The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2916
"Sadie's last semester's grades were passable but not outstanding, so I didn't mention it to your father. Of course, her grades aren't at a level where we need to worry too much yet. Besides, she has me to worry about her."I'm sure you know we mothers care about our daughters the most. I worry about every aspect of her life, including her education," Karen said deliberately, hoping to see Rita's expression darken.Regardless, Rita's mother was gone, while Karen was right there. Thus, what right did Rita—a girl without a mother—have to compete with Sadie?"Alright, since your stepmother said so, you don't need to worry yourself over Sadie. Aren't you busy with the newspaper lately? Instead of wasting time worrying about Sadie's grade, why don't you use that time on your work? Everyone has their fate. Even if we hire a tutor from Harvard for her, it won't help if she doesn't focus on her studies. So don't bother worrying about her."Karen did not like what she was hearing. She was a

Karen stayed in the marriage and endured the abuse day in and day out for Sadie's sake. She did consider running away with her daughter, but she knew that once captured, she would be subjected to even harsher beatings. Thus, she lost the ability to fight back and no longer dared to escape.Karen never imagined Esmond's departure would be so abrupt at the time. It was as if he had an awakening and took all the cash from the house before leaving their world. At that time, Karen often wondered if Esmond had died somewhere. Otherwise, he would not have spared her and her daughter so easily.Then, she realized he was probably fighting for territory with other thugs on the streets.Karen felt contempt at the time. Esmond's life amounted to nothing more than earning money through force. She would never touch that kind of money. The last time she contacted him was because she could not think of any other way to deal with Rita, only for that brat to escape again.Esmond had called a few tim

After all, if Sherman and Rita were to have a baby, he would cherish them regardless of gender. He would spoil the baby like a princess if it were a girl, and if it were a son… Well, he would spoil him just the same.Sherman smiled wryly at the thought. As long as it was his and Rita's baby, he could not possibly not adore them.Rita, unaware of Sherman's thoughts about their future child's gender, was grumbling on her end. "I hate it here. If it weren't for getting evidence, I wouldn't have come back. I'm losing my appetite more and more in this house. Even Donna's cooking can't save it."Sherman naturally felt distressed to hear that. "Then why don't you hurry out? Do you want to sit at the dining table until the end of time?"Rita was surprised. "Are you saying you're here to pick me up already?"As she walked outside while holding her phone, she smiled when she saw the car parked at the door. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I wouldn't have stayed for lunch if you had told me

Sherman had memorized Rita's schedule. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Rita would visit her father. She persisted in visiting even though it was difficult to get more clues from Karen. Thus, Sherman chose to pick her up from her father's home to take her out for dinner or somewhere else, to cheer her up."Yes, I'm going back today. I'll text you after I finish eating," said Rita."Okay, but text me when you're about to finish eating. I'll come over immediately.""No. I'll be driving today, so just send me your location. I'll meet you there.""That works, too."They did not immediately hang up the phone after making their plans. Listening to each other's shallow breaths through the phone, Rita felt that she was one step closer to happiness. "I'm going to start driving now, so let's hang up, okay?"Sherman replied, "No, let's keep it this way. I won't bother you."Thus, Rita did not hang up the phone. While she was driving, they occasionally exchanged a few words. It was just

Sherman quickly scrolled through his phone and dialed Vince's number, which had been blocked.Vince was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, which reported another world record broken by the Parr family. He was sour about it when Sherman suddenly called. He immediately sat up and answered the call happily."Hello, Sherman. To what do I owe this pleasure? Are you coming over with Rita to have dinner with us?"Sherman did not have time for pleasantries. "Rita is in trouble. Something happened on her way home!""What?" Vince exclaimed. "You must be joking, right? She's used this road countless times, so how could something happen? Maybe you just couldn't reach her because she had switched off her phone or it ran out of battery…"After the initial panic, Vince calmed down and sat back down on the sofa, trying to reassure both himself and Sherman on the phone. "Don't worry. We've traveled this road back and forth countless times, and there's also a security patrol, so I'm sure sh

Karen chuckled. "Sherman is probably joking. How could anything happen to Rita on her way home? Maybe she had an argument with him and didn't answer his calls, so he thought something happened."Vince, visibly impatient, replied, "Enough with the questions. Just wait at home. I told him the same thing when I called him, but he wouldn't believe me and even threatened me. I don't know if he even considers me as an elder!"Vince descended the stairs as he spoke, leaving Karen standing there with her arms crossed disdainfully.'Who in this family actually treats him as a real elder anyway? Doesn't he realize what an embarrassment he is by clinging to Sherman like a leech?'At times, Karen did not approve of Vince's behavior and would have scolded him already if it were not for the baby boy in her belly. However, it seemed like something bad really had happened since Sherman called Vince.Karen instinctively thought of Sadie. In case something unexpected happened, she needed her daught

'If he likes Rita that much, I might as well let her live. After all, we could benefit a lot from Sherman. But Sadie is right, too. She's alone now, so how could she even have the means to kidnap Rita? It seems I've been overthinking,' Karen comforted herself, hand on her chest.Meanwhile, Sadie's expression changed after hanging up the phone, and she briskly walked over to Esmond. "Mom called. You heard her, didn't you? She doesn't want anything to do with you. After you've settled the Rita problem, I'll find a way to arrange for you to meet with her, but for now, I have to go home."Esmond nodded. "I know I let you and your mom down before. Alright, sweetheart, you go home first. Daddy won't let you down with this matter, and I'll make sure it won't lead back to you."Sadie felt very unwilling when he referred to himself as her father, but she needed his help, so she had to bear with it for the time being.On the way back, Sadie's mood remained cheerful. She heard from Karen that

"Yes. So far, they haven't called or stated any ransom amount, but this is a very serious incident. My wife was taken on her way home, and I believe your officers understand what might happen next. Our only demand is to prevent the worst-case scenario. I want her back safe and sound, not a hair harmed."The lieutenant Sherman was talking to did not take the matter seriously, but upon realizing Sherman's identity, he immediately sat up straight. "I promise to ensure the safe return of your wife. We've mobilized a team to investigate and gather clues in the area."Sherman impatiently interrupted him, "Alright, handle it however you see fit. I just want her back safely."He hung up. Knowing he should not rely only on the police, he contacted the people who had some connection with the criminal world. He was not unfamiliar with unconventional methods, but some people were too arrogant, always thinking they could manipulate everything."Go find out if there's been any activity from Esmo
