The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 274
"Ugh, it hurts! Mister… Ouch..." Corinne's voice was trembling a little and she gritted her teeth to endure the pain. Her face turned pale, and she looked like she was about to keel over anytime.Jeremy stopped what he was doing, and his eyebrows sank. 'Why is she yelling when I haven't even done anything to her yet?' He never intended to do anything to her in the first place and merely wanted to give her a little scare as payback for her words to him."Where does it hurt?"Corinne frowned uncomfortably. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes were red. "My hands..."'Hands?' Jeremy glanced up and looked at the two little hands that he held in a tight grip against the mirror. His pupils shrank suddenly as he let go of her and brought her two hands down to eye level so he could check them.At that moment, Corinne's two little hands were red and swollen like two boiled lobster claws.Jeremy frowned tightly and asked her in a deep voice, "What happened? What did you do?"Cori

Corinne's throat felt a lot better after she drank a lot of water. She leaned against the hospital bed and asked Annie, "Why are you here?"Annie put down the glass before replying, "Uncle Jeremy called me and asked me to rush over to the hospital after buying a set of clean and comfortable innerwear for you. I came as soon as I bought everything."'Inner...wear?' Corinne felt embarrassed as she looked down at herself.She remembered being locked in the bathroom by Jeremy and getting drenched before finally losing consciousness. Although she was wearing a hospital gown, the underwear inside was dry and had been changed."... Who helped me change my underwear?" she asked with a frown.Annie said, "I did. I took off your wet clothes too!"Her answer allowed Corinne to heave a sigh of relief. She no longer felt as embarrassed as before and said, "Oh. That's good!"Annie added, "But he did help at one side since I didn't have the strength to hold you up and put your clothes on at th

"Uncle Jeremy! You're back!" Annie immediately got up from the hospital bed to make way for Jeremy as soon as she saw him appear.However, her expression froze when she saw Anya coming in with Jeremy, and she subconsciously turned her head to see how Corinne reacted.Corinne's expression remained calm, and there seemed to be no emotional changes at all."Did you just wake up?"Jeremy walked slowly to the side of the hospital bed. He stood in a dignified and relaxed posture, with his hands inserted elegantly in his trouser belt. His calm eyes were indecipherable as he gazed downward at her."Yeah." Corinne nodded, looked at Jeremy's handsome eyes, and shifted away without lingering too long on him as she looked at Anya who was by his side.The man could tell what she wanted to ask and turned around to look at Anya beside him. He then turned back to Corinne and said softly, "She wanted to see you."Annie stood to one side and let out a barely discernible cold snort from his nostri

Jeremy waited for further instruction from Corinne after hearing what Anya said. He knew that the little girl grew up in the countryside and had a relatively poor relationship with the Carews, but if she wanted to see them, he could grant her that wish."Thanks for your concern, but unfortunately, I don't have family," Corinne answered expressionlessly.Anya was stunned. "What? Umm... I'm sorry, Corinne. I didn't know.""It's no biggie," Corinne smiled and did not seem to mind what Anya said at all. Truth be told, it was better not to have a family rather than have one just like the Carews.Anya felt very moved when Corinne did not get angry at her, so she stepped forward and gently took one of Corinne's gauze-wrapped hands while remarking emotionally, "You have such a good personality, Corinne. We share a pretty odd fate too, considering we were both admitted to the hospital on the day we first meet each other! You can treat me like your sister from now on. Don't hesitate to look

Corinne did not say anything. She merely held the man's hand and looked at the man unblinkingly. All she gave him was a look, and it was up to him to decide what to do about it. After two seconds of silence, Jeremy turned his head to Annie and said, "Could you help me bring Miss Anya back to her room, Annie?"Annie was hardly pleased to hear that, but she was well aware of the situation at hand. If she did not go, Corinne would be unhappy because Jeremy would have to go. As Corinne's most loyal supporter, she could never allow such a thing to happen!"Okay, Uncle Jeremy. I'll send Miss Anya back to her ward as politely as I possibly can!" Annie then reluctantly walked up to Anya."Let's go. I'd have to be the one sending you because Uncle Jeremy isn't free right now."Anya's innocent eyes stared straight at Corinne's hand holding Jeremy, and she was stuck in a momentary daze before turning to look at Annie. "Do you know where my ward is, Annie?"Annie did not take it too serious

Corinne smacked her lips and said, "There is a cake I made for myself in the refrigerator at home. Could you please ask Tommy to get it for me? I'm craving it a little right now."Jeremy's expression turned cold. "Is that it?"Corinne nodded. "Yeah. That's it."Jeremy's complexion did not seem too pleased, but he gazed deeply at her and said, "If there's anything you want to ask, you can ask now. I'll tell you everything.""Nope." Corinne looked out the window at the sky and yawned tiredly to avoid looking at the man.She had nothing to ask, and since she was not his true wife, it would be annoying if she asked too many questions.Jeremy stared at her nonchalantly, and his jaw gradually tightened. Had it not been for her pitifully swollen little hands, he wished he could just pick her up and give her a good lesson!Her actions irked him, and he had no choice but to suck it up as he massaged his heavy eyebrows.Then, he pulled Corinne's small swollen gauze-wrapped hand and place

By the time Corinne woke up again, the sky outside the window was already dark.The side effects of the antihistamines injected into her system made her very sleepy, and she slept incredibly deeply at that time. However, her condition soon recovered somewhat, and she was able to sit up on her own.As soon as she sat up, her first instinct was to look around, whereupon she saw the tall figure of a man sitting on the sofa in the ward.She was startled, and when she looked closely, she discovered that it was Jeremy. He was sitting lazily on the sofa with a laptop on his lap. His forehead was supported on his hand, and it seemed that he was focused on some important work matters."You're awake?" His attention was clearly on the laptop, yet he knew that she was awake without even bothering to look up at her.Corinne frowned and asked in surprise, "Why are you still here?"Jeremy glanced at her, reached out for the coffee on the table, and took a sip. "Didn't someone tell me not to lea

'Oh, he didn't sleep a wink because he and Anya had spent the night experiencing the miracles of life!' Corinne remembered.Jeremy frowned when he saw the look of disgust on her face. "Do I disgust you? All men have beards, you know."Corinne came back to her senses, got up from him, and shook her head after moving a little away. "No. You look handsome with a beard."Whether or not he grew a beard had nothing to do with her, so the question of liking or disliking it did not arise."You think I'm handsome, then?" There was a surge of heat in Jeremy's expression, for it was rare to hear her say something nice about him.Corinne remained calm. "Your handsomeness is a fact. My opinion doesn't matter.""Is that why you are so cold toward me?""Am I supposed to be super friendly with you just because you're handsome? There are plenty of handsome men out there, so am I supposed to get close to all of them?"Jeremy's complexion darkened. He dragged her over, sat her down on the sofa wi

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
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2934
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
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2933
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
