The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 377
Jeremy turned to look at Tommy and signaled with his eyes to drive the car over. He then looked back at the cheeky Corinne, patted her head, and cooed, "Yes, I know you're the most thoughtful girl in the world."This immediately elicited a pout from Corinne. 'I know he's giving in to me, but why does his compliment sound a tad bit insincere?' she thought.Jeremy first made sure Corinne got into the car safely before putting away the umbrella and following inside. Then, Tommy slowly drove the car away from the shopping mall.Corinne took out her phone to check the time and to reply to a few messages. She then thought of something, so she looked sideways at Jeremy and asked, "By the way, Mister, how did you know I was in that mall today?"Jeremy did not answer her question and instead grabbed one of the documents lying on the seat and started reading it.Corinne narrowed her eyes. It was rare to see Jeremy, who was usually one step ahead of everyone, acting so guiltily, so she delib

It did not take long until Jeremy and Corinne reached home.Corinne was exhausted after having been pestered by Sunny all afternoon, and since her belly was full, she wanted nothing more than to take a shower and sleep.Jeremy followed her upstairs, and the moment she put her hand on the doorknob, he reached behind her and placed his on the knob too so that the two hands laid on top of one another. It was as if he planned this.Corinne frowned and stopped turning the doorknob. She looked up at Jeremy and asked, "Mister, what are you doing?"Jeremy put his lips close to her ear and whispered, "I want to…"Corinne instinctively tucked her neck as he got closer. "What…do you want?" she stammered as if she had just seen a ghost.Jeremy moved his lips close to her ear again and whispered huskily, "I want to go in."His answer made Corinne think of dirty thoughts. The words 'go in' sounded so seductive coming from his mouth, so much so that she could not help but blush.Her entire bo

[Soul. What I want is for you to put your heart and soul into the design. This and the design must reflect Holden Group's commitment to providing value to the public. I didn't spend all that money to hire you just for your professional skills but also for the care you put into designing Crescent Building. Don't try to fool me with this hastily rushed design that looks flawless but has no soul. Moon, I can see that you're quite proficient in your designing skills, but you're not taking this project seriously.]Corinne was stunned, though she agreed with what Jeremy wrote. Indeed, she did not put her heart and soul into the design she sent him. Instead, she relied on her refined technical skills to come up with another soulless design.'Jeremy is right. I need to put my heart and soul into this, just like how I did with Crescent Building. Besides, it's reasonable for him to demand that I come up with a better design since he's paying a hundred fifty million dollars,' thought Corinne.

Bowen was surprised when he heard what Lilliana said, but he immediately put on a respectful and kind smile. 'So they're Ma'am's family! What an honor it is to have them come here! I need to make sure to treat them with the utmost respect.'However, he also reminded himself that he needed to make sure the three of them were who they said were. He could not just let anybody in without confirming their identity, so he said, "Please wait for a moment. I'll need to inform Ma'am first."He left the intercom and went upstairs to inform Corinne of the unannounced visit from her family. Even though Jeremy specifically asked him not to wake her up, he had no choice but to do so since everything happened so unexpectedly.…The knocking on the door woke up Corinne. She frowned and groggily answered, "Yes?""Ma'am, a middle-aged couple and their daughter who looked to be your age had come to visit you. They said they're your family, but I'm not sure if that's true, so I've come to ask you."

'Does she think she can do whatever she wants here, just because she's Corinne's sister?' thought the two servants.However, they had been trained, regardless of the situation, not to show their displeasure to guests, so the two of them respectfully led the Carews into the mansion.Sherlyn had been to the mansion's grounds before with Corinne, but this was her first time stepping into the mansion, so she was looking curiously at everything around her. However, she did not seem all too happy when she came to the inner courtyard.With the air of the woman of the household, she crossed her arms haughtily and looked down her nose at the inner courtyard's design. Then, shaking her head, she said, "This mansion isn't that bad, but can we do something about the old-fashioned design? I don't like this kind of Victorian-era style of decoration. We need to do some revamping once I move in."And that old pine tree over there has grown too big. It's blocking the sunlight from filtering into th

The two servants who led the Carews in approached Bowen and asked meaningfully, "Mister Hoover, are they truly Ma'am's family? Why do they act so differently than her?""Yeah. They seem to think the mansion belongs to them instead of them just being guests. Just now, they even said they're going to revamp the whole yard! They wanted to have the old pine tree cut down and for Mister Greg's precious orchids to be thrown out!"Bowen frowned, not understanding why the Carews behaved like that. "That's enough coming from you two. The two of you would do well to remember they're Ma'am's family. Instead of gossiping here, you should go make a pot of coffee and ask the kitchen to prepare some fruits and snacks for them. Remember: only the utmost respect for her family. We wouldn't want them to have a bad impression of their first visit here.""Yes, Mister Hoover," chorused the two servants in unison, and the two of them went to the kitchen.…Sherlyn leaned languidly against the expensive

Sherlyn stood up angrily. "Yeah! Is Corinne trying to make a big entrance? How dare she let us wait when we, her family, have come to visit her? She's probably guilt-ridden to face us. Well, I guess I just have to go upstairs and drag her down myself!"She then impatiently got up from the sofa and started to make her way to the stairs. Bowen frowned and immediately signaled with his eyes to the servant beside him to stop her.The servant blocked Sherlyn's path, which enraged her. "Get out of the way! Why are you stopping me?" she asked arrogantly.He remained standing where he was, not moving an inch.Bowen walked over to Sherlyn and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Carew, but only the residents of this house can go upstairs. As a guest, you need to remain downstairs. I do hope you can understand."Sherlyn obviously did not agree with him. "How dare you stop me? I'm not a guest at all! Don't you all know I'm the rightful wife of—""Sherlyn, why are you making all this fuss in the morning?"

Sherlyn smiled smugly when she saw how shocked Bowen was. "That's right. It's exactly as I've said. I'm the rightful Missus Holden, the woman that all you servants should listen to!"Bowen had been in all kinds of situations in his life, and he cultivated the skill to stay calm under fire. However, at that moment, he could not help but laugh out loud at the supremely confident Sherlyn. His laughter set off a chain reaction, and the other servants standing there burst into laughter as well.Sherlyn was made very uncomfortable by them laughing at her. She glared at them and snapped, "Hey! What are you all laughing at? I'm telling the truth!"Bowen then forced back his laughter and cleared his throat; he returned to his usual professional self. "I do apologize for laughing, Miss Carew, but it seems like you're still in dreamland. Might I suggest that you take a nap in any of the rooms of your choosing on the second floor?""Why you…" Sherlyn felt humiliated by Bowen. She wanted to ret

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
