However, Corinne did not have the luxury of time to figure out why 'Bryan' was acting that way. She shook her head and said, "He's fine. He's just feeling a little shy, perhaps."'Shy? That kid has been thick-skinned ever since he was little, so why would he suddenly become shy?' thought Xante.Xante was even more confused than ever as she looked at 'Bryan'. For some reason, he looked different somehow."What are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" asked Corinne with a raised eyebrow."Well, I promised to come yesterday, but something happened and I ended up not coming. Boss, I called you twice before I came, but you didn't pick up my calls. I thought I'd come anyway," said Xante helplessly.Corinne took out her phone and saw there were indeed two missed calls from Xante.'I must be out of it to not have heard my phone ringing,' she thought."Sorry. I took the kids to the indoor playground and it was noisy there, so I must not have heard it. Anyway, help me

Both Francine and Annie were speechless.Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. She was surprised that Christine had this kind of insight at such a young age. 'Did she really ask us to introduce a good man to the boss?'Annie was smitten by how adorable the little girl was. She walked up to her and ruffled her hair. "Sure thing, sweetheart! Let us look around and see if we can find a super handsome man for your Mommy, okay?"Christine raised her head. "Okay! Make sure he's more handsome than Uncle Lucas, 'cause my Mommy deserves the best!"The three women laughed dotingly, finding it adorable that it was all about looks to Christine."You got it! We'll do our best!" promised Annie.Francine grabbed Annie's clothes and pulled her aside. "Where are we going to find such a man? I don't think there's any man more handsome than Jeremy in this world," she whispered.Annie glanced sideways at her. "Don't you know how to play along with a kid? Besides, Corinne's not going to accept a

Corinne might have said out loud what was bothering her if there was only Xante in the room. However, she knew Francine and Annie would cause more trouble for her if she told them she saw Jeremy that afternoon.The same could be said about Pamela and Greg, too. They would no doubt rush to the hotel as well if they knew Jeremy was staying there."Nothing happened. I'm just a little tired from work," she lied.Annie pouted and crossed her arms. "Corinne, you shouldn't go to work if you're tired. It's already tiring enough to take care of three kids by yourself, so why add more to your plate?"Corinne sipped her tea before saying, "It's only tiring because I just started working. I'm sure it'll be less tiring once I get used to it."Annie felt sorry for her and was a little unhappy on her behalf.At that moment, Francine nudged Annie with her elbow, reminding her to get to the point."Ahem! So, Corinne, I have a really good friend who's an amazing therapist. Do you want to come wit
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1518
Corinne's eyes darkened, and she retorted, "And you think I'd be able to accept the news from other people?""Boss… We never stopped looking for the kid for the past three years. We plan to tell you after we've found him. I know this doesn't make it up for lying to you, though. You can punish us however you want."Corinne asked Xante to come up not because she wanted to punish her but because she was worried she and Aaron would keep things from her again in the future out of worry for her."At my current state, there's nothing I can't handle anymore. So you need to tell me the truth no matter what happens in the future. Understood?""Yes, Boss!"Corinne looked up at the full moon. Her eyes narrowed for a second. "By the way, what's going on with you and Sunny?"Xante grimaced at the mention of Sunny. She could already feel a headache coming."That kid is probably trying to take revenge on me for dumping him three years ago."Corinne turned her head to look at her suspiciously.

Jeremy paused in his bed and composed himself before saying calmly, "Can you please close the window? The night air is quite cold, and I don't want Benjamin catching a cold."After a while, the shadowy figure that sat on the chair got up, walked over to the window to close it, and walked back to sit on the chair again.Jeremy had no idea how long the shadowy figure had been sitting there, but after catching a glimpse of her silhouette and long hair, he was sure she was a woman.The room started to warm a bit.Jeremy remained leaning against the headboard. He turned to look at the sleeping 'Benjamin' and pulled up his blanket. He then looked at the shadowy figure."Correct me if I'm wrong, but you must be the Corinne Carew I've heard so much about."'He heard so much about, huh?' Corinne remained calmly seated on her chair, despite being chilled to the bone.She scoffed and said, "Huh. Even though you've lost your memory, you're still as unflappable as ever. You'd even ask an inv
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1520
Corinne did not know how to answer Jeremy. 'Glad to see he's as annoying as ever,' she thought sarcastically.Jeremy's eyes suddenly turned sharp as he heard footsteps coming from outside the bedroom."She's coming. You better go now. I promise I won't do anything the next time you want to strangle me to death," urged Jeremy.Corinne, too, heard the approaching footsteps, but she was in no hurry to leave."Okay. I'll do that when you've regained your memory."The doorknob was already turning when she said that.There was no doubt about it—Sophia was coming in!Jeremy turned to look at the door and then at Corinne, but she was already gone. All that was left in her place was a cool breeze blowing in from the open window.When Sophia walked in, all she saw was Jeremy leaning against the headboard.She turned on the lights and asked curiously, "Zachary, why aren't you sleeping yet?"Jeremy looked up at her calmly. "Why aren't you sleeping either? Why did you come in here?""I'v
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1521
Sophia thought that was a lame excuse on Jeremy's part. After all, the bed was a king-size bed, so there was plenty of room for all three of them to sleep in the same bed together.However, Jeremy's face would inevitably darken whenever he saw her coming in with her pillow and blanket. He then would tell her he did not wish for her to see his crippled legs.At first, Sophia thought it was his pride that made him say that. As time went on, she began to think he simply did not want to sleep in the same bed with her.'I've been nothing less than attentive to his needs for the past three years, so why won't he love me back?' she thought sadly."Okay. You sleep early too, Zachary.""Okay."Sophia walked out of the room sadly, but before she closed the door, she threw a murderous glance at the sleeping kid on the bed.'That kid is definitely not Benjamin,' she thought.How could she be so sure? It was because she purposely put green peppers, which Benjamin hated the most, into the om

Annie tugged at Corinne until Corinne had to get up.Corinne yawned and scratched her messy hair.Annie shook her gently. "Wake up, Corinne! I'll wait for you while you go wash up."Corinne deeply regretted agreeing to Annie's suggestion of visiting her therapist friend. Left without a choice, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. She then changed her clothes and followed Annie downstairs.The three kids slept with Francine last night. By the time Corinne went downstairs, they were already sitting in the dining room, waiting for breakfast to be served.For the past few days, Francine really pulled her weight in helping Corinne take care of the kids since she could tell how tired her sister-in-law was. Corinne was grateful when Francine volunteered to put the kids to bed at night."Joey, Bryan, Christine! Let's go have breakfast outside today," said Corinne while waving them over.Annie pulled Corinne's arm. "No, Corinne. Don't bring the kids. Otherwise, you'll

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
