Vince could not see Sadie's smug smile since his back was turned toward her.
'Seems like Esmond has employed more reliable help this time, making the abduction swift and decisive,' thought Sadie. Out loud, she asked with concern, "Dad, have you called the police?"
Vince impatiently waved her off. "Enough, let's go back for now. Standing here won't bring Rita back. Sherman has sent people to look for her. I don't know if he'll call the police or not. If they've kidnapped her and he calls the police, it might put Rita in danger."
Sadie nodded. "You're right. Let's go back. Mom might be worrying about us right now."
Mentioning Karen reminded Vince that she was pregnant. He did not want to stay there either. After all, the people who had kidnapped Rita might target the others in her family as well.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about Rita's kidnapping. Let's go home."
As they drove back home, they saw Karen—her baby bump showing—standing at the door and anxiously looking around. She rushed up to them as soon as she saw them.
"Are you both okay?" She glanced behind Sadie. "Where's Rita? Is she really in trouble?"
Vince nodded solemnly and said with a frown, "Both you and Sadie stay home. We don't know if someone has targeted our family. Rita still hasn't been found, and no one has contacted us. I'm not sure what's going on."
"Have you called the police?" asked Karen.

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...
