The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2644
Many of Melody's fans noticed the well-dressed man sitting among them in the fan group. None of them expected the Rivera Group's dignified president to sit alongside common folk like them. Most company presidents had bodyguards stationed all around them, or at the very least seated in a private room. He chose to sit among the fans instead.Melody had considered seating him farther away from the fans so he could watch her from a more exclusive position in the audience. He, however, refused. He believed that those in the front row had the best view of her, which made Melody blush a little."I'm worried that someone might recognize you if you sit with them. And it might be too loud for you too. What if someone who doesn't like you tries to hit you secretly and take you down?" Melody asked, concerned.Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I'm that unpopular among your fans? Or are you implying that none of your fans like me?""Umm…" Melody pouted. "It shouldn't be surprising if they d

Melody had already settled on her life partner after filming her first movie. Such a decision would surely stir turmoil among other fan circles. However, as if by prior discussion, her fans seemed to offer their sincere blessings to her despite their initial silence. Their favorite actress had faced enough challenges in the industry, and they did not want to deny her the right to decide things for herself.At the same time, she also felt bad for what Lucas had to go through. He had never allowed himself to be photographed, but it was no longer possible to avoid the paparazzi ever since he started being with her. In the past, he was always able to avoid showing his face in magazine interviews, but that changed, and his images have since made frequent appearances in tabloids. She once asked him if it might be better for them to travel separately, but Lucas refused outright."I could only hold your hand in public after waiting patiently for you to reveal our relationship to your fans. A

It was as if Melody achieved everything just by asking Lucas for help. That was clearly not the case as the entire itinerary of the meet-and-greet and all the planning—including her decision to take dance lessons and choreograph her routine—were all her efforts. They did not acknowledge her at all simply because her husband was Lucas."Look at her fans. They're losing their minds again. If it weren't for Melody, this studio wouldn't have shot to fame so quickly, would it?"Everyone fell silent when the studio was mentioned because it had been Lucas who helped her. Then again, they were husband and wife, and there should be no issue for them to help each other. It was not like Lucas should be expected to just stand by indifferently while watching Melody being attacked by folks online."That segment of Melody's fans are advised to be more aware of her current status with Lucas. They are husband and wife, so it's reasonable to expect that they would help each other out from time to tim

If showbiz as a whole was too much for Melody, it would be better for her to exit the industry after filming 'War Song'. They hoped that Melody could leave behind a legacy of films, but not if it was at the expense of sacrificing Melody's happiness. The fans cared for her genuinely, and Melody felt it resoundingly.At that moment, the lights in the audience came on. Melody—who wore a casual-looking outfit that seemed to have some thought put into it—walked up with a microphone and asked, "Do you like my earlier performance?"Her fans could tell that she was very shy. "We love it! It was so amazing!""I'm glad. That means all my hard work has paid off! If you enjoyed it, I'll organize something similar in the future. Anyway, how about we have a chat? You may ask me any questions you have since we don't usually have the opportunity to talk to each other like this."Melody selected some random fans to talk with. She wanted to talk with every fan that attended, but there was simply no

Once that was picked up by the media, Melody and Lucas would surely dominate the headlines."This doesn't look pre-rehearsed at all. Just look at how surprised they are," remarked one observer. "I'd venture to say that Mister Lucas's decision to watch her performance from the crowd means that he's trying to avoid the spotlight. But the slim odds of being selected caught him off-guard. I wonder what sort of question he'll ask?"Lucas had a stroke of inspiration and broached the topic of considering a singing career. "Your voice was incredible. You could become a singer."His words set the other fans abuzz. He was implying that he would arrange a record deal for Melody."Hmm, I haven't planned on releasing any albums. Perhaps in the future, if the chance arises," Melody responded. Acting still held her focus, and she had just only starred in one film. If she could not excel in her passion, then venturing into other fields might not be a wise decision.If her fans wanted it, then she

"Mister Lucas, I know you're here. Now that Melody says that she'll answer the question after getting your approval, do you agree to let her share the details surrounding your relationship?" the fan asked.Melody's expression soured when she heard that.Lucas was not a public figure, and Melody was always mindful to ensure he received his privacy. Even though he claimed not to mind, she tried to limit their outings to avoid the constant scrutiny from the paparazzi. She did not want Lucas to be thrust into the public eye because of her, and it scarcely crossed her mind that her own fans would cross the line.The girl who had called out to Lucas seemed undeterred by the disapproval from others and had an eager expression on her face. "Aren't you all curious?" she asked everyone around her. "I know I am. Besides, Melody herself said it. All she needs is his green light. A lot of people are speculating that Melody is receiving his backing, and the insinuation leaves a bitter taste in al
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2650
The rumors swirling outside would never affect the steadfast support from Melody's fans. However, they had to pay a steep price for giving that support due to the immense psychological pressure that they had to endure. While Melody wished that she could dispel every rumor, it was always wise to leave some rumors unaddressed."Please be silent for a moment and hear me out," Melody pleaded with her audience. "I understand that you might all harbor doubts about me due to the influence that magazines might have on you. You must've wondered why a rising actress like me would be linked to the president of Rivera Group, or if I've done anything that reprehensible. I'm sure you've thought about this before, right?"Melody's smile was tinged with bitterness and mirrored the distress reflected in her fans' eyes. They immediately shook their heads and denied her suggestion."Before you answer that question," Melody began, "I know how difficult it must've been for you to be my fan. We're strang

"This can't be happening. Why is there so much delicious food?!"The fans were ecstatic. In all their years of fangirling over celebrities, they had never met one that was considerate enough to arrange such a lavish feast for their fans."Wow, Melody really cares about us. I love her so much," one fan exclaimed emotionally."More like you love all this food," another teased."There's nothing wrong with that!" came the retort."Roast duck, here I come!"The fans spent an entire night at Melody's meet-and-greet. It was a treat to the senses, from the meticulously planned program to the delightful supper. Her fans spared no effort in tantalizing the taste buds of every social media user as they shared photos of the carefully prepared food that they were privileged to enjoy.The chefs were even on standby should the need to replenish the food arise. The supper was done extravagantly for the sake of ensuring that her fans left feeling satisfied.Unbeknownst to all of them, Melody re

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
