The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Mother Cathrina waved her hand. “You go, Corinne. I’m not hungry. Besides, I want to commune with God to ease my troubled
heart.”
Hence, Corinne did not insist. She simply nodded and said, “Okay.”
Mother Kalista could not care less whether Mother Cathrina joined them for a meal. She happily pulled Corinne, who had been
their biggest donor to date, and said, “Let’s go, Corinne. I’m sure Sister Cathrina will join us later when she’s hungry.”
Corinne did not want to bother Mother Cathrina communing with God. She bowed to her to show her gratitude for raising her
before heading out with Mother Kalista.
While walking out from the main hall, Corinne saw Jason standing outside under a tree with one hand raised to pluck the leaves.
Under the reflection of the setting sun filtering through the gaps in the leaves, his side profile looked even more handsome.
‘A devilish man like him shouldn’t appear in the convent. He’ll just be forced to show his true form,’ thought Corinne.
Jason sensed someone was staring at him, so he turned to look at her. After that, he walked over with the plucked leaves still in
his hand. “Are you done talking to Mother Cathrina?” he asked.

Mother Kalista looked at Jason and then at Corinne, thinking.
“Corinne, is this handsome man your friend?” she asked with a smile.
“I guess you could say that, Mother Kalista,” said Corinne with an annoyed frown.
Mother Kalista was impressed by how expensive Jason’s clothes looked. “Why don’t you ask him to join us for a bite?”
“Really? I’d be more than happy to join you ladies!” said Jason excitedly.
Corinne gave him a side-eye. “You were complaining about the homestay food, so I don’t see why you would want to eat the
food in the convent.”
Jason smiled. “Well, I’ve never tried convent food before, so what’s to say I won’t like it? Besides, I heard eating food in the
convent can purify one’s heart!”

“Yes, you’re absolutely right, child. Eating food in the convent is good for your body, mind, and soul!” said Mother Kalista.
“Then don’t mind if I do, Mother Kalista,” said Jason with a smile.
Corinne chuckled coldly. “Aren’t you afraid you’ll transform back to your true form after eating the food here?”
“Huh? What?” Jason did not get what she was talking about.
“Who knows whether a pair of devil’s horns or a tail would pop out after you eat the food here. Is it even safe for you to be
walking on such holy grounds?” mocked Corinne.
Jason was first stunned, but he then chuckled. “Corinne, can I take it as you think I’m so handsome that it is a sin?”
Corinne ignored him and quickly caught up with Mother Kalista. She was not hungry but thought she might as well revisit her old
childhood taste. Frankly speaking, she did kind of miss it.
However, when it came to really eating it, she found herself unable to stomach anything. The taste of the food was the same as it
was before, but she was too full. Not to mention, her pregnant hormones made her despise carrots even more. In the end, out of
politeness, she forced herself to take a few bites before putting down her utensils.
Thus, it was good, albeit surprising, that Jason—who complained about the homestay food—found himself loving the food in the
convent. Not only did he finish his portion but Corinne’s as well.
