The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1449

"I am in love with someone," Corinne answered, "and that's why I can't fall in love with other people."

Christine asked curiously, "Then who are you in love with? Where is he? Why isn't he here with you?"

Corinne was speechless. Every child had their own endless set of questions for adults. She would never answer that if someone else posed such a question to her, but she could not do the same to her daughter.

"The person I'm in love with can't come back for now," Corinne said helplessly, "but once he's back, I'll have someone to love!"

Christine asked again, "Is that person Daddy?"

Corinne was taken aback and nodded earnestly. "Yes. It's Daddy."

Christine pouted. "But I don't like Daddy!"

The little girl's response startled Corinne. "Why do you feel that way when you haven't even met him before?"

Christine huffed. "That's why I don't like him! The prince will always show up and save the princess when she needs him the most! He'll also fight dragons to protect her! But Daddy has never shown up for you! He doesn't like you, so I don't like him either!"

A child's logic can be amusing at times, but on that occasion, Corinne was made to feel a little sad. "Before you were born, he always showed up when I needed him the most," Corinne said with the utmost sincerity.

Christine was puzzled. "Then why didn't he disappear after we were born? Does that mean he hates us?"
