Xante's gaze hardened. "And I'm sure you're not the type who'd overstay his welcome, right? It's time for you to leave now that you know I've made plans with someone else."Sunny raised an eyebrow and put his feet up on her table. "And what if I don't want to leave?"Xante frowned. 'It hasn't even been two minutes since I praised him for being more mature, and now look what he's doing,' she thought."You can stay here if you want, but I'm going," said Xante. She stood up, picked up her suit jacket, and strode out of her office.She did not have the energy to continue arguing with Sunny as she was starving. 'He should be gone by the time I come back from lunch,' she thought.To her surprise, Sunny stood up and ran up to block her path."What are you doing? I need to go now. It'll be rude to make my friend wait! Plus, I don't have a habit of arriving late," said Xante impatiently.Sunny stepped closer to her inch by inch, forcing her to retreat step by step.Xante could feel the

Xante was so angry that she laughed. "What? You can't keep up your mature man act anymore?"To his credit, Sunny stayed calm as he moved his face closer to her until their lips were mere inches apart. "I don't have to act around you."Xante pushed his face away. "Fine. Let's go have lunch."Sunny narrowed his eyes. "You're going to have lunch with me?"Xante raised an eyebrow. "I don't see anyone else here. Plus, you've made it very clear that you won't take no for an answer."Sunny smirked. "That's more like it. It'll be my treat since you're being such a good little girl."Xante poked his shoulder. "So can you stop aside now?"Sunny put his arms down and let her go.Xante straightened her shirt and walked out of her office. Sunny followed behind her with both his hands in his pockets.Aaron was just coming over to look for Xante when she walked out of the office."Hey Xante, what do you want to have for lunch?" he asked.He only saw Sunny after the last word left his lips.

Sunny deliberately shared some insider information with Aaron. "I heard from a friend that Annie's family has been arranging blind dates for her recently. They're pressuring her to get married. She's not very keen on it though, and she claims that she won't be picky as long as the man is somewhat decent. You should step up your game, Aaron! You wouldn't want to see her walk the aisle with someone else, do you?"Aaron cocked an eyebrow and replied pensively, "Oh?""Last I heard," Sunny added, "her family has set her up for a date this weekend at Estee Bistro. They're going to introduce her to the son of a family friend. Perhaps you might be interested to check it out?"Sunny then turned and dashed into Xante's car. Xante planned on waiting for Aaron, but he headed in the opposite direction and got into his car.Xante frowned at that sight and glanced at Sunny. "What did you say to him?"Sunny reclined lazily in the front passenger seat. "Nothing. He probably has other plans right n

Corinne knew Sophia was testing her, so she feigned surprise. "Triplets? You must've remembered wrongly. I have three children, but I only gave birth to twins. The eldest was adopted by Jeremy under some circumstances in the past."Sophia locked eyes with Corinne intently. "Are you sure? I heard rumors you had triplets." Her primary aim was to determine whether Corinne knew Bryan and Benjamin were switched. She had seen Corinne talking gently to Benjamin but could not discern the contents of their conversation.Corinne knew right away that Sophia was up to something. "Where did you hear that from? One of the doctors told me during my prenatal check-up that I was carrying triplets. I remember that clearly, but I gave birth only to twins! I kept convincing myself that I must've misheard him. I'm surprised you heard similar rumors, too. Could you tell me who told you that? Does that person know what happened? Did they see someone take one of my children away?"Midway through the conver

Corinne deleted the message after reading it. At the very least, she was able to put on an act to ensure that Sophia did not suspect anything. They could not allow Sophia to realize they had uncovered the truth. Sophia would only let her guard down if she felt that she was still in control of the situation. There was always a possibility that Sophia might go to the extreme and threaten them with Bryan's safety."Mommy, did Sophia come and look for me earlier?" Benjamin asked uneasily. Even though he had not seen Sophia, he was certain he had heard her voice.Corinne held her son close and reassured him, "No. I won't let her take you away again. Don't worry."Benjamin's unease toward Sophia made Corinne worry about Bryan. She wondered if Sophia might target Bryan. Retrieving Bryan was not possible, at least not at that moment. It would only raise suspicion and work against their current situation. She hoped that Jeremy would be aware of Bryan's existence and take steps to protect the

Annie's lips twitched as she said with a forced smile, "Slight delay is an understatement."The man raised his arm nonchalantly and rolled up his sleeves to reveal a luxury watch. "It's been forty minutes past the designated time already? I'm sorry, Miss Annie. I didn't realize that time would pass so quickly." He chuckled.Annie had given up any hope of having a meaningful conversation with that blind date. She was trying to come up with a polite excuse to leave when the man adjusted his thick glasses and said with a grin, "Never mind that. We've finally met, so let's not sweat the small stuff. It's a pleasure meeting you, Miss Annie. Please allow me to introduce myself."'Let's not sweat the small stuff, huh? Hello! You’ve been more than forty minutes late, sir! How could you act like it's not a big deal?' Annie chided in her heart.The man proceeded to introduce himself confidently, "My name is Gibby Zender. I'm a twenty-eight-year-old graduate of WEX University, the top univers
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1545
Annie was at a loss for a moment. She had met many people who were full of themselves, but she never met someone so insufferable. Gibby was delusional enough to believe that he was a promising individual, and it was as if he was oblivious to his multifaceted flaws!A burst of displeasure welled up within her, but Annie stopped herself from being rude to him since he was the son of her mother's friend.Gibby misconstrued Annie's silence as surrendering to his profound wisdom. He smiled with what he deemed to be a mature and charming expression, saying, "To be honest, you don't have to introduce yourself. I've learned about your background from your family. I'm not disgusted by you, so please don't feel inferior in any way. Let's date and give each other a chance."Annie was utterly speechless. She never imagined him to say something so outrageous. "Did you just say I don't disgust you? What could I have done to disgust you?" she retorted.Gibby responded, "I heard that you got engag

Annie folded her arms. "What are you going to say now? Everything I said was true, and you know it! If you're as amazing as you claim to be, you wouldn't even need to go on a blind date to get a woman."Gibby was furious and slammed his hands on the table as he stood up. "Did you think I'd willingly choose an old, unwanted woman like you if our parents didn't know each other?"Annie glared at him. "Who are you calling old and unwanted? I'm younger than you! If your logic is anything to go, you're the one who is an old, unwanted man!"Gibby could not contain his temper and reached for the juice on the table. He was seconds away from splashing it all over Annie's face when a hand appeared out of nowhere and held him back.Annie flinched instinctively to avoid the impending splash, which never came. When she looked up, she was surprised that Aaron appeared and stopped Gibby in the nick of time. He took the glass and poured it calmly into a trash can beneath the table.Gibby was perpl

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
