The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2729

"Do you not trust me? Have you considered you might not be able to marry Sherman as you wish if it was anyone else other than me who goes to talk to your father about this?" Karen lounged back, her legs crossed, looking extremely proud.

Sadie immediately understood what her mother was trying to say. If she wanted to successfully marry Sherman, Karen would have to subtly influence Vince to make the match. Thus, it seemed like she had no choice but to tell her.

"Fine, I'll tell you. I happened to overhear from the kitchen door that the Parr family apparently owes the Russell family a favor from years ago. When Dad's father passed away, Sherman's grandfather even visited and promised Dad that he and his descendants could make any request to the Parr family."

Karen's mouth widened. "Oh, you clever girl! Good job on obtaining such a confidential piece of information. Seems like you're destined to be Sherman's wife. It's fate, I tell you!"

Sadie felt even more ecstatic after hearing Karen's words.

"Right? So, Mom, you don't need to worry at all. Just talk to Dad about it. The Parr family takes their promises very seriously. As soon as Dad brings up the favor to Sherman's grandfather, Sherman will have to marry me whether he wants to or not!"

"Sherman will probably be overjoyed if he knows he's marrying you! You're very beautiful, after all. We won't ever need the Russell family anymore! Don't worry, Sadie, I'll take care of this matter for you and arrange for you to be formally engaged to Sherman."

"Ugh!" Rita heard Karen's footsteps drawing closer and quietly slipped away. She waited until Karen disappeared into the depths of the corridor, toward her father's study, before silently following.

Karen chuckled lightly. "How could I not understand you after being married for over a decade to you? Every time you frown is because your head is hurting again. Could it be that none of those young gentlemen caught your eye?"

"It's not that they didn't catch my eye, but Rita... She's my daughter after all. I understand very well how kids from rich families behave. They may look decent on the surface, but who knows what dirty things they do behind closed doors? How could I bear to marry my daughter into such a family? Still..."

"Still, what? Do you have someone in mind? Vince, I'm not trying to rush you, but Rita is already twenty years old. Look at Lisa's daughter; she's already engaged and is the same age as Rita!"
