Chapter 1559
The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Corinne felt like her nerve had been struck when she heard what Francine said.
She narrowed her eyes at the balloon seller again.
The balloon seller was out of sight by then, but she could still see the balloons flying high above the
mansion walls.
âCorinne, I gotta run. Bye,â said Francine in a hurry.
Corinne snapped out of her trance. âAre you going out on a date with Chester?â
she asked with a smile.
Francine turned bright red. She was too shy to admit it, so she stammered, âIâ¦
Iâm just going out for dinner⦠Bye!â
Francine sped away in her high heels.
Corinne chuckled and turned to go back to the mansion with the kids.
Suddenly, Christine grabbed her hand and asked cutely, âMommy, is Aunt Francine going out on a
date?â
Corinne looked down at her and laughed. âYes, your Aunt Francine is going out on a date. Youâll
probably have a new uncle soon.â
âI know who my new uncle is going to be! Itâs the man that had a picnic with us at the park that day,
isnât it?â
âYes, you adorable little genius. Nothing gets past you, huh?â said Corinne, squatting down to pinch her
little button nose.
Christine rubbed her nose and said, âMommy, even Aunt Francine has a boyfriend now, so when are
you going to get one too?â
Corinneâs lips twitched. I donât need a boyfriend when I have you three.â
âNo, Mommy. You should still get a boyfriend, or youâre going to feel really lonely,â said Christine
seriously.
Corinne pulled Christine into a tight embrace. âNo, darling, I wonât. I have you and your brothers, so Iâm
never going to feel lonely.â
Christine pouted. âThatâs different! All the kids in my class have both mommies and daddies, so I hope
Mommy has a Daddy to keep her company as well.â
Corinne was a little taken aback, not because her youngest daughter was worried about her lifelong
happiness but because she worried Christine would feel left out without a father.
After all, it was the wish of every parent in the world to give their kids a complete home.
âAre you missing your Daddy?â Corinne asked Christine softly.
Christine first nodded, then shook her head. âYes, I miss him. But if he doesnât come back, I hope youâll
find a strong man to love, care, and protect you, Mommy!â
âWhat am I going to do with her?â thought Corinne dotingly. She stroked Christineâs cheek and said,
âBut Mommyâs strong herself. Not only can I protect myself, but I can protect you and your brothers
too!â
With the balloon still in her hand, Christine wrapped her arms around Corinneâs neck and pouted.
âDonât change the topic, Mommy. If a handsome man wants to be with you in the future, you must at
least consider him! Donât turn him down because of US. Me, Joey, and Bryan all want you to be happy.â
âOkay! I promise you Iâll accept if a handsome man wants Mommy to be his girlfriend, okay?â said
Corinne dotingly. She then picked Christine up, and the two of them walked into the mansion together.
After dinner, Pamela and Greg played with the kids in the living room, while Corinne went upstairs to
her room.
It was summer, so the sky did not begin to get dark until much later. At that moment, it was still light
out.
Corinne stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in her room, and her perfect eyesight allowed her to
spot several suspicious people hiding outside the mansion compound.
