The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 584
Corinne smiled at him and answered politely, “Hello, Mister Edgar, I am Corinne Carew. I’m twenty this year.”
Edgar squinted, looking carefully at her as if he was lost in thoughts. “Twenty. Your parents are?”
Corinne said, “I come from an ordinary family. You probably don’t know my parents, but they are both alive and well. They are
living in New Capital City.”
If Edgar were to ask for more details, she would say her parents are Marvin and his wife. He never treated the Carews as her
family, but she did not wish to reveal the true situation with her family there and attract unnecessary suspicion.
Edgar nodded. “My wife didn’t frighten you, did she? It’s because you resembled our long- lost daughter and granddaughter a
little that she mistook you for someone else.”
Corinne smiled calmly. “It’s fine. I wasn’t frightened. I understand her feelings very well. It’s also my honor to bear a little
resemblance to your daughter and granddaughter.”
Edgar looked at the girl before his eyes with an attitude that was neither arrogant nor humble, then he looked at what she wore.
She was not dressed up like the other young ladies out there who insisted on wearing dresses that showed their legs and arms
in the middle of winter.
She was wearing a white shirt and straight-fit pants. It was very simple, and she did not look like she deliberately dressed up to
attend the party. However, she was very spirited. She looked like she was full of vigor, which was rarely seen in young people at
that age.
Edgar could not help but like and admire this girl named Corrine, whom he just met, a little. more. He nodded thoughtfully and
asked, “Corinne, you said your parents are in New Capital City. That means your grandparents must also be in the same city, am
I right?”
Corrinne shook her head. “I don’t have grandparents. I’ve never met them before.”
Edgar had a sense of pity in his eyes as he looked at Corinne. “If that’s the case, are you willing
“You’re here too, Corinne! I never expected that you’ll also be attending my grandfather’s birthday party!” Anya suddenly walked
over to greet Corinne with a smile, cutting Edgar off.

She did it intentionally because knew what Edgar wanted to say, and she would not let that happen! Edgar was going to ask if
Corinne was willing to be like a granddaughter to him.
Gertrude’s Alzheimer’s got more and more severe in the past few years, so she mentioned the names of their long-lost daughter,
Emily, and granddaughter, Luna. every day, and she almost forgot about everybody and everything else.
Therefore, Edgar had the intention to take a girl who looked like their long-lost daughter or granddaughter into his family to keep
his wife accompanied, relieving his wife’s condition.
However, Edgar had high standards. He was unsatisfied with all the girls who were rushing in to be his granddaughter, and he
was unhappy with the girls his family and friend introduced as well. Therefore, this matter was dragged out without being
resolved.
Anya kept feeling that as long as she put in the effort to imitate Edgar and Gertrude’s daughter’s and granddaughter’s habits and
character and deliberately make herself look like how Emily looked in old photos with makeup, she certainly could make her
grandparents happy!
However, that did not happen. Edgar and Gertrude did not even take another look at her at all. Edgar never considered letting
her, his “granddaughter,” help with his wife’s condition.
