Mother Cathrina waved her hand. “You go, Corinne. I’m not hungry. Besides, I want to commune with God to ease
my troubled heart.”
Hence, Corinne did not insist. She simply nodded and said, “Okay.”
Mother Kalista could not care less whether Mother Cathrina joined them for a meal. She happily pulled Corinne,
who had been their biggest donor to date, and said, “Let’s go, Corinne. I’m sure Sister Cathrina will join us later
when she’s hungry.”
Corinne did not want to bother Mother Cathrina communing with God. She bowed to her to show her gratitude for
raising her before heading out with Mother Kalista.
While walking out from the main hall, Corinne saw Jason standing outside under a tree with one hand raised to

looked even more handsome.
‘A devilish man like him shouldn’t appear in the convent. He’ll just be forced to show his true form,’ thought
Corinne.
Jason sensed someone was staring at him, so he turned to look at her. After that, he walked over with the plucked
leaves still in his hand. “Are you done talking to Mother Cathrina?” he asked.
“Yeah.”
Mother Kalista looked at Jason and then at Corinne, thinking.
“Corinne, is this handsome man your friend?” she asked with a smile.
“I guess you could say that, Mother Kalista,” said Corinne with an annoyed frown.
Mother Kalista was impressed by how expensive Jason’s clothes looked. “Why don’t you ask him to join us for a
bite?”
“Really? I’d be more than happy to join you ladies!” said Jason excitedly.
Corinne gave him a side-eye. “You were complaining about the homestay food, so I don’t see why you would want
to eat the food in the convent.”
Jason smiled. “Well, I’ve never tried convent food before, so what’s to say I won’t like it? Besides, I heard eating
food in the convent can purify one’s heart!”
“Yes, you’re absolutely right, child. Eating food in the convent is good for your body, mind, and soul!” said Mother
Kalista.
“Then don’t mind if I do, Mother Kalista,” said Jason with a smile.
Corinne chuckled coldly. “Aren’t you afraid you’ll transform back to your true form after eating the food here?”

“Huh? What?” Jason did not get what she was talking about.
“Who knows whether a pair of devil’s horns or a tail would pop out after you eat the food here. Is it even safe for
you to be walking on such holy grounds?” mocked Corinne.
Jason was first stunned, but he then chuckled. “Corinne, can I take it as you think I’m so handsome that it is a sin?”
Corinne ignored him and quickly caught up with Mother Kalista. She was not hungry but thought she might as well
revisit her old childhood taste. Frankly speaking, she did kind of miss it.
However, when it came to really eating it, she found herself unable to stomach anything. The taste of the food was
the same as it was before, but she was too full. Not to mention, her pregnant hormones made her despise carrots
even more. In the end, out of politeness, she forced herself to take a few bites before putting down her utensils.
Thus, it was good, albeit surprising, that Jason—who complained about the homestay food—found himself loving the
food in the convent. Not only did he finish his portion but Corinne’s as well.
