The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1629
After looking into seven or eight private rooms in a row, Lilin found no woman who looked similar to Bryan. She was beginning to think that Bryan might have imagined he heard Corinne's voice because he missed his mother so much.The waiter was also starting to get a little annoyed. "Little girl, do you still remember which side of the window your mommy's private room is at?"He could knock on fewer doors and disturb fewer guests if he could know whether the private room faced the south or the north. After all, not every guest in the private room was so good-tempered. Some guests would frown when they saw him coming in not to serve them food but to ask for Lilin's mother. He was worried that some guests would write up a complaint about him.Lilin shook her. head. "I… I don't remember..."The waiter sighed helplessly. "I guess we have no choice but to continue knocking on doors one by one to look for your mommy!"He then knocked on the door of a private room again. This time, there

"Huh?" The waiter looked surprised. "Isn't it this room? But this little girl said she was dining in this room. Little girl, are you really sure you were dining in this room?"Lilin silently raised her to look at Sunny with a pitiful expression.As much as Sunny felt bad for her, he still said, "You've got the wrong room, little girl."Lilin shook her head.The waiter was caught in an awkward spot. "Sir, why don't you ask the other guests in the room if anyone knows this little girl?""Impossible! How can I not recognize our own kids? This little girl is definitely not from this room!""Uh... Okay, then! My apologies for bothering you, sir," said the waiter to Sunny. He then turned to Lilin and said, "Little girl, you must've gotten the wrong room. I'll take you to the next one to continue searching for your mommy."After that, the waiter took Lilin away, but she insisted on staying where she was and refused to leave."Little girl, your mommy isn't in there. The people there do

"She didn't come with us. But let me talk to her to see if she's a kid of someone I know since she said she knows me. In the meantime, you should continue asking the guests in the other rooms if they have a child missing," said Corinne to the waiter.The waiter thought it was feasible, so he nodded, left Lilin behind, and turned to the next private room to continue his search.Corinne lowered her eyes and looked at the little girl whom she had no recollection of. "Why don't you come in?"It was what Lilin wanted all along, so she immediately followed Corinne into the room, causing Benjamin to frown and pout.Sunny noticed his expression, so he flicked his head and asked, "What are you thinking about?"Benjamin came back to his senses and glanced outside worriedly. He had guessed that Jeremy was probably in the restaurant too, but he did not know how to tell Sunny, so he simply shook his head.Sunny thought he was acting a little weird but did not think much about it. He closed th

"Miss, my name is Lilin Addison. About four years ago, my father and my mother had a fight. In a fit of anger, my mother ran away from home with me, but we got in a car accident. We were both sent to the hospital. I was lucky enough to escape unscathed from the car accident, but my mother needed an urgent blood transfusion to save her life."My mother’s blood type is relatively rare, and there wasn't enough blood of the blood type in the hospital’s bank at that time, so there was an urgent need for someone to donate blood to my mother."It was you who showed up in time to donate your blood to my mother that allowed the doctor to save her life. We found out you were still pregnant at the time, yet you didn't hesitate to donate your blood at all."After listening to Lilin's recount of the incident, everyone turned to look at Corinne with eyes of respect, love, and tenderness.Corinne finally remembered what happened. She did not have enough blood at that time, and the nurse refused t

Seeing the waiter coming in to take Lilin away, Corinne loosened her grip on the little girl's arm and let the waiter lead her out.After that, everyone told Corinne not to risk her own life to save strangers in the future and went back to eating.However, Corinne was still skeptical about the whole thing. Lilin was obviously not a stupid child. In fact, she seemed intelligent and well-spoken. How could she not know where her table was?Something was fishy.Just as she was thinking about it, she noticed Benjamin was sneaking out of the door when no one was paying attention.She frowned but did not stop him. Instead, she calmly observed him, got up, and followed him out.When Benjamin heard the waiter who had just come to pick up Lilin say that her family was in the lobby downstairs, he guessed that Jeremy might be among them. He wanted to go down and have a look.After he slipped out, he quickened his pace to chase the waiter and Lilin. In his haste, however, he missed a step an

Lilin was brought back to her table by the waiter."Hello. Your little girl lost her way upstairs! It was a good thing she didn't run into the traffic outside."Melinda was surprised when she saw the waiter bringing back her daughter, and she became embarrassed. She smiled sheepishly at the waiter and said, "Thank you! Sorry for causing you trouble!"The waiter bowed very politely and said, "You're welcome. I'm just doing my job."After saying that, he left them to finish their dinner.After the waiter left, Melinda pulled her daughter and lectured her, "Lilin, what's the matter with you? Why did you run upstairs?""I… I was curious to see what's upstairs," answered Lilin with a pout.Bryan—who was sitting next to Jeremy—glanced at Lilin guiltily, fearing she would betray him."I swear to god, that curiosity will be the death of you someday! How could you sneak upstairs without telling us? What if you meet a bad guy?" scolded Melinda."Mom! I'm not a little kid anymore! I can

Lilin glared at Sophia. "Only someone like you would be tricked by a few pieces of candy. I'm not a three-year-old, and I don't like candies either!"Sophia smiled mockingly and said, "Is that so? Then tell us what the 'nice' person did to make you think that in just a few minutes."Lilin scoffed. "Of course it didn't take just a few minutes to make me think she's a good person! I've known her for a long time, and I am very sure that she's a good person!"Melinda could not but think Lilin was acting a little crazy, so she pulled her over uneasily and asked, "Out with it, Lilin. Who's this nice person you're talking about?"Lilin tore her angry gaze away from Sophia to look at Melinda. She then explained nicely, "Mom, do you remember the woman who donated blood to you in the hospital after you got into the car accident? Well, I met her upstairs just now! Now, is she or is she not a very nice person?""What? Did you, really? It's been several years! Are you sure it's her?" asked Mel

"Dad, I'm telling the truth," said Lilin stubbornly. "I really found the woman who saved Mom's life! Why should I apologize to Sophia? I don't care if she's your favorite, but you shouldn't gang up with her to bully me! Hmph! If it's not because Mom still loves you, I would've cut ties with you already!"Adam was incensed at Lilin for talking back to him. "Why, you!"Melinda patted Lilin's shoulder. "Lilin, you shouldn't talk to your father like that!"Although Lilin did not argue with Melinda, she did not apologize to Adam or Sophia either. Her expression was one of determination not to give in.Looking at her, Adam felt that Lilin was exactly the same as when he was a child, and that softened him a little.Thus, he simply frowned and said, "Okay, fine. I'll take your word for it. We'll go upstairs now to meet the woman. If she is the one who saved your mother's life back then, both your sister and I will apologize to you when we come down. However, if it turns out otherwise, you

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
