The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 961

Corinne guessed Cedric and Beatrice wanted her to stay for dinner to make up for all the trouble Phoebe and Anya

caused her. However, she did not want to stay a minute longer than she had to. All she wanted to do was say her

piece and peace out.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa, Grandma. I’ll give Corinne a ride,” said Lucas consolingly.

Cedric nodded. “Yes, you must do that. We’ve caused nothing but trouble for her.”

“Lucas, tell Corinne how sorry we are,” added Beatrice.

“I know,” said Lucas.

The three of them ignored Phoebe and Anya throughout the conversation. They must have thought they were

nothing but a nuisance by then.

When Corinne stepped out of the mansion, she bumped into Maxwell who seemed to have come from the garden,

judging by his soil-caked hands. He might have dressed very well all the time, but his hands seemed to be forever

dirty. Also, he did not seem to care about any of the happenings in the house. Well, not as much as he did with his

plants.

Maxwell was surprised to see Corinne there, but he then smiled warmly at her. “Miss Corinne, how long have you

been here?”

Even though Corinne knew Maxwell was her birth father, she could not help but feel resentment toward him for

abandoning her mother. “I’ve been here for quite a while already,” she answered coldly.

Maxwell nodded. “And you’re leaving now?”

“Yeah,” replied Corinne before walking past him.

“The flower you liked last time has bloomed even more now. Do you want to go take a look at them?” Maxwell

asked kindly.

Corinne stopped walking. ‘According to this dirtbag, those flowers used to be Mom’s favorite flower…’

She remembered how the rare gray-blue flowers reminded her of the bright moonlight.

She must have inherited her mother’s good taste as she thought those flowers were breathtakingly beautiful as

well. However, she could not help but feel her love for the flower had been tainted because Maxwell was the one

who grew those flowers.

‘This dirtbag cheated on Mom with that evil Phoebe! Mom wouldn’t haven’t gone missing if he didn’t abandon her.

He’s worse than trash! He doesn’t even deserve a polite smile from me!’

“No,” she uttered coldly before walking off.

Maxwell turned around to look at Corinne helplessly with gradually dimming eyes.
