The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 218
Corinne's lips twitched as she smiled drily, no longer wanting to talk to Jeremy.She walked past him, bent down to look at the brown bear that was beaten to the ground, and observed it carefully.The brown bear had been beaten badly and had no strength to escape due to its injuries. When it saw a human being approaching, it bared its fangs in a bluff to intimidate its enemy.Corinne rubbed her chin thoughtfully, looked at its pitiful appearance, and shook her head sympathetically. "Tsk, tsk. It might look big, but it's not even an adult yet. It's trying to be fierce, but it looks a little cute instead."Jeremy walked to her side, looked down coldly at the brown bear, and wondered if there was something wrong with her judgment because he could not see what was cute about that bear."Mister, this species of bear doesn't usually live in such harsh environments. I'm guessing that it fell here by accident, and we're all in the same boat. Why should we kill it when we're both in a bad

Jeremy looked at her. "If that's what you want."Corinne nodded.Then, the man turned and tied up the brown bear with vines and carried it on his person as he followed Corinne step by step.After walking for a long time, the two of them finally spotted a small cave at the bottom of this dark, damp valley where they could take temporary shelter.However, the vegetation at the cave entrance was rather dense and had to be cleared. Jeremy thus placed the bear aside, gracefully rolled up the cuffs of his shirt, and bent over to pull out the half-meter-high plants at the entrance of the cave.Corinne wanted to help him, but he swatted her hand away as soon as she reached out. He then gave her such a stern stare that she had no choice but to stand by and watch him fretfully. It was a rare sight to see an elegant man get down and dirty, and she felt that he was much more masculine than his usual well-dressed, working-day business look.She had been so engrossed in gazing at this handsome

Corinne shrugged nonchalantly. "Nope. Not a single bit. I can also share my history with you."Jeremy's gaze sharpened. "What sort of history do you have? I remember you saying that you've been single all your life."Corinne nodded calmly. "That's true, but that doesn't stop me from liking lots of men."Jeremy's complexion soured noticeably, and he smiled wryly as he said, "Is that so? Tell me, then—I'm all ears."Corinne did not notice the change in his expression as she was not looking at his face. She then began giving out names of domestic and foreign male stars she once admired.For an older man like Jeremy who hardly paid any attention to the entertainment industry, those male names felt just like individuals who were once in Corinne's life, one way or another.Corinne was like one of those diehard fans as she said sentimentally, "The man I liked when I was eighteen was a singer, and I liked listening to him so much that I even imagined marrying him! His name is—""Shut up

Alas, Corinne lacked a vessel for which she could hold the water. Corinne glanced around her, picked a few large reed leaves, and skillfully folded them into a simple small cup. Though the cup made of leaves did leak a little, she could still bring some to Jeremy as long as she walked fast enough.After filling the leaf cup to the brim, Corinne brought it back to the cave as quickly as she could....Inside, Jeremy was still in his original posture. His eyes were closed and had not woken up yet.Corinne brought the water to him, knelt, and patted his shoulder lightly. "Wake up, Mister! Drink some water!"Jeremy did not respond.Corinne patted him harder. "Mister? Wake up!"Still, he did not wake up. Corinne frowned and realized that something was gravely wrong.Based on what she knew of his character, he was an extremely vigilant person with top-notch perceptiveness, so it was unlike him to sleep so soundly in a place like the wilderness.In that case, there was only one possi

Corinne grabbed Jeremy's arm firmly and shook him. "Mister! Hey! Wake up! Don't scare me like that..."The man closed his eyes to calm himself and was silent for about a minute before he opened his mouth again. "Why didn't you continue what you just did?"'What I just did...?' Corinne immediately understood what he meant, and her lips twitched as she looked at him with disdain. "Tch, all men are like this! Don't try to take advantage of me!"Corinne was very upset when she realized he tried to trick her. She shoved the remaining glass of water to him and said angrily, "Drink it yourself! I took a lot of effort to bring the water back for you, and it'll leak out if you don't drink it quicker!"Jeremy was not thirsty, but he decided to drink it nonetheless because it was rare for her to be so conscientious. He opened his handsome eyes, reached out to take the leaf cup handed to him, and raised his head to drink the water that remained inside.Then, he seemed to have a sudden realiza

Unfortunately, the leaf cup withered not long after, and the servants disposed of it when they cleaned his room.Jeremy was surprised that Corinne was able to fold such a cup."Someone's coming, Mister!" Corinne's voice brought Jeremy back to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw the light of a flashlight shining at the cave entrance, accompanied by the sound of a helicopter propeller coming closer.Jeremy got up, took Corinne's hand, and went to the entrance of the cave to check on the situation. A helicopter hovered low over the gorge, and someone was shining a flashlight all around as if to look for something. The search and rescue team must have arrived!Corinne raised her cell phone with the flashlight function on and waved it toward the helicopter to direct their attention to where she and Jeremy were.The helicopter pilot saw the flickering light below and immediately flew over to make a landing.The cabin door opened, and Zeke jumped out of the helicopter with Gerald.

Corinne was conflicted between laughing and crying, and she could only pat Annie's back helplessly. "There, there. Everything's fine now!"Sunny walked over sullenly and asked anxiously, "Ahem! You okay, Corinne?"Annie hugged Corinne so tightly and did not let go, so Corinne had no choice but to let Annie keep holding her. She looked up at Sunny and smiled. "I'm fine. Are you disappointed?"Sunny frowned. "Why would I be?"Corinne cocked an eyebrow and said, "If I die, you wouldn't have to do anything to deal you’re your sister's love rival, right?"Sunny snorted angrily. "I don't want you to die! I just..."At that moment, the white horse Moonshine neighed excitedly and ran toward Corinne from the edge of the cliff.Everyone was on high alert because that fierce horse had thrown Corinne down earlier for no apparent reason and might attack Corinne again.Jeremy's pupils contracted, and he strode up to Corinne to protect the two girls who were hugging, Corinne and Annie.Zeke,

Corinne ignored Zeke and walked to Moonshine's side.Jeremy smirked slightly when he saw that the always talkative Zeke was a little deflated by her actions.Corinne took off the saddle from Moonshine's body, handed it to Jeremy, and shone the flashlight on the horse's body as she buried her fingers inside the horse's fur. Slowly but carefully, she searched for something on the horse's body.A small item reflected the light from the flashlight.Corinne immediately moved the flashlight closer and spotted a diamond-studded earring embedded in the horse's flesh after taking a closer look. That earring was the same as the one that was lodged in Rosie's foot during the day!Jeremy saw the earring too, and he narrowed his sharp eyes at once.Due to her allergy to silver, Corinne did not touch the earring and turned her head to tell the crowd. "Come and take a look, everyone. This is why Moonshine suddenly lost control and went berserk today."Everyone came closer out of curiosity, and

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
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2931
"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
