The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 798

Cedric frowned. He knew that the 'partner' Corinne referred to was Jeremy. It was such a shame that such a decent young woman was rushed into the Holdens!

"What happened to your mother?" Beatrice asked again.

That question elicited Corinne's frown, and there was a touch of aversion on her face.

Cedric could tell that Corinne was unhappy, so he told his wife off right away. "That's enough, dear. Why are you so curious today? Stop asking about Corinne's past. We invited her here to thank her for saving my life. Now look at what you've done! Your questions made her sad!"

Beatrice noticed Corinne's unease and apologized embarrassedly. "I'm sorry I brought up your sad past, Corinne..."

"It's okay." Corinne shook her head gently. "I know that you were only asking out of concern for me."

However, she was still unable to rid herself of her suspicions. "Do you mind if I ask you one last question, Corinne?"

Cedric frowned. "How many more questions do you have for her? Stop asking and let her eat!"

Corinne answered calmly, "It's fine, Grandpa Cedric. I'm already full, so I'm okay with letting Grandma Beatrice ask one final question."

Beatrice stared at her face carefully. "Corinne, did you have any moles on your face when you were young? Such as between your eyebrows, for example?"

Her question left Cedric stunned for a moment. At long last, he finally understood where his wife's questions were coming from and turned to look carefully at the area between Corinne's eyes.

Corinne shook her head. "No."

Corinne nodded and explained, "He treats me very well, and he doesn't let me eat too much sweet stuff because he wants me to take care of my health, not because he wants to restrict my freedom."

Cedric hated the Holdens the most and snorted unhappily. "Corinne, if you one day realize that you no longer want to be with him, you can always come to me and let me know. I can introduce you to someone better than him any time!"

'Someone better than Jeremy? I'm afraid such a person doesn't exist, at least not in my opinion.' Corinne smiled helplessly. "Thank you for your kindness, but that won't be necessary."

A wave of distress and worry came over Cedric as he advised earnestly, "Just because you catch a big fish in a river doesn't mean that other bigger fish don't exist. You need to broaden your horizons and fish in the ocean, if you get what I mean!"

Corinne cocked her eyebrows and joked, "Do you go out 'fishing' even though you already have Grandma Beatrice?"
