The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1850

Melinda felt extremely embarrassed and bowed her head on behalf of her husband. "I know this isn't remotely enough, but I still hope you'll be more open to accept it. He acted out of desperation to protect his daughter, and I'll make sure he makes amends to you."

Adam frowned when he saw Melinda bowing to someone younger than her. He was about to say something when Lilin intervened by holding his hand and persuading him to remain silent. Adam kept quiet, albeit reluctantly.

Corinne keenly sensed what was going on. She maintained a stoic expression, accompanied by a somewhat ironic smile.

"I'm reminded of a saying, but I'm not sure if you've heard it before," Corinne remarked.

"And what's that?" Melinda asked, somewhat perplexed.

"The law wouldn't be necessary if apologies had any value."

Melinda mumbled. "Oh..."

Corinne then continued, "I understand that you're my mother's best friend, and you've been taking very good care of her all these years. Your relationship with her is something I'll honor and cherish, but I cannot turn a blind eye to the things your husband did. I can never forgive him. You love your husband, and I love mine.

"I'm lucky that my husband has regained the ability to walk, but that doesn't mean the harm that your husband inflicted on him in the past will just be erased. As far as I know, my husband was wheelchair-bound because your husband broke his legs. The suffering he endured can never be measured in words, nor can it simply be forgotten.
