Chapter 1083


    Jason shrugged and smiled. “I guess I can go pray at the altar again. I won’t bother you two anymore.


    Corinne, I’ll find youter, okay?”


    He winked at Corinne before walking out of the main hall.


    Corinne could feel the anger ring up inside of her. ‘I told him to behave while he’s here!’


    After Jason left, the usually taciturn Mother Cathrina grabbed Corinne’s wrist and looked at her


    worriedly. “Corinne, what kind of man is your boyfriend?”


    Corinne was caught off-guard by the question. After a brief pause, she answered hesitantly, “Um…


    He’s a bit older than me, and…I guess he’s not that bad.”


    “Is he good to you?”

    “Quite,” said Corinne since Jeremy’s performance in thest few days was not that great, giving her


    cause to wonder if they really had a future together. Nevertheless, she decided to keep that to herself


    as she did not want to worry Mother Cathrina.


    Mother Cathrina stared intently into Corinne’s eyes for a long time before looking up at the angel statue


    on the main altar.


    “My ex-husband used to be good to me too, so much so that I thought I must be the luckiest woman in


    the world. However, not long after we got married, he started staying out the whole night, ignored my


    calls, and acted impatient with me. Then, we started fighting nonstop… Muchter, I could count on


    one hand the number of times I saw him in a year… He’d stay with a different woman every week, and


    the worst part was, several of them had his babies.”


    Corinne frowned. She found it hard to believe that a woman as wise as Mother Cathrina could not


    escape the fate of marrying a dirtbag too.


    “I’m sorry to hear that, Mother Cathrina. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot,” said Corinne.Books

    Mother Cathrina looked at Corinne with pity in her eyes.


    “Corinne, once the love is gone, it doesn’t take much for your significant other to get sick of you,” she


    said meaningfully. “I used to ask myself what I’d done wrong to make him hate me so much, but it


    wasn’t until muchter that I realized there was no reason at all. He was simply tired of me. That’s why,


    don’t ever believe a man when he says he’ll love you forever.”


    Corinne thought of what happened to her father and mother. Back then, Maxwell spared no effort in


    making Emily his wife, but everything changed after they got married. Maxwell did the three trifecta—


    cheating, mistress, and illegitimate children—that would bring any marriage crumbling.


    ‘I guess that’s how all men are. They’ll tell you how much they love you at the start, but once they have


    you, they’ll start chasing after other women,’ thought Corinne. She knew Mother Cathrina was just


    preparing her for the worst as she did not want Corinne to end up like her.


    Corinne was still mulling over Mother Cathrina’s words when she meaningfully added, “Corinne, I’m not


    a really good nun. There are so many worldly things I cannot let go of just yet. That’s why the abbess


    wouldn’t allow me to be a fully professed nun. Plus, I didn’t take you in out of kindness. I did it for


    my own hidden agenda.”


    ‘She took me in for her own hidden agenda?’ This was something that never crossed Corinne’s mind.


    Confused, she asked, “Mother Cathrina, is there something you’d like me to do for you?”


    Mother Cathrina did not reply immediately.


    “As I’ve mentioned, I have a son. He’s my only lingering attachment to the outside world. You were also


    different even when you were little, and I like you very much, Corinne. It has always been my secret


    hope for you to marry my son somewhere down the line.”
