The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Francine quickly jumped to Pamela’s defense, which was rare for her to react so quickly. “Corinne, Grandma didn’t find out about
the news from Jeremy. She heard it from Grandpa, and he heard it from the company’s board of directors.
“Both Jeremy’s and Tommy’s phones were stolen in Molomia, and they couldn’t get new numbers at the moment. This, coupled
with the fact that he’s very busy with putting out fires in the company, made it very hard for him to contact you.”
Corinne stared at Francine quietly. “Is that so?”
Holding her gaze, Francine nodded and said, “Yes. You don’t need to worry about him while you’re nursing your body back to
health. He’ll explain everything to you once he’s back.”
Pamela nodded as well. “She’s right, Corinne. The most important thing for you to do now is to get your body back to health. The
reason I came here today is to bring you home. I’ve already arranged the best care for you there. What do you say?”
“No, thanks. I’m not that fragile. Besides, it’s more convenient to stay in the hospital since there would be a team of medical staff
to attend to me if anything happens.”
Pamela shook her head disapprovingly. “How can the hospital be as comfortable as at home? The air here is filled with the smell
of disinfectant and illness. Corinne, be a good girl, and come home with me. Please?”
Corinne was about to turn her down again when Lucas came in and said, “Miss Pamela, Corinne would be going back to our
house and not yours, even if she is discharged from the hospital.”
Pamela turned around with a darkened face when she heard that. “Oh, it’s you. Thank you for taking care of Corinne, but it’s time
for her to go home now.”
“Don’t mention it. Our home will forever be her home. I must ask: What right do you have to ask her to go home with you?” said
Lucas.
Pamela frowned. “Ha! That’s rich coming from you. Corinne is my great-granddaughter-in-law, so I have every right to bring her
home!”
Lucas scoffed. “She’s your great-granddaughter-in-law? Do you have any proof? Which of the Holden men did she marry? I
didn’t see any Holden man beside her when she was giving birth!”
Pamela was speechless.

Seeing this, Lucas decided to give the final blow. “Leave now, and don’t come back to bother her! None of you can ever take her
away unless that b*stard grandson of yours comes back.”
Pamela frowned. “And what gives you the right to speak to me like that? Who are you to Corinne? On what grounds do you have
to stop us from taking her home?”
“Who I am to her is not important nor do I have to explain myself to you! You Holdens have no right to take her away based on
how unreliable your grandson is! Don’t even think about bringing Corinne home with you unless that b*stard comes back and
takes responsibility for all the hurt he caused her!”
Pamela knew Jeremy was guilty as charged, but that did not do anything to quell the anger inside of her.
“Hey! Corinne hasn’t even said anything yet, so what are you shouting about?” Francine half-shouted rudely. “Do you have a
crush on her or something? Are you hoping to steal her away while Jeremy’s gone? Tsk! What a hypocrite.”
Lucas glanced at her. He was not going to waste any of his breath arguing with a kid.
Corinne was starting to get a headache from all the shouting, so she said, “Pipe down, all of you. Francine, please bring
Grandma home first.”
