The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2008
Everyone in the party was enjoying themselves, singing and drinking. Stella had been sitting next to Lucas as they chatted with the people around them. Melody could not help but feel somewhat envious of her.Stella knew how to break the ice with anyone, whereas Melody only felt uneasy in front of strangers. She could never be as sociable as Stella.As Lucas sat in the crowd, he could not help but occasionally glance at the lonely-looking Melody, who sat alone in the corner.Lucas narrowed his eyes on her. When Beatrice told him to take Melody to the movies, he had no interest in going to the movie with her at all as they were only pretending to be a couple. They did not have to do what regular couples do. Nonetheless, his grandmother had bought the tickets, and he did not want to disappoint her. Thus, he decided to go along with her suggestion.He meant it when he agreed to take Melody to the movie, but somehow, they ended up at the surprise birthday party Stella prepared for him i

Melody was surprised by Lucas' question. After all, she was not angry."Wait, what makes you think that I was angry?"Lucas tilted his head as he looked at her as if to say, 'Need I explain?'Melody smiled helplessly. "I wasn't angry. It's just that I don't know anyone there, so I don't know how to mingle around. I wasn't angry at all, really!"Lucas could not care less. Since they had left the club, he would not go back there again."Get in the car." Lucas opened the rear door and shoved her in, then he got in from the other side.The driver had been standing by in the car, so he drove off immediately once they were seated.Melody decided to keep silent, knowing that explaining herself would be futile.Lucas instructed the driver to take them back to the cinema. Lucas immediately pulled Melody out of the car the moment they arrived."Two tickets for the latest showtime of this movie." Lucas bought the tickets for the movie that they missed and gave Melody the tickets.All Me

Lucas' eyes seemed to be beaming with expectation even in the dark, so Melody could not bear to let him down. It would make her feel guilty if she disappointed him."Alright. I don't have anything to give you today, but I'll get you something tomorrow, okay?"Lucas lowered his head a little and stared at her seductively. "But it's not my birthday tomorrow. If you don't have a gift now, why don't you improvise?""Improvise?" asked Melody as she blinked. "But how? We're in the cinema, and there's nothing here…"Before she could finish her sentence, Lucas pressed her head toward him and sealed her lips with a kiss.Surprised by the warmth she felt on her lips, Melody stiffened and her eyes widened. She could not understand why Lucas would kiss her, but it surprised her even more that she…did not mind being kissed.Lucas did not deepen the kiss. To be honest, it was more like he was grazing her lips with his. Even so, it still made her heart race."Hurry up! The movie has started."

What a waste. She had missed the whole movie."The driver's not here yet, so let's wait for a while," said Lucas.He could not drive since he had drunk some alcohol. Thus, they stood next to his car and waited for the driver to come."Okay." Melody stood next to Lucas at a considerate distance, but she felt a tad uneasy regardless.Luckily, the driver arrived just when she thought she was going to explode. She quickly got into the front passenger seat, leaving Lucas no choice but to sit at the back.Along the way, Lucas looked at Melody's face through the reflection on the car window. His eyes narrowed as he got lost in thought.Melody could feel someone staring at her, causing her cheek to burn again. It was as if she was being grilled on a stove.They remained silent until they reached home, where they then entered one after another."I'll be in the guest room," said Lucas, stopping in front of their supposed bedroom.Melody nodded and hurried into the room. After closing th

Melody could never accept a favor without a good reason."Thank you, Grandma, but I'm sure I can find a job myself. After all, I'm quite talented! Tee-hee!" Melody tried to lighten up a bit as she turned down Beatrice's offer.Beatrice did not want to push her, so she decided to change the subject. "So, how was your movie date with Lucas?"Melody was instantly reminded of their kiss again.She lowered her eyes and answered uneasily, "It wasn't bad, Grandma. Though, why didn't you tell me that it was his birthday? I could've prepared a present to give him.""The fact that you're willing to marry him is the best present you can get him," said Beatrice with a bright smile. Judging by Melody's expression, something must have happened that day.At that moment, Melody's phone buzzed. She looked at her phone and found that it was a new number."See, Grandma. Told you I'd get a job. Now, excuse me, I need to get this!" said Melody as she stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windo

Shaun sounded so sincere that Melody felt bad about turning down Shaun Tate's offer. Still, she was firm in her stance. "I'm sorry, Mister Shaun, but I have no acting experience. To be honest, I'm quite bad at it. I'd hate to cause any problems for the movie.""Please don't turn me down just that. Why don't you listen to what we have to offer first?" Shaun tried to tempt her with the offer. "If you play the female lead, you'll be paid three million dollars. I'll also arrange an assistant to take care of everything for you in the film set."Three million dollars? That was just the amount Melody needed!She never expected that she could easily earn three million dollars just by playing a role in a movie. She could pay off her debt if she took the role, and she would be debt-free!It was just a movie. No big deal, right? She could give it a try, and if it did not work for her, she could just quit."Alright." After a long hesitation, Melody decided to give acting a shot for the sake o

"Well, there is something I'd like to talk to you about, but let's eat first."Melody was in a great mood as she kept thinking about how she would soon be able to pay off her debt. She was so excited that she held Lucas' arm and pulled him into the house.Lucas took a glance at her hands on his arm. There was a subtle shift in his heart.When he saw the dining table full of dishes, he was quite sure that something was off about her. "You must have something big to talk to me about, right?""We'll get to it later. Let's eat first," answered Melody with a playful smile. She sat him down, served him a bowl of stew, and said, "It took me hours to cook this stew. The meat is all soft and tender now."Since Melody insisted on saving the topic for later, Lucas decided to let it go and took a sip of the stew.The stew tasted amazing. She definitely put a lot of effort and time into it. After a sip, he raised his head and saw her expectant eyes."How is it?" Melody had never looked forwa

"Lucas…" Melody stood up as she called his name. She had no idea whether he agreed to let her work since he did not say anything.'Since I've told him everything and he had no opinion about it, I'll just assume that he approves of it. Well, I'm going to sign that contract tomorrow!' thought Melody with a bright smile.That night, Melody was so excited about her first job that she could not fall asleep.To give a good impression to Shaun, and also to make sure that he would not regret his choice, Melody applied a facial mask before putting on some light makeup.Once she was dressed up nicely and ready to go, she was surprised to find that Lucas had arranged for someone to send her to Shaun's company, where the contract signing ceremony was.Melody was in a great mood on her way to Shaun's company. This was not only her first job but also proof that she had what it took to get a job of her own.When Melody arrived at Shaun's company, she got out of the car and checked her attire be

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
