Although Chester started shy, he quickly opened up a little. After all, he was the studious school hunk, so he had been to a lot of functions where it required him to put his best foot forward. He started to chat endlessly to Corinne about the new things that happened in school recently; not those vulgar gossips but some positive or hilarious happenings instead.To be honest, Corinne had no impression of the other students of different grades from her. She did not know most of the people Chester was talking about, but the stories he told sounded interesting, so she would ask him to elaborate more from time to time.That was until a certain man pulled out a chair and sat next to her. He exuded such a strong cold aura that it stopped Chester mid-sentence.Chester stared in astonishment at the man who appeared out of the blue, and a chill ran up his spine when he sensed the hostility washing over him. At first, he was puzzled as to who he was, but he immediately remembered seeing this

"Mister, how come you got off work so early today?" asked Corinne casually. There was none of the usual formality she reserved for those not close to her."I didn't have anything scheduled after my meeting, so I thought I'd come pick you up." Jeremy tucked her hair behind her ear. "Hmph! You're eating spicy food behind my back again?"Corinne pouted. "I can't help it… I was craving it."Chester's heart broke into a million pieces when he saw the interaction before him. He never expected the woman he had been pining for all these years to be married. He planned to confess his feelings to her right after he graduated so she could see the fine man he had worked hard to become. Alas, someone beat him to it.He sat back down again and smiled awkwardly. "When did you get married, Corinne?""Sometime before the graduation ceremony," said Corinne after thinking about it.'It'd be more accurate to say we were just business partners then…but no harm counting from that day onward since we'r

Corinne turned to face Jeremy. "Can't you tell your sister has a huge crush on Chester? I'm just making more opportunities for her to bond with him."Jeremy narrowed his eyes. "Isn't he the type of guy you used to like?""The type of guy I used to like? Mister, how did you know which type of guy I used to like?" asked Corinne quizzically."You told me yourself: you like men younger than you and who'll listen to you. Have you forgotten?" scoffed Jeremy.Corinne nodded in realization. "Ah, I did tell you that! I do still like men who are younger than me and who'll listen to me."Jeremy thought she would try to explain herself or spin some story to make him feel better, so he was understandably surprised to hear her admitting to it swiftly. His eyes dimmed, and his jaw tensed."Hmph! No wonder you treat me as if I'm invisible sometimes," he said coldly.Corinne lifted a piece of steak near Jeremy's mouth. "Mister, I know you're jealous, but who doesn't have a type when it comes to

Chester noticed Francine's discomfort, so he walked over and gently comforted her before reaching out to take the rest of the flyers from her. He could not bear to let her continue with the job.However, Francine insisted on finishing what she started. She refused to let go of the flyers and boldly introduced Chester's tutoring service to the impatient parents before politely passing them the flyers.Corinne raised her eyebrow when she saw this. "Hey, Mister, are you happy with the brother-in-law I picked for you?"Jeremy was surprised to see his arrogant little sister willingly letting down her pride to help a poor guy pass out flyers. However, the admiration on his face quickly disappeared when he remembered that poor guy used to covet his wife."He's okay," he answered coldly."He's the top student in his class, and both of his parents are intellectuals. Not only is he good-looking, but he's humble too. What's rare about him is he never flirts around. I mean, where can you find

Given Jeremy's evasive attitude, Corinne did not think it necessarily meant he did not want to get a marriage certificate with her before this. However, she was sure he really did not want to register their marriage when she heard his response at this very moment.The wedding they had was very simple. He invited some of his closest relatives for dinner as a symbolic gesture. Even his relatives knew tacitly that Jeremy only held the wedding as a way of pacifying his grandfather and that he was not serious about his marriage to Corinne.After all, what wealthy, powerful family would hold such a simple wedding like that? Therefore, not many outsiders knew Jeremy was actually married. 'He seems to not want other people to know he's married…' thought Corinne."Oh, come on, I was joking! There's no need to look so scared. It's not as if I want to get a marriage certificate with you anyway," said Corinne with a shrug.Jeremy frowned. "Who do you want to get a marriage certificate with if
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 889
Corinne did not think herself special or lucky enough to meet a man who would forever be loyal to her. She just found Jeremy to be different from all the other guys she knew. He made her feel secure, so there might be a chance their relationship would last. 'Oh well, time tells.'Today, she found out Jeremy was indeed different from all the other guys she knew, but not in the way she thought. He seemed to be tired of a relationship faster than any guy, and being more experienced than her, he even made sure to keep a way out for when he wanted to get out of the relationship.That night, Corinne—with her back against Jeremy—pretended to be asleep and did not turn around to face him, no matter how much he fondled or hugged her. As the minutes ticked by, she fell asleep and had a depressing dream.She dreamt she had been pushed into the well, just like when she was a child, and had no strength to climb out of the well. She tried shouting, but no one came. She was overridden by fear, but

Jeremy laughed. "Surely you can't call kissing you bullying you, right?""You didn't ask for my consent and only cared about what you were feeling, so yes, I'd call that bullying!" Corinne answered with a scowl.Jeremy felt sorry for her, thinking the nightmare must have scared her. He placed his forehead against hers and said gently, "There, there. I'm sorry for bullying you in and outside of your dream. Please don't be mad at me, sweetheart."The way he called her 'sweetheart' so seductively caused Corinne to tremble involuntarily. She looked into his eyes and saw there was only sincerity and love in them. She was about to ask him why he did not want to get a marriage certificate with her but told herself to forget it.Men were known to say anything a woman wanted to hear just to get them into bed, after all. Besides, it might make him think she really wanted to be legally married to him, or he might even say, 'Let's do it tomorrow if that's what you want.' That would make it see

Bowen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Francine. Ma'am has brought back your bag and instructed one of the maids to put it in your coatroom."Francine sighed in relief and stared at Corinne with a frown. "You're playing tricks on me again, Corinne!"Corinne casually ate and asked, "What time did you come home after distributing flyers with Chester yesterday?"Francine blushed upon hearing Chester's name and responded shyly, "Umm, some time past eight, I think?"Corinne pursed her lips. "There probably aren't a lot of students at the school gate by six, right? Where did the two of you go after that?""We didn't go anywhere. We just took a stroll!" Francine lowered his head shyly and continued eating.Bowen came over with a water bottle to fill Corinne's glass. As he did that, he whispered to her, "Ma'am, the bodyguards saw her eating at a roadside shack with a boy. The boy even kept her company until they reached home!"'No wonder Francine is this cheery. Things are going very

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
