The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 2924

Vince had not expected to hear those words from Sherman's mouth. Genuinely incensed by his words, Vince spat in the direction Sherman had departed.

"Pah! Who does he think he is? How dare he speak to me like that! How could Rita have turned out so well if I had raised her like a stepdaughter? I provided her with everything she ever wanted ever since she was born. The fact that Sherman was able to marry her was all thanks to my pleading and insistence! And he still dares to say I don't care for her? What does he know about caring for her?"

Vince paced angrily, his frustration mounting. 'Just who the heck did Sherman think he was? I'm his father-in-law, yet he looks down on me? If he's so high and mighty, then he might as well not marry my daughter! How can he accuse me of not worrying about Rita when she's in trouble? Of course I'm worried! He's making it sound like he's the only one who cares about Rita in the whole world. What's he playing at putting up such a loving act in front of me? Who does he think he is?'

In a fit of anger, Vince decided he would not bother with this matter. He would return home.

'Rita's already married, and with her husband so anxious, it seems there's no use for me to worry about her anymore,' thought Vince.

Unexpectedly, he encountered Sadie on his way back. Instinctively, he asked, "Where have you been? Don't you know that your sister is coming home for dinner tonight? Couldn't you have been back earlier? I have no other responsibility toward you. Bringing you home is the limit of my kindness. How can you not care about Rita? She's still your sister even though she's married, you know!"

Vince was seething with anger, and he vented it out on Sadie when he bumped into her.

Sadie had just smiled at him, only to be subjected to an unwarranted scolding.

"Dad, how could you say I don't care about Rita? How could I not care about my sister? I only went out to hang out with my classmates. I wanted to come back around one in the afternoon, but they insisted there were new materials in the library, so I went to check with them didn't expect to be delayed until now."

Sadie looked at Vince innocently. "By the way, what are you doing out here? Did something happen?"

Vince looked back at her, thinking that there was no use venting his anger on her, no matter how much he bottled up. "Alright, let's go back for now. Rita might be in trouble." He waved his hand dismissively, but Sadie was genuinely shocked.

"Dad, you're not joking with me, are you? Didn't you say Rita is coming home for dinner tonight? How could she be in trouble all of a sudden?" She even asked with a smile, but seeing Vince's expression, her smile gradually disappeared. 

"Dad, just what happened to Rita exactly? How could anything happen to her when she's so close to home? Where is she now?" Sadie got out of her car, and her first reaction when she saw Rita's broken car window was thinking, 'Did Rita get into a car accident?' 

"Which hospital is she in now? We should hurry to the hospital. If she's had an accident, we can't just leave her alone."

Vince shook his head. "It would be easier if it were a car accident. The thing is we don't know where she is."
