The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"That child is getting more stubborn. I asked her to come back for the dinner party tomorrow, but she kept making one excuse after another. Anyway, she agreed to come back," answered Vince.
"You should just be glad she's agreed to come back. It's not like you don't know she's an adult now, one with her own thinking. All kids will leave the nest one day. Plus, she must be especially busy now that she's interning at New Capital Times. What's more, she never once reveals to her colleagues she's an heiress. You need to give her some credit for being such a sensible girl," said Karen with a smile.
Vince held her hand. "The kids have grown up and flown out of the nest. Luckily, I have you by my side. I'm sorry for all the suffering Rita has put you through. She's not an ungrateful child; it's just that she misses her mother."
Karen patted his hand. "We've been married for so many years. How could I mind? I've also watched her grow up, so how could I not know what kind of person she is? There's no need to apologize. It's all in the past. I just hope she'll turn up for the dinner party tomorrow.
"I'm quite worried to see her burying her head at the newspaper agency, writing those trivial news articles while all my friends' kids are getting married. I might not have given birth to her, but that doesn't mean my love for her is any less than a real mother. I don't want to see her fall behind in life."
Karen's apparent concern for Rita greatly pleased Vince. "She's lucky to have a stepmother like you. Don't worry, I've talked to her. She'll show up here on time tomorrow evening."
"Well, that's a relief, then."
When Karen returned to her room, her face fell. "That little runt is just like her dead mother. I've tried everything to please her, but she's never once given me the time of day! She has already hurt her father so much by moving out as soon as she turned eighteen. Lord knows what worse things she's going to do in the future. I wouldn't put it past her to use some underhanded tactics to get all of her father's money!" Karen's personal servant chimed in, "Exactly! Miss Rita is getting more unruly. She hardly ever comes home! She doesn't behave like the other young ladies from other respectable families at all!
"Look at Miss Sadie, so well-behaved Her character is certainly commendable. Everyone praises you for being a good mother and raising her well. Neither you nor Miss Sadie has anything to worry about, Ma'am. From the way see it, Mister Vince has a lot of trust in you. He'll definitely give you half of his money when he dies."
"How can not worry given the situation? Look at the way he was just now, fretting over Rita just because she has moved out! At the end of the day, he still carries his dead wife in his heart!"
Karen sighed. 'That's just how men are. They always think the things they can get are the best.'
The servant remained silent. There were some things she could comment on, and this was not one of those things.
"By the way, where's Sadie?"
The servant immediately responded ingratiatingly, "Miss Sadie is out with her friends. She mentioned she wouldn't be coming back tonight but will be home promptly tomorrow morning."
