The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 783

Corinne shook her head. "It was no trouble at all. Really, you two are too kind to me," she said humbly.

Beatrice immediately took a liking to Corinne. "Can I ask you something, Corinne? How old are you?"

"Twenty."

Beatrice did a quick mental calculation in her head as her fingers moved subtly as if counting something. "And when is your birthday?"

An alarm bell went off inside Corinne's head. 'Why would she ask me when my birthday is? Could it be…'

"I don't know when my real birthday is because no one has ever celebrated my birthday after I lost my mother," replied Corinne out loud.

The suspicion in Beatrice's eyes became even stronger. "You lost your mother when you were young? Did she die or go somewhere else?"

Corinne fell silent. She was not happy with Beatrice's questions at all. 'Why don't you ask yourself that, you old crow! I wouldn't have lost my mother if you didn't chase my mother out of this house just because of some rumors…'

Cedric could not stand seeing Corinne sad, so he nudged Beatrice's elbow and said, "Why are you asking all these questions? Look at how sad you've made her."

Beatrice quickly realized how inappropriate she was, so she said, "Forgive me, Corinne. You look so much like someone I know that I can't help but ask those questions. Sorry for making you think of the past…"

Corinne smiled calmly. "It's okay. You didn't mean too anyways."

Beatrice passed a piece of sliced apple to Corinne. "Here, child. Have a piece of apple. We'll have a simple lunch later, and for dinner, Cedric had ordered some fresh food specially flown from overseas. I can guarantee they're all delicious, so please stay for dinner."
