The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 3

The information that Corinne provided Marvin clearly showed that all the men were good-for-nothings. On average, their age was around 40 years old, and most of them did not even have a decent job!

Marvin glared at Lilliana unhappily. “Some of the men here are just as old as me. How could you introduce someone so old to Corinne?”

Lilliana’s expression froze a little. She had gotten someone to doctor the photos and information of those men in advance, so it came as a complete surprise to her that the always-quiet Corinne could find out the true information behind those men.

In an instant, Lilliana played the victim and said, “I have no idea how that happened, Marvin! The men I chose for Corinne were all the cream of the crop! The matchmaker must’ve given me false information!”

Corinne, however, found it laughable. “Look at you harping on about how they’re the cream of the crop without even bothering to verify whether or not the information was accurate. Marriage is a significant part of a person’s life, yet you don’t seem to take it seriously when it comes to me. Is it because I’m not your flesh and blood? I don’t think you’ll feel proud if you saw your daughter marrying someone as old as that.”

Lilliana hurriedly tried to string together an explanation. “No… It’s not like that…”

Marvin did not want to hear any of it and smacked the information on Lilliana’s face in disappointment.

“Enough! You no longer have to deal with anything involving Corinne’s marriage. Your credit card will be suspended this month too, so I expect you to stay home and reflect on your actions instead of going out and spending all my money!”

Lilliana’s face turned pale. “Marvin, this was a misunderstanding…”

Marvin stopped talking to her and looked guiltily at his youngest daughter Corinne. “I’m sorry you had to meet all those old men, Corinne. You don’t need to go on blind dates anymore.”

Corinne smiled. “Thanks, Dad.”

After Marvin went upstairs, Lilliana’s expression turned fierce as she glared viciously at Corinne.

Sensing Lilliana’s burning gaze, Corinne said calmly, “By the way, Aunt Lilliana, I forgot to mention something. I thought that since those ‘cream of the crop’ men that you chose for me were probably your ideal son-in-law, I gave them Sherlyn’s number when they asked for my contact information. Hopefully, she’ll marry one of them!”

Lilliana gritted her teeth angrily. “What? H—How could you have done that?!”

Her darling Sherlyn was a famous celebrity who was far above the level of those losers. They should not even be calling her in the first place!
