The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1887

Corinne also knew that Maxwell did not really have feelings for Phoebe. After all, they slept in separate beds for years.

However, Maxwell still caused irreparable emotional damage to Emily. He betrayed Emily and doubted her innocence, causing her to flee and live a rootless life for many years.

Nevertheless, Melinda's words stirred something within Corinne. The value of a relationship was not determined by others; only the individuals involved could say whether it was worth it.

In her case, everyone thought she was stupid not to move on after her three-year wait for Jeremy, but she never wavered in her decision.

Melinda had already bought breakfast while Corinne was lost in deep contemplation.

"Corinne, they only serve sandwiches here. I got a couple for you and Joey. You guys should be okay with that, right?" asked Melinda.

Corinne snapped out of her thoughts and nodded. "Thank you, Missus Addison."

Melinda smiled. "No need to thank me. It's only sandwiches. Let's head back. Emily should be waking up soon. Having breakfast together will surely improve her mood. Since she woke up from that nightmare, she's been talking about you a lot. It was late at night, and she didn't want to disturb your sleep by calling, so she held back."

Corinne smiled and sincerely said, "Thank you, Missus Addison. You really are an amazing friend to my mom. I can't imagine how tough it would've been for her all these years without your companionship and care."

Melinda approached Corinne with the sandwiches and gently patted her arm. "Companionship is a two-way street. You see me taking care of Emily now, but you might not know how Emily was there for me, encouraging and supporting me during my toughest times. It's just something friends do for each other."
