Meanwhile, at the hotel suite, Jeremy suddenly sneezed. "Achoo!"Sophia, who just came back from meeting with her father, happened to hear it and looked worried. "Zachary, why are you sneezing? Didn't you already take the cold medicine? You should be getting better by now."As she spoke, she quickly stepped forward and touched Jeremy's forehead. It was not hot.Jeremy raised his hand and gently pushed her hand away. "I'm okay. It's just that my nose is a little itchy. Maybe it's because of the dust in the air.""Oh, thank god. I'll ask housekeeping to clean our room again later so we'll get rid of the dust in here," said Sophia with relief."Okay."Sophia looked at the child, who was asleep on the bed and holding his toy. "Benjamin's sleeping again? All that kid does is play, eat, and sleep!"Jeremy, too, glanced at the sleeping child on the bed. He then frowned and, with a somewhat accusatory tone, asked, "Why did you just let him come back here alone? What if he ran out of the

Jeremy watched Sophia's performance quietly for a long time before speaking. "He didn't say anything about you. He just looked a little upset, that's all."Over the years, he had watched too many of Sophia's performances. No matter how good she was, he could still tell when she was lying. Thus, he was not surprised at all.Even so, there was nothing he could do since he was confined to his wheelchair. He would play along with her at times, but most of the time, he would just sit numbly.Sophia sighed. "So he is angry at me. Fine. I'll make it up to him when he wakes up.""Okay.""By the way, Dad said we'll be going out for dinner tonight since he can't bear to let Melinda cook for so many of us. He also said he has already booked a table."Jeremy frowned. "Can I not go?"Sophia shook her head. "Zachary, Dad is already feeling a bit peeved that you didn't pick him up at the airport this morning, so he's definitely going to kick up a fuss if you don't go to the family dinner tonig

Corinne turned to look out the window and massaged her temples. "In other words, you got nothing out of the trip.""No. I did get something."Corinne's eyes lit up with hope once more. "What did you get?"Lucas looked deeply into her eyes. "I heard Nellie Nymphaea's voice on the phone through that friend, and I'm a hundred percent sure that's our mother's voice! I believe that there aren't any two voices the same in the world. The timbre of the voice, the intonation, and the habitual use of the words are all the same!"Corinne's eyes trembled. "So it's really Mom?"Lucas nodded. "Yes, it's her."Corinne's eyes turned red. "Mom… She's still alive."It pained Lucas to see Corinne in such a state. He stroked her head and said, "Yes, she's still alive."Corinne looked up at Lucas. "But why doesn't she want to see you? Does she know that it was you who wanted to meet?"Lucas shook his head. "No, she didn't know it was me. I asked my friend not to tell her beforehand."Corinne took

Corinne only worried about her mother, her kids, and Jeremy.There was a burst of noise coming from outside the room, as well as the sound of kids jumping and chattering.Lucas did not pay attention to the noise outside. He just hugged Corinne gently, enjoying her momentary vulnerability. In the past, she would push him away without hesitation, so it was rare for her to rely on him like that.However, the good times did not last long, and the door was suddenly pushed open by someone."Corinne! I'm here with the kids! Corinne… Ah! What are you doing?!" shouted Francine suddenly, shocking Corinne.Francine could not see Lucas' face from where she was standing. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Corinne leaning on a man's arms, causing her to explode with jealousy.Although she was not a man and she did not like Corinne in that way, she still saw Corinne as hers!'Gah! My one and only Corinne is being touched by another man!' thought Francine. Plus, it was impossible for her t

"Okay, thanks. I'll go see them now," said Corinne.She walked out the door with Francine naturally following behind her.Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose before walking out after them.As soon as Corinne came out, she saw the kids having Sunny surrounded and asking him for chips.'Sunny must've bought them a lot of junk food on the way,' thought Corinne."Alright, hand them over! The kids aren't allowed to have too many chips," said Corinne.Hearing her voice, the kids immediately turned and shouted in unison, "Mommy!"Corinne walked up to the kids and knocked them each on the head. "Have you all forgotten what Mommy told you? You can't have any junk food without asking me first!"The kids immediately lowered their heads in shame and pouted.Feeling sorry for them, Sunny walked up to Corinne with the pack of chips still in his hand and said, "Corinne, you're scaring them. Do you have to be so strict with them when they're having fun outside? Plus, it's not like they eat j
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1619
"Uncle Lucas! Can you please tell Mommy to let us eat some chips?""Uncle Lucas, please help us. You're the best!""Uncle Lucas…"Lucas could not bear to turn them down, given how cute they were. He looked dotingly down on them, then at Corinne.Her arms were crossed, and her expression was one of determination as if to say there would be no room for negotiation.As much as Lucas wanted to help the kids, he did not dare to make Corinne unhappy. Thus, he knelt down and patted the kids on the head while gently saying, "Your Mommy is doing this for your own good. Even if you didn't eat the junk food today, they'd still be yours. So be good, and listen to her when she tells you to eat them on separate days."The kids knew it was hopeless after Lucas said that, so they nodded obediently."Fine…""Okay…""We'll do what Mommy tells us, then…"Lucas smiled and said, "That's right. Listen to your Mommy, and I'll buy you a lot of delicious food in the future."Seeing Lucas' extremely

Lucas did not care at all about what to eat. He just wanted to stay with Corinne and the kids for a while.Corinne, too, did not have a problem with the arrangement since the kids loved Lucas. Also, he could help her babysit them while she got to relax.Sunny, however, was not very happy because he would not be able to do whatever he wanted if Lucas was there.'How am I supposed to kiss and hold Xante's hand if Lucas is here? He'll definitely scold me if he sees me being intimate with Xante!' thought Sunny.Thus, when Aaron put down the coffee and went back to the kitchen to cut some fruits, Sunny followed him in and scolded him. "Hey! Have you lost your mind? Why did you ask Lucas to stay? You're not friends with him!"Aaron took out the fruits from the fridge and said with a smile, "Mister Sunny, you and I aren't friends either, right? So what are you doing here?"Sunny's expression froze. "Well, I didn't come here because of you!"Aaron went to wash the fruits in the sink. "Y

Xante ignored Sunny and went around to fill the children's cartoon water bottles with boiled water.Sunny walked over to her unhappily. "Hey, answer me! Why aren't you admitting that I'm your boyfriend? I thought we were good."Xante adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses irritatedly. "Please keep your voice down and stop with your nonsense.""What do you mean, my nonsense? Xante, can't you be more serious about me?" asked Sunny angrily.Aaron very sensibly took the washed fruits and led Annie outside to cut the fruits, leaving the kitchen to Xante and Sunny.Xante glanced at Aaron and Annie—who had already gone out—before glaring at Sunny from the corner of her eyes. "When are you going to change that bad temper of yours?""I can control my temper on other things, but not when it concerns you! Why on earth are you unwilling to admit that we're in a relationship?" asked Sunny angrily.Xante's emotions had always been stable, but even she was starting to get mad at Sunny. "Why should I

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
