The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1071
Corinne would hate to be one of those women whose whole world revolved around a man. Previously, she left Jeremy once because of the misunderstanding Anya caused, so she did not want to make the same mistake again.She would wait for Jeremy to return and explain everything to her, but until then, she had to brace herself for the worse. As a matter of fact, she was proud of herself for being so clear-headed. After all, how could she expect her husband to be loyal when her own father was a dirtbag who betrayed her mother?Also, she read many reputable social research reports that said the probability of men cheating on their pregnant wives was very high. Previously, she thought Jeremy was better than most men, or at least he was not the fickle type. However, the recent incident made her believe all men, with no exception, were the same; they all liked to sow their seeds around."Okay, I'll ask him when he returns," said Corinne.Seeing how listless Corinne looked, Tommy became worrie

Corinne smiled at Phoebe coolly. "Miss Phoebe, why are you so worked up? I haven't even said anything."Phoebe became even more irked at Corinne's nonchalant attitude. She hated how her words had no effect on her."You might be cocky now, Corinne, but mark my words—you're not going to last long with the Holdens either!" she said through gritted teeth. "Do you really think they'll like a country bumpkin like you? I'm willing to bet Jeremy will soon be sick of you. Then, he'll ask you to get as far as possible from him."Corinne remained unfazed. "Thank you for your wise words, Miss Phoebe. But can we get to what I came to talk about now? I'm sure you've been told of my reason for coming here. Joey is of no use to you now, and you seem to have no interest in raising him. Why don't you let me take him away? That way, everyone gets a happy ending."Phoebe widened her eyes in anger. "Dream on if you think I'm going to let you do that! He's my grandson, and Anya got him fair and square!

In the end, Phoebe said sulkily, "Wait here. I'll go check if he's woken up from his nap."Corinne smiled, satisfied. "Okay. Thank you, Miss Phoebe."After a while, Phoebe came back with Joey.Joey looked fearfully around the room. His eyes immediately lit up when he saw Corinne, but they quickly dimmed again.Even though growing up in the orphanage turned Joey into a sensitive and insecure child, Corinne still remembered the look of awe in his eyes when she first met him.That was why it was especially jarring for her to realize Joey had become so fearful through his stay with Anya and Phoebe that he did not even dare to look others in the eye anymore. His whole body language screamed how he wished he was dead.Corinne could not help but see herself in him.She waved him over. "Come here, Joey."Joey instinctively took a few steps back before turning up his head to look at Phoebe.Phoebe thought there was no point in stopping Corinne from talking to Joey since she already bro

However, Corinne quickly took a deep breath to compose herself. All her hard work would be in vain if she blew up.She smiled at Phoebe nonchalantly. "I hope you don't mind, Miss Phoebe, but I'm going to stay here for a while since you're not willing to let me take Joey with me. Plus, the mountain air will be good for the baby in my womb."Joey looked up happily at Corinne when he heard she was going to stay.Phoebe looked annoyed at first, but an idea suddenly came to her mind.She smiled cunningly. "Of course you're more than welcome to stay. I was feeling a bit lonely anyway, so I'll be glad to have someone to talk to.""Great. That settles it, then."Tommy frowned with worry. "Ma'am, I don't think that's a…"Corinne knew what he was going to say, so she chimed in, "It's going to be fine. I'm only going to stay for a few days."After that, she stood up and took Joey's hand. "Joey, can you please give me a tour of the villa?"It seemed Joey had become scared of human touch a

After Corinne woke up, she came out to see Tommy standing straight at the door."Tommy, you can let your guard down a little. Miss Phoebe isn't stupid enough to do anything to me for the time being," she said while massaging her temples."Ma'am, it's better to be safe than sorry. Miss Phoebe always looks like she wants to strangle you," said Tommy with a frown.Corinne smiled. "As if she could ever do that."Tommy sighed. "Ma'am, are you sure you want to stay here? Honestly speaking, Mister Joey looks fine to me. Why don't you wait until Mister Jeremy is back? The two of you can pick Mister Joey up together afterward."Corinne could not help but feel her heart ache whenever she thought of poor Joey."You can't possibly think he's being treated well here. He might not be Jeremy's biological son, but that doesn't mean I can just abandon him here! The moment Jeremy adopted him is the moment he committed to taking care of him, for better or for worse. Plus, I'm pretty sure Jeremy won

Corinne gazed at Jason for a while before giving him a superficial smile. "I couldn't agree more. It's so much of a coincidence that I can't help but think this was planned."Jason put his cheek on his hand and looked at Corinne flirtatiously. "You're overthinking this. I really didn't know you were going to be here.""Is that so?" uttered Corinne curtly. She was not interested in what he was doing there, so she did not continue the conversation any further. Instead, she picked up her cup to drink the free coffee provided by the homestay.However, Jason snatched the cup before it even got close to her lips.Stunned, Corinne looked up at Jason unhappily. "What did you do that for?"Jason took a sip from the cup of coffee he took from Corinne. "You're pregnant. You shouldn't drink any coffee."Corinne frowned. "It's perfectly fine to have just a little!"Jason shook his head. "Nope, you can't even have a little. Drink some water if you're thirsty. Best to avoid tea and coffee if y

Corinne paid no mind to what Jason said. She continued eating as though nothing happened.Jason was not really eating by then. He rested his cheek on his hand and gazed at her seductively until she finished eating."I see you're not a picky eater at all, Corinne. The food here isn't really that great, don't you think?""You can't expect a homestay restaurant to taste like a three-star Michelin restaurant, can you?" replied Corinne indifferently."I'm just giving my objective opinion. The food is really not that great. How about I bring you to an authentic farm-to-table restaurant tomorrow? You'll know what I say is true then.""Thanks, but no thanks," said Corinne disinterestedly. "We won't be interrupting your holiday now, Mister Jason. Tommy, go pay the bill."Tommy nodded and went to the counter to pay the bill. However, not only did the waiter refuse to take his money, but he handed over some change to him. "Mister Jason has paid for the food. This is the change."Tommy frow

Jason chuckled lightly. "I'm flattered you think so highly of me, Corinne, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm now here alone. So what do you say? Could I please join you for a drive?"Corinne was speechless. It was obvious Jason was not going to take no for an answer.Tommy looked at Corinne through the rearview mirror. "Ma'am, should I…"Corinne did not want to waste her breath arguing with Jason anymore as the sun was about to set. Thus, she waved and said, "Forget it. Just drive."Tommy frowned and nodded. 'I need to report this to Mister Jeremy as soon as possible.'The car drove along the winding mountain road. Corinne looked out at the breathtaking scenery outside the window, thinking how nice it would be to let the mountain air wash over her skin. Thus, she started rolling down her window. Before she could even get far, however, Jason reached out and rolled it back up.Corinne glared at him. "What do you think you're doing?""You'll get a headache from the cold win

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded

"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
