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

Aaron smiled threateningly, causing a chill to go up Marcus' spine. For a moment, he thought he was going to fire him."Okay, then. Goodbye, Mister Aaron! We're going now," said Annie, breaking the silence as she pulled Marcus to the shopping mall near the restaurant.Aaron remained standing where he was, lost in thought for a few minutes before getting into his car.Annie dragged Marcus to the shopping mall and pushed open the glass door entrance before looking furtively back in the direction where they came from. She sighed with relief when she saw Aaron's car finally driving off.Marcus looked at her anxiously. "Annie, what is going on with you and Mister Aaron? Why does he seem like he really hates me?"Annie snapped back to the present and looked at him sheepishly. "Sorry, Marcus. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble…"Marcus quickly shook his head. "No, I don't mean that. I'm just worried that he's trying to steal you from me. I mean, I'll surely lose in a fight against h

Aaron went into the kitchen to heat up the food.Corinne glanced at Tommy. As annoyed as she was with him, there was nothing she could do about his presence. Thus, she sat at the dining table to wait for her lunch.Tommy frowned worriedly. He then took out his phone to text Jeremy.[Mister Jeremy, Miss Corinne is having takeout for lunch. It doesn't look like anyone living in the apartment knows how to cook.]Meanwhile, back at Holden Group.Jeremy was in a meeting, listening to his subordinates giving a slideshow presentation when his phone flashed twice.He picked up his phone to read the message, which caused his eyes to darken. He quickly replied to Tommy's text message.[Did she drink the soup?]Tommy looked up at the thermos that Corinne ignored ever since she left it on the table.[No.]After that, he did not receive any more reply from Jeremy. Nonetheless, he could feel his employer's anger through the screen.He looked at Corinne, who was eating the beef Wellington,
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1265
Corinne glanced at the soup and continued to eat her beef Wellington.Tommy looked helplessly at her before retreating to his spot at the main entrance.Aaron sniffed the soup. "This soup doesn't smell that nice. Guess Mister Jeremy isn't a good cook at all."Tommy was speechless.Corinne put down her fork and knife after she was full. She had finished all of the beef Wellington and half of the mushroom soup. The soup Jeremy cooked for her remained untouched.Just when Tommy was about to give up hope, Corinne suddenly picked up the bowl of soup. His eyes immediately lit up. 'Miss Corinne might act like she doesn't care about Mister Jeremy, but I knew she still has a soft spot for him. She must've been waiting for the soup to cool before drinking it. If only Mister Jeremy was here! He'd be so happy to see Miss Corinne drinking the soup he cooked,' thought Tommy.With that thought in mind, he secretly took out his phone to take some photos of Corinne drinking the soup.However,

Sophia put the container of cut fruits on the table and sat on the chair across from Jeremy. She then opened the container and said with a smile, "Okay, it is boring here, but you're here! I want to meet new friends and challenge myself in different areas to make the most out of my life. I mean, isn't that the point of living? Experiencing new stuff and stepping out of one's comfort zone?"As she spoke, she picked up a piece of chilled watermelon with a fork and passed it to Jeremy.Jeremy's head was throbbing from the long meeting and the photos Tommy sent. He took the fork from Sophia's hand and put the chilled watermelon inside his mouth to allow the coldness to wash away his annoyance.Sophia picked up a piece of watermelon and took a small bite. She then blinked and said curiously, "Jeremy, Miss Corinne must've treated you very well in the past for you to like her this much, huh?"Jeremy frowned at the mention of Corinne's name. After a long while, he asked her back, "How well

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
