The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 425
“What’s your relationship with my birth mother? Why, instead of her, did you go to the hospital to pick me up?”
Marvin’s face stiffened and he looked at her in astonishment, “You knew about that?”
“Yeah, and I also know you’re not my real father.”
‘This explains why she has been addressing me as Mister Carew lately,’ thought Marvin. His eyes flashed as he shouted, “How
dare you! When are you going to stop with your nonsense? Corinne Carew, you’re my daughter! Are you seriously thinking of
cutting ties with your flesh and blood just because you’ve married into a wealthy family?”
Corinne remained calm. “I’m sorry, Mister Carew, but I’ve already done a paternity test and you and I have no blood ties at all so
you can’t fool me.”
Marvin did a double-take. He never expected that she would do something like this. “How dare you do a paternity test behind my
back?”
Corinne folded her arms lazily. “Oh, I didn’t plan for it. I just thought I might as well do it when you and Sherlyn were doing
yours.”
Marvin knew he could not hide the truth from her anymore. He gritted his teeth and scoffed.” So what if you have no blood ties? I
was the one who brought you up and that makes me your father!”
Corinne smiled. “Did you? I don’t seem to remember you ever doing that.”
Marvin was completely speechless. It was true that he did not raise this adopted daughter of his. Instead, she was thrown into
the countryside and was only allowed to come back after she got into university. Moreover, she never spent a penny of this on
her education since she received a full-ride scholarship.
Corinne did not care about that; she did not come here to rehash what he did wrong as a parent. “It doesn’t matter if you’re my
real father or not because I came here to talk about my mother. Tell me everything you know about her, Mister Carew.”
It was obvious Marvin did not want to talk about Corinne’s mother at all. He knitted his brows in consternation and said seriously,
“There’s nothing to talk about! Whatever happens, is only between me and her! You have no right to butt into our affairs.”
Corinne narrowed her eyes. “She’s my mother! So, of course, I have the right to find out the truth about her!”

Marvin was not in agreement with her. “Even so, I still have nothing to tell you ’cause I’ve long forgotten what happened in the
past.”
“You’ve forgotten?” Corinne did not panic nor did she get angry. She stood up slowly and
continued to say, “Very well then. Since you’re unwilling to tell me anything, I’ll be taking the engagement gifts with me then!”
Marvin immediately panicked at the thought of the engagement gifts getting taken away.
“Wait!”
Corinne paused in her tracks and looked back at him. “Yes? Has your memory come back now, Mister Carew?”
Marvin glared at her angrily. “I can only tell you what I know ’cause I’m not sure about the rest.”
Corinne sat back down. “Okay, what do you know?”
Thinking back to the past irritated Marvin to no end. “Your mother and I used to go to the same university and she turned me
down after I confessed my feelings to her. One day fifteen years ago, when I ran into her again by chance, she anxiously asked
me to go to the Children’s Hospital to pick you up, and we lost contact with each other after that.”
The corners of Corinne’s eyes tensed up. “What’s my mother’s name?”
“Em. Em Love.”
‘Em Love.’ Corinne repeated her mother’s name in her heart. Then she fixed her gaze on Marvin and asked, “Go on. What else
do you know about her?”
