The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Francine found it odd, too. “Grandma’s right. I can’t, for the life of me, figure out why you’d stay with the Riveras, Corinne. Not to mention, the way Lucas sucked up to you. Does he have a crush on you or something? Is he trying to steal you away while you’re having a fight with Jeremy?”

Alarm bells rang in Pamela’s head when she heard Francine say that. She would never sit by and do nothing if Lucas was trying to steal Corinne away from Jeremy.

“Is that true, Corinne? Does Lucas really have a crush on you?” she asked.

Corinne’s lips twitched. “Grandma, it isn’t what you think it is. Mister Lucas definitely doesn’t have a crush on me.”

At that moment, she still did not want to reveal her connection with the Riveras. Her stay at their house was only a stopgap measure and not because she wanted to accept them as her family.

With the misunderstanding between her and Jeremy cleared up, she did not want to risk doing anything that would jeopardize their relationship again. The bad blood between the Riveras and the Holdens had gone on for generations, and she feared that the Holdens would stop her from marrying Jeremy if they knew she was a Rivera as well.
