"Rather than letting my grandparents and parents be sad just to please you, why not put on a little act for them to reassure them?"
Rita immediately shot back, "That's not what I mean, and I'm not just trying to please myself. One lie leads to a thousand more lies to cover it up. Yes, we've managed to deceive them today, but how long do you think we can do that? Do you expect us to live as a fake couple for the rest of our lives?"
Sherman glanced at her indifferently, his eyes clearly indicating that as long as it made his family happy, what was the harm?
"You... You're unreasonable. Lies can't become reality, nor can we lie for the rest of our lives. I just think we should stop lying to them while they're not too deep into it yet. This way, we can spare everyone future pain."
Especially for Rita, who had not felt much warmth at home. She was afraid she might develop unwarranted feelings for Sherman's family since they were such loving people.
"I know what you're thinking, but don't forget that you were the one who said you wanted to repay the money my family loaned your family. So how can you complain so much when I'm only asking you to do something so simple? How can I count on you to repay the debt? You might as well just tell me to take my losses. You've really got it all figured out, haven't you, Miss Rita?"
As aggrieved as she felt, Rita decided to stop arguing. After all, her father was the cause of all this. "Fine, it was foolish of me to suggest such a stupid idea. Just pretend I didn't say anything. Just tell me what you want me to do, and I'll act accordingly."
Leaning against the car window, Rita looked so small despite wearing such a large coat. Naturally, the two did not stay in the same place together. Sherman simply dropped her off at her apartment.
After this comment was posted, many social media users joined in the mockery.
After the last swift action by Parr Group's legal team, everyone could see that Sherman did not want anything to do with Claire.
No one knew what methods Claire had used to get the paparazzo to take photos of them together.
However, Sherman's methods were also swift and decisive. Anyone who dared to leak that photo would face immediate legal consequences.

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...
