Why else would Sherman repeatedly bring Rita back to visit his family? His family was the most important thing in his life, and the public had no idea he was the scion of the Parr family. It was evident how much Sherman valued Rita whenever he brought her to attend family gatherings.
Unfortunately, Rita was too deep in her confusion to see that. She assumed Sherman only did that to show his family a loving relationship, even if it was fake.
"You might just be caught up in the moment, which is why you think you like me, but it's not real. When you calm down, you won't feel that way about me anymore. After all, what is there to like about someone like me? I'll only bring you trouble. Sherman, please don't ask me such questions anymore. I can't give you an answer."
Rita knew how hurtful her words were, but she had no choice. She could not ruin him with her selfishness. He was such a promising company president.
Her? The difference between them was too vast.
"I refuse to believe you have no feelings for me at all. If you don't like me, why would you say such things now? Are you turning me down because of your family?"
Sherman let go of Rita. He had always been unwilling to face his feelings, but after waiting for so long, he was not afraid to wait a little longer. He was going to force Rita to face the truth.
"I... I don't like you!" said Rita through gritted teeth, but she could not bring herself to look at Sherman.
"Oh? Is that so? Well, in that case, I'll go on a blind date tomorrow. Since we're going to get divorced sooner or later, it's better to find someone else now than to wait."
Rita was astonished by Sherman's ruthless talk about their future. "So soon?"
"Is it soon, though? I'll need to meet a few women in a day and then leave some time for our feelings to develop, so I'm afraid that I'll only find the right person by the time we get divorced."
Frowning in disapproval, Rita said, "Marriage is not a game. You shouldn't treat it so casually."

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...
