, who had always been elegant and dignified, found herself in a situation where she became visibly flustered as if she transformed into a different person, completely lost and bewildered.

Lilin sat beside Emily and shook her head. "You're wrong, Miss Emily. Miss Corinne isn't timid at all. She's an independent and brave woman!"

Emily stared at Lilin in a daze and asked, "Is she truly?"

At that time, the Carews had not erected a tombstone for the daughter. As they were not relatives of the girl, they did not know how to inscribe the words on the gravestone, so they decided to wait for Emily to come and decide personally.

She struggled to imagine the suffering her daughter endured in illness, and she could no longer bear to part with the girl who had once been the apple of her eye. Therefore, she left with her daughter's ashes.

For many years, she believed that her daughter had passed away. She never thought her daughter was alive after all this time.

'How is this possible? Why would the Carews lie to me? Why would they claim Luna died of illness and refuse to tell me where she is?' Various questions rose one by one in Emily's mind. She hated herself for not thoroughly investigating and blindly believing their words at that time!

If that girl Luna was truly her daughter...
