Annie was stunned for a moment. She looked up and saw Aaron smiling at her as he took his seat just opposite her!'Is this what he meant when he said I didn't come here for nothing?'Aaron called one of the wait staff and ordered a cup of coffee for himself. He then looked at Annie with a smirk and asked, "Are you speechless because you're that happy to see me?"Annie snapped back to her senses and placed her phone down. She stared at him sullenly and said, "How did you know I'm here?"Aaron grinned. "I guess you can call this…having a telepathic connection.""What are you trying to do, Aaron?" Annie became even angrier.Aaron answered curtly, "Trying to win your heart."Annie's expression froze before her cheeks turned red. She cleared her throat awkwardly and said, "Stop making these jokes!"Aaron looked at her intently. "I'm not joking. I've been confessing my love to you since yesterday. You're the one who didn't take me seriously.""Did you just use the word 'seriously'?"

Aaron shook his head. "Nothing. I'll call the shots if you don't know what to eat. After that, we can think about what to bring back for the boss."Annie was fine with that. She nodded listlessly and said, "Fine. Whatever."Aaron glanced at her. "What's the matter? Are you so disappointed you can't have lunch with your boyfriend?"Annie rolled her eyes. "Would you cancel the company meeting so he can accompany me to lunch if I say yes?""Nope," said Aaron with a grin."Then what's the point of asking?" replied Annie with a glare."I just want to give myself the chance to have some alone time with you."Annie was speechless. She finally decided to stop being a foolish romantic, yet he was undoing all of her efforts."Ahem! I'll call Corinne to ask her what she'd like to eat."Feeling embarrassed, Annie did not know what to say, so she took out her phone to call Corinne. No one picked up."This is weird. Why didn't Corinne pick up the phone?""Maybe she didn't hear the phone r

When Corinne came out of her room, she saw Jason already walking toward the door to open it.However, no one came in, and no one spoke after he opened the door. Instead, Jason stood still and looked at the person standing outside in shock.Corinne walked over. She, too, was shocked when she saw who was outside.'What's Jeremy doing here?' she thought.Jeremy looked coldly at both of them. "Seems like I've come at a bad time."Corinne did not like the way he was staring at her, but she suddenly remembered her wet hair and her wearing her bathrobe. She instinctively pulled her bathrobe tighter to make herself look more presentable.What made the whole situation worse was Jason had just taken a shower too. In a rush to open the door, he only managed to put on his pants while his shirt was left unbuttoned, revealing his naked chest and abs.The two of them looked like they had just had s*x.Realizing this, Corinne started to panic. She wanted to explain herself but then thought the

"You know very well who the baby's father is!" said Jeremy.Corinne pulled her bathrobe tighter before smiling mockingly at him. "Aren't you just a little bit too confident of yourself? How sure are you that I didn't sleep with another man while we were together?"Jeremy's eyes darkened as he narrowed them. "You're willing to go so far as to ruin your reputation just to get rid of me, huh?"Corinne remained silent.Jeremy's expression gradually became more contemptuous. "Don't worry, I didn't come to harass you. I just came to warn you that you better not sleep with another man while you're still pregnant with my baby!"Corinne frowned. She did not like the way he was ordering her around. "You can't tell me what I can or cannot do! We've broken up, remember?"Jeremy glared at her. "Fine. Do whatever you want, but let's see how long that lasts!""What do you mean? What are you going to do?" asked Corinne with alarm.Jeremy scoffed coldly. "Why don't you put on some clothes? You

Corinne only snapped out of her trance when the elevator floor indicator panel was at '1'. She exhaled deeply out of relief and was about to close the door when someone suddenly appeared in front of her."Miss Corinne, Mister Jeremy had asked me to deliver this soup to you," said Tommy.He was holding a thermos in his hand. He must have been waiting outside the door the whole time.'Jeremy brought me soup too?' She could feel her heart melting for him, but she quickly shook herself out of it. 'No! He didn't bring the soup for me but for the baby inside of my belly!'Corinne pushed away Tommy coldly. "No, thanks. I don't want it."Tommy quickly shot out his hand to stop her from closing the door. "Miss Corinne, Mister Jeremy woke up early this morning to make this soup for you. Won't you at least try it?"Annoyed at not being able to close the door, Corinne said angrily, "So what if he cooked it? No law out there says I must eat whatever he cooks!""Mister Jeremy was worried you

Being alone with Aaron was torturous enough for Annie, let alone being alone with him in such a suggestive setting!"What are you doing? I thought we were just going to have a casual lunch," said Annie with confusion.Aaron, who sat across from her, looked even more charming under the candlelight. He rested his chin on his hand and said, "Yeah, we are. But who's to say a casual lunch can't be romantic too?"Annie's lips twitched. "I might've thought you were a very romantic guy if you treated me like this in the past. All I can think of now is how embarrassing and awkward this is."Aaron smiled. "Why? Is it because you have a boyfriend?"Annie frowned and said seriously, "Yes! It's exactly because I have a boyfriend. It's not right for me to have a candlelit dinner with another man behind his back!"Instead of feeling ashamed, Aaron gloatingly replied, "You wouldn't feel embarrassed if you don't have any feelings for me. That must mean you still like me, right?"Annie's face dar

'What should I do? What should I say? Marcus will think something's going on between me and Mister Aaron if he comes here and sees we're having a candlelit dinner! How am I going to explain to him then?' thought Annie in a panic."What's the matter, Annie? Why aren't you saying anything?" asked Marcus quizzically after a while.After thinking about it, Annie decided to not let Marcus come. "Umm… The restaurant is very far from your office, and I'm just about to finish. Why don't we have lunch next time instead?"Marcus sounded dejected. "But I've already asked for a half-day leave, so it doesn't matter if the restaurant is far. I can take a cab there, and if you've already finished eating, I can send you home."Annie did not know what to say. 'He's so patient and kind to me. I can't let him come! He'll be super hurt if he does.'The private dining room they were in was very quiet. Aaron smiled at Annie when he heard what Marcus said."You should just have him join us for lunch si

Thus, Annie had no choice but to return to her seat. "You've crossed the line this time!"Aaron smiled and said softly, "Just stay and enjoy the lunch with me."After that, the waiter brought in one fancy dish after another.Annie ate without really tasting the food. All she could think about was how to explain what was going on to Marcus.The restaurant was not that far from Newmoon Group. In fact, it would only take Marcus 15 minutes by car to get there.Marcus smiled when he saw Annie in the room, but his smile froze when he realized Aaron was inside the room as well. He looked at Aaron, then back at Annie."Annie, why are you having a romantic lunch with Mister Aaron?"Annie smiled awkwardly. "Umm… It might look like a romantic lunch, but I can assure you it's just a casual lunch. Here, have a seat, Marcus. Order whatever you want. It's Mister Aaron's treat today," she explained as she patted the seat next to her.Marcus chose to believe Annie, but he still felt pressured t

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
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2931
"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
