Bryan immediately realized where he went wrong. Frowning, he pouted and asked, "Fine, then. I'll ask you again in a nicer way. Bro, where did you get your cartoon kite?"Benjamin liked the way Bryan called him 'bro', so he softened a little. "My mom bought it at a toy shop in Molomia."Hearing this, Bryan was about to tell Corinne when he asked again, "Did you buy the mask you're wearing at the same toy shop as well?"Benjamin nodded. "Yup."After thinking about it, Bryan knew he would have to wait for some time to get his toys even if Corinne agreed to get someone to buy them for him in Molomia, so he came up with an idea."Can you sell your kite and mask to me for now and buy new ones when you go back to Molomia?" he asked.Benjamin frowned, thinking that the kid in front of him was trying to take advantage of him. Thus, he decided to ignore him and walked around him.However, Bryan grabbed his clothes. "Bro… You don't have to sell it to me if you don't want to, but at least l

Bryan instinctively struggled. "Let me go! I want my Mommy!"Sophia picked him up. "Well, I'm here, aren't I? Why do you say that? Now, be a good boy and stop throwing a tantrum. I'm never going to bring you out to play anymore if you don't stop throwing a tantrum this instant.""You're not my Mommy! Mommy, don't go! I'm here! Save me! Someone's trying to kidnap me!" cried Bryan.Sophia completely lost her patience by then. She could tolerate Benjamin treating her coldly and would not listen to anything she said, but how dare he say she was trying to kidnap him? She would show him who's who! It was just as well that Jeremy was not on scene, so she could teach the spoiled kid a lesson."What's going on?" said Jeremy suddenly from behind them.Sophia could only swallow back the angry tirade she was going to unleash on Bryan. She turned back and said helplessly, "Zachary, I told Benjamin we had to go home now, but he wouldn't listen to me! I had no choice but to stop him from running

Sophia shot a death glare at the gossiping girls. It was clear she was warning them to shut up.The girls quickly shut up and looked away.…Corinne continued to lecture 'Bryan' as she carried him back. She was still very angry at him for running off.'This kid is getting more and more out of hand and stubborn. How dare he run off by himself,' she thought.As for 'Bryan', he just listened to her mutely. He did not apologize or admit to any wrongdoing.Once they were back at their picnic spot, Corinne put 'Bryan' down and asked him sternly, "Aren't you going to say anything? Do you know what you did wrong? There better not be a next time."'Bryan' stared at her with big sad puppy eyes.Francine sighed with relief when she saw Corinne was back with 'Bryan'. "I think that's enough, Corinne. He only ran off because he liked the cartoon kite so much. I'm sure he won't run off anymore if we get him one."Corinne could not accept her reasoning. "Even so, he shouldn't just run off wit

However, there was no one there at all, apart from a black SUV that had just driven away.Corinne's face gradually softened. She turned back and said gently to 'Bryan', "No more next time, you hear? You shouldn't run off by yourself no matter what because you'll make Mommy worry."'Bryan' stared at Corinne dazedly. His resistance went down after Corinne changed her tone. This was markedly different from the attitude he held toward Sophia; he would rebel against her no matter what she said to him.Corinne hugged 'Bryan' tightly and gently patted his back. "You like those cartoon toys, right? Don't cry. Mommy will buy you and Joey lots of cartoon toys, okay?"Benjamin knew his name was not Bryan, but he could not resist Corinne's gentleness. Thus, he nodded and rested his head on her shoulder. "Okay."Everyone smiled when the mother and son made peace. Only Christine frowned with a heavy heart at the scene.…Back at the hotel, the real Bryan had fallen asleep on Jeremy's lap.So

Jeremy recalled what Sophia said, that 'Benjamin' looked different somehow. He narrowed his eyes to get a better look at him but found nothing odd about him.Suddenly, an image of the girl he saw on the field flashed across his mind. He was sure he had seen her somewhere before.Moreover, he could not help but feel his chest tightening at the thought of her chatting and laughing away with another man.'Who is she? Where have I seen her before?' he kept wondering.Meanwhile…It was already dinner time by the time Corinne and the rest of them returned to the Holdens' mansion.Pamela immediately came to welcome them back when she heard their voices. Corinne and Francine came in with the three kids, whereas Chester had already gone back to his school.Even though Pamela was old and frail, she would still want to pick up his great-grandchildren for hugs and kisses whenever she saw them.She picked up the lightest of the three of them, Christine, and asked, "Did you have fun today, s
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1456
As much as Pamela was relieved to hear that, her heart still went out to Corinne. "Why don't you help the kids wash up and rest a bit? Dinner will be ready soon.""Okay, Grandma," Corinne replied with a nod.Joey led Christine upstairs while Corinne followed behind them. A few steps later, she noticed 'Bryan' was not with them.She turned back around and saw him standing and looking around with a lost expression as though he was a deer caught in a headlight.Corinne picked him up and blamed herself for scaring him by being overly harsh on him."Bryan, Mommy's going to help you wash up. We'll come down to have dinner with Great-grandpa and Great-grandma afterward, okay?"'Bryan' said nothing. He simply flopped his head down on Corinne's shoulder to get a sense of security. He really liked Corinne's scent; it soothed him.Francine made sure Corinne and the kids had gone up before sidling up to Pamela, whispering, "Grandma, Bryan suddenly cried for his Daddy today. I think Corinne

[Does that mean I've been to Kanton City before?]Corinne was baffled by Ghostlord's question. [Should be. Since you remember all of the things we talked about alone when I met you there.]There was a brief silence from Ghostlord. A minute later, the word [Typing…] appeared under his profile picture.Corinne waited patiently for him to reply, but she suddenly heard her son crying from the bathroom, so she quickly typed out, [Sorry, but my son is crying. Talk next time.]She snapped shut her laptop after she sent her text. She then got down from her bed and ran to the bathroom.Thus, she did not see the message Ghostlord sent her. [Which city are you in right now? Is it okay if we meet up? I really want to know about my past.]Meanwhile, Jeremy kept rereading the last message Corinne sent him with a regretful frown when he heard Sophia's footsteps coming from outside.He quickly exited from the hacker system and pulled up another news website.Sophia pushed open the door and sai

"I'm not talking nonsense! I really don't have a brother," said 'Bryan' with a pout.Corinne became really angry. "Bryan, you've been a really naughty boy today. Mommy's not going to like you if you keep on being like this!" she said sternly.'Bryan' panicked when he saw the disappointment in Corinne's eyes. He grabbed her hand and pleaded, "No… Don't hate me, Mommy…"He actually did not find it hard to call her 'Mommy'. It was also the first time he called any woman that.Sophia would keep reminding him to call her 'Mommy' at home, but for some reason, he could not and would not.His submission did not make Corinne's anger disappear, however."Go apologize to Joey now! You've really made him sad, do you know that?" lectured Corinne sternly.Bryan pouted and walked over to Joey. "Sorry, Joey. Please don't be angry. I promise I won't say things like that anymore…"Joey raised his head and smiled forgivingly at 'Bryan'. "I'm not angry, Bryan. You and Christine will forever be my

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
