The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386

The fact that Corinne lowered her head seemed to have made Sherlyn haughtier. “How do we plan to punish you? Well, that depends on my mood and how sincere you are in apologizing to us.”

At that moment, Lilliana sighed helplessly and gently persuaded her daughter, “Forget it, Sherlyn. Corinne is your sister after all, so you shouldn’t punish her.”

“I

She turned toward Corinne and said with mock compassion, Corinne, Sherlyn could never return to the peak of her career because you took her place as Missus Holden for so long. But it’s okay, we won’t ask you to compensate her for the loss ‘ cause we’ll just put it down as you being young and stupid. However, you’ll need to give back the title of Missus Holden to Sherlyn, so it’ll be great if you can just pack up your things and leave her without a fuss. Of course, you’ll need to promise us you’ll never show your face here again and stop coming in between Jeremy and Sherlyn. I guarantee you we’ll let bygones be bygones if you just do as I said.”

“But, Mom…that’s going too easy on her!” whined Sherlyn.

Lilliana gave her a look and lectured her, “Sherlyn, Corinne is your sister. Even if you’re not doing it for her, you should do it for your father’s sake.”

From the look Lilliana gave Sherlyn, the latter understood that her mother wanted her to be patient. It was more important to get rid of Corinne from the Holdens‘ estate because there would be plenty of time later to punish her.

Thus, Sherlyn did not insist. She rolled her eyes at Corinne and said nothing for she had made up her mind to let Lilliana

handle everything.

Marvin looked at his kind wife, and he felt both touched and heartbroken. There was also a little guilt mixed in for wrongly blaming her in the past. He held her hand, sighed, and said, ” Lilliana, I’m sorry what I’ve put you and Sherlyn through. I know what Corinne did was horrible, but thank you for showing mercy to this ungrateful child of mine for my sake.”

“Oh Marvin, there’s no need to thank us! We’re family after all! ” said Lilliana gently. However, anyone there–except for Marvin and Sherlyn–could tell she was only putting up an act.

The guilt in Marvin’s heart acted as fuel to his anger. He glared at the irksome Corinne and shouted angrily, “You ungrateful child! What are you waiting for? You should thank your Aunt Lilliana for being so magnanimous! Let me tell you

something: You better not screw this up. Otherwise, no matter how much she’s willing to forgive you, I’ll make sure you get your just punishment!”

Lilliana truthfully preferred for that to happen as she would be able to show Marvin just how kind she was compared to the evil Corinne. That was why she did not know how to react when Corinne agreed to move out of the house obediently.
