The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 391
"An explanation is in order."Jeremy narrowed his eyes. His gaze was focused solely on Corinne, and he did not even bother to look at Sherlyn's shy expression. He stretched out his big hand, took the suitcase from Corinne, and handed it to Bowen, who stood beside him.He then asked, "What's all this fuss about?"As Jeremy asked that question, he placed his arms around Corinne's waist and pulled her into his arms, as if worried that she might leave for real.Corinne felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to hug her in front of other people, so she pushed his chest to try and break free. Alas, she could not do so, and she could only shrug helplessly as she spread his arms and began explaining."Well, it all started when you went to the Carews to fetch your bride, which you were supposed to do by going through the main entrance. However, you went through the back door and brought me away! Now that this secret has been exposed and they found out that you picked up the wrong p

Jeremy heard on numerous occasions that Corinne had a hard life in the past, but he never thought that they would treat her so terribly. As if having a stepmother and stepsister who treated her like that was bad enough, even her father did not seem to show any care for her.Jeremy looked down at the indifferent little girl in his arms and felt his heart tense up. He could not imagine how much suffering she had to go through in the Carews as a child to be able to act so indifferently in such a situation.After listening to the Carews' ludicrous statements, a cynical smirk appeared on the corner of his lips. "Why should you switch places with her? The woman I wanted to marry has always been Corinne, not anyone else."Sherlyn did not believe it one bit. She felt that it was Corinne's sweet talk and interference that made Jeremy confused."Mister Jeremy, how can Corinne be the woman you intended to marry? You can't believe a thing she says because she'll say all sorts of sweet words to

The person who burst out cackling was neither Corinne nor Jeremy, but Bowen, who had failed to hold himself back at that moment. Despite his old age, that was the first time he had ever seen such an ordinary-looking yet incredibly self-confident woman.It was truly an eye-opener!Bowen cleared his throat in embarrassment, suppressed his out-of-character laugh, and said, "Ahem. My apologies, sir. I'll go check if dinner is ready for you and the missus..."He then excused himself solemnly.Jeremy narrowed his eyes and glanced icily at Sherlyn. "In what aspect do you think you're better than my wife? Your character? Your intelligence, maybe? Or perhaps your image? Is there anything about you that can compare to even a single strand of my wife's hair?"His words severely hurt Sherlyn's self-esteem, and although she also knew that Corinne was frustratingly good-looking, she believed herself to be quite attractive as well. Otherwise, she would not have been able to enter the entertainme

A hint of coldness flashed across Jeremy's eyes as he heard Marvin's fickle remark.'How can someone like him be worthy of being a father?! Just what sort of family environment did Corinne grow up in?'Jeremy narrowed his eyes frigidly and said, "First of all, you need to live up to your position as a father to my wife, and then I'll show you respect and accept you as my father-in-law. You've been incompetent in your role as a father to Corinne, so to me, you're not even worth being treated as a human."Marvin felt intense pressure and guilt, still wanting to argue with Jeremy. However, as soon as he met the cold eyes of his 'son-in-law', he suddenly felt an unprecedented fear and his words were stuck in his throat. His son-in-law's attitude toward him had changed completely compared to before.When they met for the first time, the handsome and imposing young man still showed hints of respect and courtesy toward him, but all he could see in Jeremy's eyes then was an abyssal coldnes

Bowen understood Jeremy's wishes and turned around to inform the servants. After all those people cleared out, Corinne felt as if the air was fresh again as she pushed the man's chest."You can let me go now, can you?"Jeremy gazed down at her, but he tightened his grip on her instead of loosening it. "You want me to let go of a ruthless little girl like you so you can bring all your belongings with you and leave me behind?"Corinne frowned and looked at him. "Didn't you notice that my luggage bag is light? It's empty. I didn't pack anything inside at all! I was just pretending!"Jeremy noticed that there was something off about the weight of the suitcase, but he was still a little displeased and had a stern look in his eyes. "Why didn't you call me when they came over to harass you?"Corinne answered indifferently, "Weren't you at work? I didn't want to disturb you, and besides, it's not worth going through the trouble of abandoning your responsibilities at work just to deal with

Corinne sat down and waited for Jeremy to change into a fresh set of clothes. She felt a little bored, so she took out her cell phone and played a few games to pass the time.Half an hour later, Jeremy said to her, "I'm ready. Let's head out."She raised her head and was stunned to see him. It was rare for Jeremy to change into casualwear, and it was such a stark contrast from his business-like suits and leather shoes. Even his hair was not combed into his usual serious, mature, and meticulous hairdo, and there was a touch of gentleness to his determined expression."Have you had your fill of staring at me?" The man walked up to her and poked her forehead.Corinne snapped back to her senses, rubbed her slightly-hurting forehead, and placed her phone into her pocket.She curled her lips and asked, "Can't I look at you?"The man cocked his eyebrow. "If you like looking at me so much, then why'd you let me sleep in the study every night? If you let me sleep with you in the room toni

In her embarrassment, Corinne frowned and turned her head so she could whisper to Jeremy. "This is on you, mister! It's so awkward to come empty-handed to a birthday party, and it's all because you didn't tell me beforehand!"Jeremy did not take her comments seriously and reached out to pick up a barbecued meat skewer from the grill. He took a bite before handing it to her."You didn't give me a present for my birthday, so what makes you think I'll let you give a present to someone else?"Corinne was speechless at his response and took the meat skewer from him. As mature as Jeremy seemed, he was sometimes very childish in the sense that he placed too much importance on such trivial things.Indeed, it was because of a misunderstanding that she had with Jeremy over Anya's sudden return to China that led her not to give him a present. However, Annie insisted to bring her shopping and buy gifts. Though she did not buy the present on her initiative, she did buy one, but it later went to

Jeremy looked up at the people upstairs and nodded slightly before putting his arm over Corinne's shoulders to bring her upstairs.Corinne did not budge, and she shook her head while saying, "I'm going to wait here for the wings. I don't feel like going up there to socialize with you!"Jeremy did not force her and patted her head instead. "Okay. Take your time with the food then. I'll head up and say hi before coming back down to you."Corinne nodded, gave him an 'OK' gesture, and then took a bite of the delicious meat skewer that he just gave her.After Jeremy entered the villa, Zeke handed Corinne a bunch of barbecued chicken wings and had a meaningful smile on his lips as he said, "You did a pretty good job training such a difficult guy like Jeremy to be so submissive!"Corinne's lips twitched. "You're a pretty odd guy. It's your birthday, and you invited all these people over to have fun while you, the birthday boy, toil away at the barbecue just to cook some wings for them. D

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
