The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1801

"Yes, and I told your daughter I was looking for you. Your daughter locked my friends and me in your attic. Your wife slashed me with a knife!" replied Emily.

Marvin looked ashamed, but he was filled with anger. He wished he could go back and teach his good-for-nothing wife and daughter a lesson.

'The little girl's right. Lilliana and Sherlyn deserved everything they got,' he thought.

"I'm sorry my family injured you, Emily. I apologize on their behalf, and I'll pay your medical bill as well."

Emily scoffed impassively. "That won't be necessary. I brought you here because I wanted to ask you about my daughter."

Marvin's face turned ashened when he heard that.

"Uh… I'm really sorry about that, too. I betrayed your trust by not taking care of her well, causing her to die at such a young age."

Emily frowned. "Even now you're not going to tell me the truth?"

Marvin pretended to be surprised. "What do you mean? Emily, didn't I tell you the same thing ten years ago and give you her ashes?"

Emily was initially leaning against the headrest, but she snapped upright at Marvin's insistence on playing dumb.

"It's good you've brought up her ashes. I wanted to ask you just what the heck was in the urn you gave me. My daughter is still alive!"

Emily had given up on him admitting anything, so she cut him off. "I'm pretty sure your wife and daughter bullied my daughter while she stayed with you. She was so young, yet you threw her to the countryside because you thought she was too troublesome. The vintage necklace I gave you was more than enough to give her a good life, yet you gave her nothing! You never cared about her at all!"

Marvin knew there was no use denying things since Emily knew everything, so he tried to come up with an excuse instead. "No, it's not like that! I had no choice but to ask my relative in the countryside to take care of Corinne because she was affecting my family! Both my wife and daughter didn't like her, and I did tell my relatives to care for her to the best of their abilities!"

"Even so, why did you tell me she was dead when I went to take her back? What could you possibly gain from doing that? Why didn't you let me take her back if you didn't want to raise her?" asked Emily. Her eyes reddened in anger and sadness.

Marvin lowered his head in shame, knowing did not have a good reason.

When Emily came to take Corinne back years ago, he did tell her that her daughter had died from illness.
