'But how did he know where Mom's ward is?' wondered Corinne.Even Corinne held strong hostility toward Maxwell, let alone Emily whom he hurt deeply."He dared to show up in front of my mom again? Missus Addison, don't worry. This won't happen a second time," reassured Corinne.Once Joey was discharged and things settled down for Corinne, she would warn Maxwell not to disturb Emily anymore.Melinda let out a sigh. "Corinne, do you really believe that your mom's heartache will magically disappear as long as your dad stays away from her? Your mom has been wandering for so many years, and she's never been truly happy. One reason is the guilt she carries for losing you, believing that her failure to protect you led to your death. The other reason is the emotional scars from her past marriage. Yes, she hates Maxwell, but how can such deep hatred exist without a foundation of love? When your mom just escaped from the Riveras, she was barely thirty. With her looks and brain, she attracted

Corinne also knew that Maxwell did not really have feelings for Phoebe. After all, they slept in separate beds for years.However, Maxwell still caused irreparable emotional damage to Emily. He betrayed Emily and doubted her innocence, causing her to flee and live a rootless life for many years.Nevertheless, Melinda's words stirred something within Corinne. The value of a relationship was not determined by others; only the individuals involved could say whether it was worth it.In her case, everyone thought she was stupid not to move on after her three-year wait for Jeremy, but she never wavered in her decision.Melinda had already bought breakfast while Corinne was lost in deep contemplation."Corinne, they only serve sandwiches here. I got a couple for you and Joey. You guys should be okay with that, right?" asked Melinda.Corinne snapped out of her thoughts and nodded. "Thank you, Missus Addison."Melinda smiled. "No need to thank me. It's only sandwiches. Let's head back. E

Corinne nodded. "I understand."Corinne had a clearer idea of what to do. Despite having a finite lifespan, people often get stuck in a certain relationship, leading to sorrow and a lifetime of regrets. At the end of the day, no one could perfectly control their own emotions, and that included herself.Emily was already awake when they returned to the ward. She got out of bed and covered Lilin with the blanket she kicked off. Then, she gently tucked the loose strands of hair behind the little girl's ear.Emily could not help but think of her own daughter. 'Moonie should've grown up carefree and peacefully by my side, but because of my own judgment…she had to grow up being mistreated by everyone around her.' The thought depressed her yet again.It was then she heard the door to the ward open. She turned her head and saw Corinne. Her eyes instantly brightened at the sight of her."Moonie, you're here!"Corinne smiled at Emily, then gently placed Joey on the floor. "Joey, be a good

Corinne did not quite buy into Emily's claim of not wanting to know, so she continued, "Moonlight flowers are being grown In the Riveras' garden. It's exceptionally beautiful, rare, and notoriously challenging to grow."Emily was taken aback. She looked at Corinne in shock. "What…?""Maxwell told me it was his wife's favorite flower. He spends almost every day meticulously caring for those flowers. Oddly enough, he didn't seem to pay much attention to his current wife. They rarely spent time together. In fact, they slept in separate beds."Emily was stunned by this unexpected information. She looked at Corinne with a mix of confusion and surprise. "Moonie, why are you telling me all this?"Corinne pursed her lips. "Just sharing what I observed and heard at the Riveras' residence. Oh, and I also heard that Maxwell didn't want to marry his current wife. Their two children were conceived through medical means."'What?! Conceived through medical means?' thought Emily in shock.Corinn

Tommy bowed. "Ma'am, you're too kind! Without Mister Jeremy, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's the least I can do!"Corinne admired Tommy's abilities and character. She did not say more about the topic. Instead, she asked, "And where is he? Why isn't he here?""Mister Jeremy is on his way. He should be here in a little while."Corinne smirked. "He's always like this. He said he'd go get us some food yesterday, but after he left, he never came back. Instead, he got his subordinates to deliver it."Tommy chuckled. "Ma'am, you've misunderstood. Mister Jeremy didn't want you to worry, so he didn't tell you the whole story. Yesterday, our people caught Anya. He was concerned she might deny being the mastermind behind Mister Joey's kidnapping, so he personally supervised the police interrogation and confronted her. Mister Jeremy also took care of Sophia. She and Anya won't be causing any trouble for us soon."'Anya's been caught, huh? Good. I'll never have to worry about her coming f

Corinne rolled her eyes at Jeremy. "Hmph. Took you long enough to come back."Jeremy smiled, knowing that Corinne missed him dearly while he was gone.He then called out to the door. "Tommy!""Yes, sir?" Tommy came in immediately."Take Joey out for a walk. A long walk," ordered Jeremy."Yes, sir." Tommy walked toward Corinne, intending to lead Joey out for a stroll.Corinne, though reluctant to hand Joey over to Tommy, eventually relented.'Jeremy must have something important to say. why else would he clear the room?' thought Corinne.Once Tommy left the room with Joey, Corinne turned to Jeremy to see what he had in mind.Before she could say a word, her vision went black as Jeremy kissed her ferociously.Corinne was so shocked by his sudden kiss that she hit him a few times before she succumbed to the kiss. She was powerless against his passionate kiss.It was only when Corinne started to go weak in the knees that Jeremy finally let go of her.Slightly panting, she glare

Jeremy sounded upset, so Corinne went soft on him. "Hey! I was just kidding!""Little rascal, I promise that none of this will happen again. No one, and nothing, can separate us again," vowed Jeremy as he hugged Corinne tightly."I believe you, Mister," said Corinne with a nod.…"Everything is alright. Joey may go home now. Remember, keep his wounds away from water, and change the dressing on time," reported the nurse with Joey's report in her hands.Corinne and Jeremy thanked the nurse and left the ward with Joey.They then took Joey to Emily's ward to inform her that he had been discharged. They promised to visit her again after they had calmed the rest, especially Pamela and Greg.The atmosphere in the Holdens' estate was a little heavy. As a precautionary measure, Pamela and Greg hired bodyguards to keep a close eye on their grandchildren.Christine did not like being watched at all times, so she pouted and whined to Pamela, "Great-grandma, can you please ask these people
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1893
The kids cheered when Corinne assured them that everything was alright."Hooray! That means we won't need these bodyguards to follow us around anymore. Right, Mommy?" asked Christine."Yeah, Mommy. They're making us uneasy," said Bryan."That's right, Mommy!" Benjamin nodded quickly.Corinne raised her head and saw the bodyguards behind the children. She immediately understood that they were assigned by Pamela and Greg.She sighed. 'Poor Grandpa and Grandma. They must be so terrified by what happened yesterday.'However, Corinne decided to push the problem to Jeremy. "Well, go ask your daddy. It's his call."The kids immediately changed their target to Jeremy and surrounded him in no time."Daddy, you'll agree, won't you?" asked Bryan."Daddy, I don't want to be monitored round the clock…" said Benjamin pitifully."Ahem! Daddy, remember that you just came home to us. You should probably give us a good impression, don't you think?" reminded Christine as she blinked adorably.

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
