After saying what he wanted to say, Sherman got up and left, leaving Rita alone in her seat.
"What the hell is he talking about? When did I ever say I wanted to marry him? What happened while I was still in the hospital?' thought Rita, feeling as if she had been frozen to the spot.
Rita quickly summoned the waiter, settled the bill, and hurried home.
She had thought things through.
They had been through a lot together. They had shared hardships, and their relationship had progressed further. She never expected him to fall in love with her, but she liked him and hoped he would pay more attention to her.
However, she never expected this outcome. Her family had already blocked her path before she even had the chance to make Sherman like her.
"Dad, tell me honestly, did you go to see Mister Sherman? What did you do?" asked Rita.
Vince was caught off-guard by Rita's question. He stammered, "What do you mean, see Mister Sherman? Do you really think he's someone I can just go see whenever I want? Huh, you're really overestimating your old man."
Rita was frantic. Her father was still trying to deceive her! "Don't think you can fool me. Mister Sherman has told me everything. Just what the heck are you up to, Dad?"
"That's impossible!" Vince instinctively denied it. There was no way Rita would be still talking to him nicely if Sherman had really told her.
"I'll tell you everything when you're home. Just know that I'd never harm you."
Rita bit her lip. When would her father give up his selfish ways? He said he would never harm her, but because of what he did, Sherman would not even sit and have a meal with her.
What happened between them?
"Oh? Russell Group doesn't have any dealings with my company, so I'm not quite sure what you could want from me."
Sherman nodded. "A father should naturally think more for his children."
Sherman did not immediately grasp the situation and even chuckled softly.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
