Corinne was surprised to hear Mother Cathrina talking about the past. She did not really know what happened to her back then, and all she heard was Mother Cathrina was a wanderer who happened to stumble into the convent and became a nun after receiving permission from the abbess. However, for some reason, the abbess did not allow her to be fully professed.Mother Cathrina sighed and looked at Corinne wearily. "The fact that you can't forgive them means you're still stuck in the past."Corinne would have been angry had anyone else said that. However, she knew she owed Mother Cathrina for the life she had, so she simply asked softly, "Tell me, Mother Cathrina—have you forgiven all the people who have hurt you in the past?"Mother Cathrina's eyes darkened. "No. I haven't. Nor will I ever."Some strands of her hair had escaped out of her headdress as though reminding her all the hurt, the pain, and the worries of the past would always be with her, no matter where she went.After a pau

Corinne was shocked to find out Mother Cathrina had been harboring this kind of hidden agenda all along. She cleared her throat awkwardly, "Ahem! Well… I must say, that's—"Worried Corinne might have gotten the wrong idea, Mother Cathrina quickly added, "Don't get me wrong, Corinne. It might look like I'm doing all this for my son's benefit, but I'm doing it for your benefit too. I don't want you to marry an unreliable man like I did. My ex-husband might be a good-for-nothing player, but my son is certainly not."Even as a little boy, he hated his father with all his guts. He even took an oath to either take up celibacy or swear loyalty to one woman alone for the rest of his life. My son is the only man in the world I feel is worthy to entrust the rest of your life to, so I had hoped you'd marry him. That way, you won't have to endure the pain of betrayal like I did."Corinne never expected Mother Cathrina would one day try to set her up with her son. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, M

Corinne thought Jason had overstepped his boundaries by eating her food. She wanted to stop him, but he was too quick for her.'Oh well, I didn't really touch the food anyway. Might as well not waste it and let him eat it,' she comforted herself.After eating, Jason put down his utensils. "Mother Kalista, I never knew the food in the convent could be so delicious! Can I come by for a meal again when I'm free?" he asked.Mother Kalista smiled and nodded. "Of course! I just hope you don't mind how plain-looking the convent is."Jason looked around at the shabby-looking room. "It is kinda plain looking. Maybe you can consider renovating the place? That way, it'll be more comfortable for you all to live in too."Mother Kalista sighed loudly. "It's not that we don't want to renovate, but this place isn't really popular with the worshipers, so we don't get a lot of donations. What little donation we got is only enough for us to pay for our groceries, so I'm afraid it's beyond our capabi

Jason moved his face closer to hers. "I already have enough money for my future wife to live comfortably with, so what I lack now is a wife. Say, why don't you help me find one, Corinne?"Corinne frowned with disgust. She was about to leave her alone when the car door on the driver's side opened, and Tommy sat down with a serious expression."Ahem!" he cleared his throat loudly.Jason sat back in his seat without any signs of embarrassment."Mister Jason, where should I drop you off?" asked Tommy with a frown."You can drop me off at whichever homestay Corinne is staying in. It'll be more convenient to take care of each other that way," said Jason with a straight face."I'm sorry, Mister Jason, but Miss Corinne is staying with the Riveras at their summer villa. I don't think it'll be possible for you to follow along," said Tommy.Jason raised his eyebrow. "She's staying at the Riveras' simmer villa? Why, that's even better! I can just call Lucas to ask him to let me stay too."

Corinne recognized that voice. It was the same woman who picked up Jeremy's phone when Francine called him last time.She felt her heart inexplicably aching.She did not ask him who the woman was as she trusted he would explain everything to her without needing to prompt him. To her surprise, he did no such thing.Instead, he quickly said, "Hey, I gotta go now. Be a good girl and go to bed early, okay?"Corinne did not even have a chance to ask what was happening when Jeremy hung up on her. She listened as the disconnected tone floated into her ear.'Who is that woman? Why didn't he explain himself?' she asked herself.She threw her phone aside and climbed into her bed. Feeling sad and insecure, she hugged her pillow tightly and curled herself into a ball.She spent almost every night in this way when she was a child. After she grew up and gained the ability to protect herself, she no longer slept in this position.However, at that moment, the sense of insecurity from childhood
