The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 2781



Chapter 2781

Sadie immediately put on the appearance of a dutiful daughter and asked with concern, "Mom, are you feeling unwell? I noticed your complexion didn't look good when you sat down. Should we call Mister Morris to come and take a look? Dad, don't you think Mom looks unwell too?"

Vince nodded. "If you're unwell, just quickly call Morris to come and have a look."

Karen forced a smile and said, "I'm feeling just fine. I just accidentally dropped a spoon. It's no big deal. But it is getting colder lately, so you all should dress warmly and take care not to get sick. All I wish for is for this family to be safe and healthy."

Rita kept her head down and did not say a word. She was biting into a chicken wing, which no one else in her family liked to eat, given how little meat there was. Donna, the cook, would specially cook chicken wings for Rita wherever she came back home.

'Seems like Esmond is an old acquaintance of Karen's, since she reacts so strongly whenever he's mentioned. Karen, oh Karen, you're about to be exposed!' thought Rita.

"Mom, I know you care about us, but you also need to take care of yourself more," Sadie said worriedly, but Karen just hoped she would shut up.

"Alright, I'm already an adult, and I know my own health very well."

Sadie choked up at this. She did not understand why Karen was so impatient.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Okay, Mom. But remember to let us know if you feel unwell," said Sadie.

Karen, despite her impatience, managed to keep her calm.

Since she had said she was fine, Vince did not pay attention to her anymore. Instead, he turned to Rita and asked, "Who were you asking about again? The name sounds familiar."

"Oh, it's Esmond Parr. Recently, I've been investigating a case related to this man, so I wanted to see if any of you knew him. But it's probably better if you don't. He's caused a lot of families to become homeless, and he'll eventually face punishment."

Vince nodded with disgust. "How could we know such a dirtbag? No wonder you're investigating him. People like him need to be harshly punished through legal means!"

Karen's face turned pale. Eventually, she could not bear it and left the dining table early.

Rita, being 'kind-hearted', followed her and asked, "Karen, are you really okay? You should see a doctor as soon as possible if you're not feeling well."

Sadie glared at her suspiciously, unsure of what this woman was up to. "No need for you to worry, Rita. I'll take care of her if she really feels unwell. Dad, I'm full too. I'll go see if Mom's okay."

Vince nodded. "Take good care of your mother. If she needs anything, just call Morris over."

"Yes, Dad."

When Sadie knocked and opened Karen's door, she saw her sitting on the corner of the bed, hugging her arms and lost in thought.

"Mom, what happened at dinner just now? You looked like your soul jumped out of your body when Rita spoke. Don't tell me you're afraid of her."

Karen frowned deeply and looked at her daughter angrily. "When are you going to use that brain of yours? I even hinted at you not to mention my health anymore, but you kept bringing it up. Now even your father

is asking about my health when I'm as healthy as ever!"
