The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1786

"You swear? Huh! Don't make me laugh. I'll never believe you even if you swear. If what you say is true, you won't even be here right now! And Corinne has long left this place. You should go to the Holdens if you want to find her! Why would you show up looking dressed up to the nines if you're not here to rekindle your relationship with my husband?!" screeched Lilliana.

Emily felt aggrieved. She did not think she looked like she was dressed up that nicely. She had rushed over to New Capital City from Molomia and did not even have the time to wash her face or brush her hair. Plus, she was wearing her old clothes.

She knew it would be useless to reason with Lilliana since she was too suspicious.

You must be delusional if you think that. I saw what your husband looked like in the family portrait downstairs. Only you would think a fat, balding man like him is a catch! So back off from Miss Emily! She'll never fall for someone like your husband!"

Lilliana immediately became upset when she heard Lilin calling her 'Granny'.

"Why you little brat! Who taught you to speak like that to an adult?! Where are your manners?"

Lilin rolled her eyes at her. "That's rich, coming from you! At least I don't lock other people up in the attic like your daughter did!"

Lilliana shot the little girl a death glare. "Why you…"
