The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 66

It had been a while since they last met, and the dean exchanged a few pleasantries with Corinne before getting to the point. “The graduation ceremony for your batch is next Monday, Corinne. As one of the school’s special graduates, you should bring your parents to the graduation ceremony. The school hopes that you and your parents will be able to speak on stage and share your journey’ toward achieving success.”

Corinne refused politely. “I’m sorry. I don’t have parents.”

“Nonsense! What do you mean you have no parents? It’s written clearly on your file that both your father and stepmother are alive!”

“Sir, I-” Someone on the other end of the phone seemed to have called for the principal. He answered them right away and said hurriedly to Corinne, “Please remember to bring your parents on Monday. And come early, too!” The principal hung up right after.

Corinne was miffed. She had parents, but their absence in her life meant that it was the same as not having them. After all, Marvin raised her by providing her with the bare minimum. As a father, he never attended any parent-teacher meeting, and it was even more unlikely that her stepmother Lilliana would attend with her.

Nevertheless, the dean had always been proud of her as a student, and she did not want to let the principal down. After thinking about it some more, Corinne tried to call Marvin. “Do you have time next Monday, Dad?”

Marvin was enjoying a delightful breakfast with Lilliana and Sherlyn when he answered the phone. Next Monday? That’s the day of a ceremony in which your sister will sign a contract with a new company. It’ll be broadcasted live! Lilliana and I need to dress well and show our support to your sister by attending the ceremony!”
