Corinne sipped her iced latte. "Then can you explain why you've looked into my past?"
"Umm... The reason we asked you out today is so we can introduce someone to you."
Corinne raised an eyebrow. "Who?"
Melinda turned around to ask Emily to come over to explain herself, but her table was empty.
'Where is she?' wondered Melinda.
Lilin was confused as well. "Mommy, where's Miss Emily?"
Melinda looked around the coffee house, but Emily was nowhere in sight.
Corinne found their behavior perplexing, so she cleared her throat and put down her iced latte. "Missus Addison, just who did you want me to meet?"
Melinda snapped out of her shock and said embarrassedly, "Uh... She's someone from your past, but she's not free today. How about I introduce you to her next time?" 'Someone from my past? Why would I need them to introduce someone from my past to me?' wondered Corinne with a frown. 'Something's fishy about them.'
After a brief silence, Corinne asked again, "Is there anything else you want to talk about?"
Melinda sighed and looked worriedly at her. "Corinne, what are you going to do next?" "What do you mean?"
"I mean, what are you going to do about Zachary? Are you going to take him from Sophia?"
Corinne's guard had never once gone down. Her frown deepened when she heard the question.
"Missus Addison, I suggest you give it up if you've come to trick me into revealing my next steps so that you can bring that information back to your husband and stepdaughter. I'm not stupid, so why would I tell my enemies about my plans?"
Melinda's face stiffened. "I'm not..."
She was genuinely concerned about Corinne. One reason was that Corinne had saved her life before, and the other was that she was the long-lost daughter of her best friend.
Melinda knew Adam's temper the best. She was really worried that he would do something to hurt Corinne to protect Sophia.
