The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1857

Emily realized Corinne and Jeremy must have had something to do with Adam being taken away.

She looked at Melinda guiltily, and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, Mel. I think I know what's going on, but I can't do anything. I…"

"It's okay, Emily. I understand how you feel. I'd feel the same if I were you," said Melinda while patting Emily's hand.

Emily's eyes reddened with sadness and guilt.

When she wandered all those years without a place to call home, Melinda had always been there for her. Yet, when Melinda needed her help to save her family, she could not provide any…

She felt sorry for Melinda as well as Corinne. She gave Corinne away to the wrong person and made her suffer for many years. While Corinne prevailed over life's challenges and met her perfect match, they were separated for three years because of some troublemaker.

Emily was well aware she had failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother to Corinne, so she had no right to ask her to let Adam go, especially when his daughter was the one who took Jeremy away from her.

Melinda stood up and gave Emily a strong, determined smile. "I can wait no matter how long it takes. You know how much of a fool I can be when it comes to love! Remember the time when you tried to talk me out of marrying Adam, but I didn't take your advice and married him anyway? That's how stubborn I am! Anyway, stop worrying about me. When I'm in love, even water tastes like honey to me. I'm sure I'll enjoy my time waiting for him."

"Oh, Mel, you silly girl…" Emily's heavy heart was lightened up by her optimism.

Melinda smiled. "I mean it! I'm glad that he finally sees his faults now. And he definitely should be punished for turning Sophia into such a spoiled brat!"
