The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Experience counted for a lot, thus Rita failed to outsmart her own father. Sherman's expression remained indifferent as he tapped twice on the table, silencing Rita.

"Enough, I don't have time to waste with you two. Rita, I'll marry you since my family has agreed to it. You just need to stay put at home and wait for me to marry you. As for anything else, well... You can just forget about it," said Sherman.

Rita looked at him with a mournful expression as he rose to leave, even pleading silently for him to stay. Alas, how could Sherman still trust her after being played by her and her father repeatedly? Vince, on the other hand, looked pleased as if his wish had finally been fulfilled.

"Ah, you two are so perfect for each other. Don't blame me for using unconventional methods. You two wouldn't have ended up together if I hadn't intervened decisively. Moreover, Rita has feelings for you. As for the wedding and other things, they're not important!"

Rita did not lift her head to look at Sherman anymore. She kept her head bowed, trying to hide all her pain. How could she ever hold her head high in front of him when she had such a disgraceful father? Even if he was willing to believe she did not tell her father about the meeting time and location, she did not want to explain anymore.

Ultimately, she felt guilty toward Sherman. He would not have been forced to experience all this if he had not met her or her family.

After all, Sherman came from a good background. Not to mention, he was young and handsome. The number of women who wanted to marry him could make a line from one country to another. He could have chosen a woman, but now that chance had been ruined by Rita. She had ruined the life of the person she liked.

Sherman left, and Rita still kept her head down. Vince naturally saw the large tears falling from her face into the cup in front of her.

"Enough, he's gone. You can stop your pitiful act now." His tone was impatient, making Rita doubt her ears. Was this what a father should say to his daughter?

With tear streaks on her face, Rita raised her head. "Dad, just how bad is the situation at home to make you resort to such despicable means to force someone who doesn't even like me to marry me? What were thinking? Didn't I say that if you let Sherman go, I'd go out to find capital for you? Is this really the only way to save the family?"

Vince frowned and replied impatiently, "That shows how naive you are! Do you have any idea how hard it is to raise capital? Who do you think you are, that people would just throw money at you? Only if you marry into the Parr family will they unconditionally support our family. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to consider the family, right? It's not like you're the only person in the family! Your stepmother is pregnant with your baby brother! Do you really want him to be born into a declining family? Plus, raising him will take a lot of money. He's a boy, after all..."Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Vince rambled on. All he cared about was providing a good life for his unborn son!

Rita covered her ears. "You don't

even know whether the baby is a boy

or a girl yet, and you're already preparing so much for them? Does it mean only a son is considered your child? Am I not your daughter? just want you to leave me with some dignity. In fact, I'd rather you ask me to borrow money from the Parr family instead of asking me to marry Sherman! Why do you have to resort to such means?"

"Why are you so hung up about what means I'm using? You like that boy, don't you?"
