The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Vince helped Rita sit up. "Donna knows what you like to eat the best. She would've rushed over here in tears if I hadn't told her you need some quiet to recover."

At the mention of Donna, Rita smiled. "Please tell her that I'm feeling better. I don't want her to worry."

At that moment, Karen tactfully suggested that Rita move back home.

Rita quietly nibbled on the pastry, appreciating the familiar taste of Donna's cooking.

Vince did not immediately speak up, so Karen continued, "Rita has been through so much, and her body is still weak. How can she take care of herself? It's better for her to move back home where we can all take care of her. Plus, she'll recover faster if she gets to eat what she likes. Right, Vince?"

Vince nodded but did not decide for Rita. "Sweetheart, would you like to move back home? If you don't want to, I can have Donna bring a few people to take care of you at your place for a while."

Rita looked at Karen, who was definitely scheming something. Suddenly, she smiled. "Thank you for your offer, Karen. I'd love to move back home for a bit after I'm discharged. That way, you all don't need to worry about me."

Karen gritted her teeth, never expecting Rita to agree. Vince was also somewhat surprised. He had mentally prepared to send a few of the household staff to Rita's place to take care of her, yet she took up on Karen's offer.

"You've really matured, Rita. I certainly feel more at ease if we could take care of you at home," said Vince.

Rita nodded with a smile. "Dad, I know everyone's just worried about me. Everyone has things to do, and if I stay at my own place, you'll surely keep worrying about me. So it's better for me to move back home. It's just that... I don't know if Karen will welcome me."

Karen could only smile reluctantly in response "Oh, don't be silly. Why would not welcome you? Weren't I the one who suggested you should move back home? You can ask your father if you don't believe me."

Vince nodded. "Indeed. Your stepmother has always cared a lot about you."

Rita scoffed inwardly. 'Huh. She cares about me so much that she keeps digging a trap for me to fall into!'

Rita had nothing to say for the rest of the time, and the three of them began chatting like a real family.

Vince suddenly remembered and asked, "Did you come to the hospital for a check-up yesterday? You mentioned feeling unwell." Karen immediately smiled shyly, while Sadie looked at him happily.

"Congratulations, Dad!"

"What are you talking about? Your mother isn't feeling well, so why are you congratulating me?" As soon as he finished speaking, Vince looked at Karen with a look of disbelief. Could it be what he was thinking?

Karen nodded. "Darling, we're finally going to have our child."Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Vince still could not believe it. He grabbed Karen's hand and asked her repeatedly if it was true.

He had always wanted a son, but for

so many years, Karen had not been able to conceive. He thought it would become a regret in his life, so he was quite shocked to leam of the surprising news at his age.
