The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 2904

Sadie then added, "Can't you see that things are still awkward between them?"

"I didn't notice that at all. All I see is how much they like each other," Karen responded helplessly. "You don't have to lie. I know they don't have feelings for each other. If Rita can do it, then why can't I?"

Karen sighed. "You're my daughter. I believe that you deserve the best, but you should at least look at the situation. What you said at the dinner table was inappropriate. You were already asking Sherman to visit more often when your father hadn't even said anything yet! If anyone finds out, you'll have a hard time finding a husband!"

"But I already found the man I want to marry. I want Sherman! You've been living the easy life for far too long, Mom. You've forgotten all those struggles we had to go through. Marrying Sherman would put Rita beneath me forever, and you'll finally be able to vent out that pent-up frustration."

Despite Karen's attempts to reason with her, Sadie remained fixated on Sherman. In Sadie's view, Karen should be inviting Rita back for more meals in the hopes that Sherman would at least come to pick her up even if he did not join for the meal. Over time, they would inevitably cross paths-an outcome that Sadie was dying to achieve.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Karen sighed. She finally experienced what it felt like when other parents watched their children grow up into adults who no longer heeded their elders' advice. As much as she wanted Sherman to be her son-in- law, she realized after their meal earlier that being his mother-in-law was not that easy.

Sherman brought Rita to the car, after which Rita immediately apologized to him.

"Is that all you can say? 'Sorry"?" Sherman asked flatly.

"Well... You wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation if you hadn't come to my place to save me." Rita sighed.

"Does your family do this to you all the time?" asked Sherman.

Rita was surprised at his query and said, "Isn't it obvious? My father has made things super difficult for me ever since I married you. There are times I feel ashamed to even show up in front of you..."

"That explains why you didn't tell me you were going home," Sherman said calmly, but Rita could sense how displeased he was.

"I'd love to bring you with me if our family dinners were normal, but you saw how quickly they demanded things from you even before you had the chance to finish a meal. Haven't they taken enough from you? They're insatiable, just like wolves! I've seen that firsthand from my father."

Rita's anger surged as she spoke, but Sherman's indifferent demeanor left her unsure where to direct her frustration.

"I have the money."

"I know, but you can't just waste it all like that. It's dumb."

Rita looked at Sherman in bewilderment, but he merely chuckled in response to her glance.
