Chapter 1084


    Corinne was shocked to find out Mother Cathrina had been harboring this kind of hidden agenda all


    along. She cleared her throat awkwardly, “Ahem! Well… I must say, that’s—”

    Worried Corinne might have gotten the wrong idea, Mother Cathrina quickly added, “Don’t get me


    wrong, Corinne. It might look like I’m doing all this for my son’s benefit, but I’m doing it for your benefit


    too. I don’t want you to marry an unreliable man like I did. My ex-husband might be a good-for-nothing


    yer, but my son is certainly not.


    “Even as a little boy, he hated his father with all his guts. He even took an oath to either take up


    celibacy or swear loyalty to one woman alone for the rest of his life. My son is the only man in the world


    I feel is worthy to entrust the rest of your life to, so I had hoped you’d marry him. That way, you won’t


    have to endure the pain of betrayal like I did.”


    Corinne never expected Mother Cathrina would one day try to set her up with her son. “I’m sorry to


    disappoint you, Mother Cathrina, but I already have a boyfriend…”


    Mother Cathrina smiled haplessly. “Yes, I know. Though, I can’t say I’m surprised. You’re a wonderful


    girl, Corinne. Any man would be lucky to have you. I watched you grow up, and I have long regarded


    you as my child. I sincerely hope you’ll find a man you can live happily ever after with.”Books

    Corinne nodded. “Thank you, Mother Cathrina, for everything.”


    Mother Cathrina could not help but feel a little disappointed. In all the years Corinne stayed with her,


    she had raised her with the idea of making Corinne her future daughter-inw. She even went as far as


    changing Corinne’s name.


    When Corinne first arrived in the convent, she went by the name of Luna, but Mother Cathrina did not


    like how the name seemed associated with the word ‘lunatic’. Thus, she changed her name to Corinne,


    which meant ‘beautiful maiden’ in the oldennguage.


    There was another reason why she chose that name for Corinne, which Corinne herself was not even


    aware of. Mother Cathrina’s son’s name was Jeremy, which meant ‘God will uplift’. Together with


    Corinne’s name, their names woulde to mean ‘God will uplift this beautiful maiden’.


    Both Corinne and Jeremy were her biggest worry in this life. She would die happy if the two of them


    could live together for the rest of their lives. For some reason, she always had a feeling Corinne would


    end up with Jeremy after leaving the convent, despite knowing the Holdens would not ept anything


    less than the most beautiful heiress in the city to be Jeremy’s wife.


    Then again, she also knew Jeremy would never fall for a girl with no personality. It was neither her


    liking nor her hope for Jeremy to end up as a sacrifice for the good of the family business, forever


    doomed to have his life dictated by dors and cents.


    “Corinne, my door will always be open for you. If your boyfriend doesn’t treat you well anymore one


    day… Find me, okay?” said Mother Cathrina while holding Corinne’s hand.


    Corinne smiled. “Sorry for making you worry about me, Mother Cathrina. Rest assured, I’m fully


    prepared to handle whatever the future has for me. You know I’ll alwaysnd on my feet, right?”


    Mother Cathrina gazed intently at her before forcing a smile on her face.


    At that moment, Mother Kalista walked in and said, “Corinne, the food is ready. You should eat it while


    it’s still hot.”


    “Mother Cathrina, you must be hungry too. Why don’t you join me?” said Corinne.
