Chapter 1086


    Corinne thought Jason had overstepped his boundaries by eating her food. She wanted to stop him,


    but he was too quick for her.


    ‘Oh well, I didn’t really touch the food anyway. Might as well not waste it and let him eat it,’ she


    comforted herself.


    After eating, Jason put down his utensils. “Mother Kalista, I never knew the food in the convent could


    be so delicious! Can Ie by for a meal again when I’m free?” he asked.


    Mother Kalista smiled and nodded. “Of course! I just hope you don’t mind how in-looking the


    convent is.”


    Jason looked around at the shabby-looking room. “It is kinda in looking. Maybe you can consider


    renovating the ce? That way, it’ll be morefortable for you all to live in too.”


    Mother Kalista sighed loudly. “It’s not that we don’t want to renovate, but this ce isn’t really popr


    with the worshipers, so we don’t get a lot of donations. What little donation we got is only enough for us


    to pay for our groceries, so I’m afraid it’s beyond our capability to repair the convent.”


    Jason sighed sympathetically. “I’m sorry to hear that, Mother Kalista. It must be hard on you and the


    other nuns. How about I—”


    Corinne knew what Jason wanted to say, so she cut in, “Mother Kalista, didn’t you just tell me you used


    the money I sent to the convent to repair some of the halls and statues in the convent?”Books Chapters

    Mother Kalista was looking at Jason hopefully when Corinne asked her the question. She blinked


    guiltily and chuckled awkwardly. “Corinne, most of the money you sent has been used to repair the


    main halls where all the statues lived. Sister Cathrina donated the rest of the money to the vigers.


    “So you see, there’s really none left to renovate our living quarters. You have no idea just how cold it


    gets in the winter. Also, water leaks everywhere when it rains…”


    Corinne narrowed her eyes. From what she could see, there did not seem to be any big renovation


    done to the main halls. At most, they had gotten a fresh coat of paint, which did not take up much


    money. Moreover, the money she sent back over the years was in no way a small sum. Mother


    Cathrina would not have given all of them away.


    ‘I believe some of the money was indeed given to the needy vigers while Mother Kalista split the rest


    among themselves. She must’ve used the excuse of repairing the main halls and used only a little of it


    to do so. Now, she’s giving us a sob story in the hopes of us donating again…’ thought Corinne.


    Corinne did not mind donating money to the convent, but not if the money was only used to line Mother


    Kalista’s and the other nuns’ pockets. She had long discovered the nuns there were very money-


    driven.


    Ever since the former abbess passed away, Mother Kalista had taken it upon herself to be in charge of


    everything that went on in the convent. Thus, a lot of things had changed since Corinne left the ce,


    and she did not want to be used by the nuns there.


    Jason, however, could not care less about all that. “Don’t worry, Mother Kalista. I’ll get my ountant


    to wire the convent some money after I’m back in the city. I’ll also spread the word about the convent’s


    plight so more worshipers wille.”


    Hearing this, Mother Kalista immediately smiled. “Oh, thank you! Thank you so much. Bless you, my


    child!”

    Corinne frowned. ‘What a hypocrite this old nun is. And what is wrong with that Jason? Why does he


    have to stick his nose in everything?’


    As much as she was annoyed about the whole thing, she did not stop Jason from donating since it was


    not her money. She simply stood up and bid Mother Kalista goodbye before walking out of the room.
