The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 2908

Why else would Sherman repeatedly bring Rita back to visit his family? His family was the most important thing in his life, and the public had no idea he was the scion of the Parr family. It was evident how much Sherman valued Rita whenever he brought her to attend family gatherings.

Unfortunately, Rita was too deep in her confusion to see that. She assumed Sherman only did that to show his family a loving relationship, even if it was fake.

"You might just be caught up in the moment, which is why you think you like me, but it's not real. When you calm down, you won't feel that way about me anymore. After all, what is there to like about someone like me? I'll only bring you trouble. Sherman, please don't ask me such questions anymore. I can't give you an answer."

Rita knew how hurtful her words were, but she had no choice. She could not ruin him with her selfishness. He was such a promising company president.

Her? The difference between them was too vast.

"I refuse to believe you have no feelings for me at all. If you don't like me, why would you say such things now? Are you turning me down because of your family?"

Sherman let go of Rita. He had always been unwilling to face his feelings, but after waiting for so long, he was not afraid to wait a little longer. He was going to force Rita to face the truth.

"I... I don't like you!" said Rita through gritted teeth, but she could not bring herself to look at Sherman. "Oh? Is that so? Well, in that case, I'll go on a blind date tomorrow. Since we're going to get divorced sooner or later, it's better to find someone else now than to wait."

Rita was astonished by Sherman's ruthless talk about their future. "So soon?"

"Is it soon, though? I'll need to meet a few women in a day and then leave some time for our feelings to develop, so I'm afraid that I'll only find the right person by the time we get divorced."

Frowning in disapproval, Rita said, "Marriage is not a game. You shouldn't treat it so casually."

"It's not like this is the first time I've treated marriage so casually, right? Are you trying to control me?" Sherman looked straight at Rita, but Rita eventually shook her head.

"Who am I to control you? You're right. We got married too hastily. You shouldn't do the same thing with your next wife, of course. You have to make sure to proceed in an orderly manner, from meeting, to getting to know each other, to falling in love..."

Sherman did not get angry at the things Rita was saying. He simply felt that Rita's family had a significant influence on her. She used to be so outgoing and straightforward.

She was reduced to being timid and cautious, even considering entering the entertainment industry just to pay off her family's debts.

He needed to resolve the Vince problem as soon as possible, or Rita might never hear a truthful word from him even when he grew old. However, when Rita suggested leaving the place, Sherman did not agree.

"Don't worry. Even if I get a mistress, I'll arrange for her to live somewhere else. It won't be worse than this place."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Rita felt bitter hearing that, but she was the one who chose this outcome, so she had no right to complain.

No one expected Sadie to approach Esmond on her own.

Esmond looked at the girl in front of him, who was practically a spitting image of Karen, with disbelief. "Are you really my daughter?"
