Corinne read the chat and said, "They're your friends, so you make the arrangements."Jeremy glanced at her. "I can't."Corinne looked at him from the mirror and raised her eyebrows in puzzlement. "Why not? Didn't you go out drinking with them before? Just make the same arrangements as you always do.""I don't have any money," he quipped.Corinne was speechless. The make-up artist who was changing Corinne's hairstyle had a surprised expression and tried to hold in a laugh. What a shock to hear that a handsome, rich man could say that he had 'no money'!Corinne's lips twitched when she realized that Jeremy had given her all his bank cards. He did not have much money on his phone either."You make the arrangements then, and I'll pay for it," Corinne said considerately.That was what Jeremy had been waiting for her to say. He raised his hand and gently touched the tip of her nose. "Thank you for your generosity then, my dearest wife."The tip of her nose tickled slightly after he

Corinne nodded again. "I want to go home."Jeremy asked nothing else and gently hugged her shoulders instead. "Okay. Then we'll go home.""We?" Corinne frowned. "Aren't you going?"Jeremy gazed down at her. "No one is going to pay the bill for me if you don't go, so there's no point in me going."Corinne rolled her eyes at him. "I can transfer the money to you so you can make the payment."Jeremy said sternly, "Don't bother. I'm in no mood to drink with them if you're not with me. I'm afraid you'll run away again."'Seriously?' Corinne could not stand that reverse-psychology trick and felt as though Jeremy was trying to manipulate her."Fine. I'll go with you."Jeremy smirked, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "I know you're tired, but we'll go home as soon as I have a couple of drinks with them. I promise to let you sleep well tonight instead of making you toss and turn."When Corinne heard the phrase 'toss and turn', her face reddened in an instant, and the blush extend

Jeremy frowned when he saw the name on the screen but answered the call nonetheless."Jeremy, where are you?" Anya asked anxiously from the other end of the phone."I'm at Lunar Century Manor.""Oh… What are you doing there?" asked Anya awkwardly.Instead of answering her question, Jeremy asked, "Why are you calling me?""Umm… Joey has been puking and crying for you. I know you must be in the middle of something, but can you please come see him for a while? He really needs you right now," said Anya pitifully.Jeremy glanced at Corinne before asking, "What did the doctor say?""The doctor said Joey's physically fine. The puking is a normal side-effect of brain concussion…but I'm more worried about him getting traumatized by what happened. Joey really needs his daddy to comfort him right now."Jeremy fell silent, so silent that Corinne said to him, "You can go to them if you want."She did not need to hear their conversation to guess that it was Anya on the other side of the pho

"Yes! Drink it cross-arm style!" Zeke shouted.Jeremy did not mind that, but to show his respect, he raised his eyebrow at Corinne to ask for her consent. Though shy, Corinne did not want to rain on other people's parade, so after a slight hesitation, she linked her elbows with Jeremy's, and the two of them downed their glass in one go.Satisfied, Annie threw her head back and downed her glass in one go before leading the guests in a round of thunderous applause. The atmosphere in the room certainly reached its peak by then."Jeremy, Lucas prepared a special show for you and Corinne today. Which is so unlike him," said Zeke while clapping, and he smiled. "I can guarantee the two of you won't ever forget tonight."Jeremy looked askance at Lucas. 'This guy must be up to no good…'Corinne turned to look at Lucas curiously.Corinne was Lucas' long-lost sister. He felt like he owed her for the many years he was not by her side, and for…all the misunderstandings that occurred between t

"No, I'm saying even if you have the time to come find me earlier, you still wouldn't have a chance with me," Corinne answered.Jason did a double take before smiling ruefully. "You make it sound like I'm a horrible person…""You could be the best person in the world and I still wouldn't be with you. That's how much I love Jeremy," said Corinne serenely.Jason gazed deeply at Corinne's upturned side profile. "So he makes you happy, huh?"Corinne nodded. "Yes. And I wouldn't have it any other way.""Tell me, do you think he feels the same way as you? Is he not splitting his time with another woman?" Jason asked mockingly.Corinne finally turned to look at him with a frown. With his foxy eyes, Jason gestured for her to look at a place not far away. She followed his gaze and saw Jeremy sitting alone in the empty room with his ear glued to his phone.Only Anya would call him at a time like this."Well, it's not like he has a choice. I mean, Anya did save his life before. It'd be un

After hanging up the phone, Jeremy looked up and noticed Corinne walking toward him. "What's the matter? Don't you like the firework show?"Corinne sat beside him and said nonchalantly, "I do, but it was getting kinda boring. It was just one beautiful explosion after another, so I decided to come in."Jeremy narrowed his eyes and hugged her. "Did something happen? Why do you sound so unhappy?"Corinne was indeed unhappy with him for being on the phone for so long. "Mister, what did Anya say to you?""She wanted me to visit Joey 'cause he's having a fever.""Then why are you still here?" Corinne asked with a scoff.Jeremy could hear the sarcasm in her voice. "Why would I go there? It's not like I can cure him. Besides, I've asked my men to get the best doctor in the city to check on Joey.""Are you sure you don't know how to cure people?" asked Corinne with a sarcastic smile."Yeah. Why do you ask?" Jeremy questioned with a raise of his eyebrow."Well, I'm pretty sure you're th

Jeremy was still hugging Corinne, so he could not hold Joey. Instead, he said coldly to Anya, "Why don't you bring Joey to the guest room? It's not good for him to be out and about when he has a fever."Anya was angered by Jeremy choosing Corinne over Joey. "Jeremy, aren't you going to give Joey a hug? He's been crying for you nonstop. Oh, I get it now. You're worried about Corinne getting jealous, aren't you?"She then turned to Corinne and pleaded pitifully, "Corinne, won't you let Joey have some time with his father? He really needs him right now…"Jeremy was about to say something, but Corinne beat him to it. "Hey, I'm not the one keeping him from Joey. He's a grown man. He can choose who he wants to spend time with, and it just so happens he chose me."She leaned lazily against Jeremy and crossed her legs, treating him like a human-shaped armchair. "You surprised me today, Miss Anya. I've always thought you're a fragile woman, but it took you no time to run over her with Joey
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 761
Jeremy remembered how Anya sucked the poison out of his body, how she brought him food and medicine every day, and how cute she looked when she addressed him as 'Mister'.He held a special feeling for that girl ever since. It was not of love but of gratitude for saving his life. Even if he was blinded by the snake's venom in his body, he could clearly remember everything. Everything—except for the girl's look.Later, when Anya came to look for him with the bracelet at hand, he felt something was different about her. Not able to put his finger to it, he just chalked it down as him imagining things.Jeremy felt extremely guilty after learning Anya could not have children nor did her health ever recover from the snake venom she sucked out of his body. He tried to make it up to her ever since—but the one thing she wanted from him, he could not give.After taking a trip down memory lane, Jeremy shoved the bracelet back into Anya's hand. "My promise to you still stands, so take this brac

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
