The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 2881

"You can do that again. You're only possessive of me because we've known each other for so long, and your feelings have turned twisted."

Claire suddenly became agitated. "You don't know me at all, so don't tell me what my feelings are for you! I like you, I love you! When I chose someone else back then, I had my reasons. If I could've stayed, I would've stayed. Don't forget, it was me who fell for you first. No matter what, I'm willing to love you more. You can't deny that.

"Life played a cruel joke on me. Every time I wanted to choose, it made me lose something as important as you. But when I finally realized my mistake, you chose another woman. Sherman, can't you give me another chance? Or did you marry Rita just to spite me? You two barely know each other. How could you spend your life with her?"

Claire cried uncontrollably, wetting Sherman's chest with her tears.

It was heart-wrenching for Sherman to see her like that. He could not help but urge Rita, "Did you call the ambulance?"

Rita nodded earnestly. "I just called, but they'll take some time to get here. Has Claire's bleeding stopped?

"You don't need to pretend to be sympathetic, Rita. Whether my bleeding stops or not has nothing to do with you! You probably wish I'd die here so you wouldn't have to compete with anyone for Sherman's love.

"Miss Claire, why would you think like that? We have no grudge with each other..."

"Huh, no grudge? You stole my man. How is that no grudge?"

Rita frowned. Even though Claire was injured, she felt the need to defend herself. "I never wanted to compete with you for him. But if you two weren't together from the start, why couldn't I marry him? Claire, you need to figure out whether your feelings for him are love or possessiveness."

"Why you!" Claire struggled to sit up, but Sherman pressed her back down.

"Are you crazy? You're still bleeding."

Sherman's concern, however, made Claire feel like she had found his weak spot.

'So I was right. He doesn't love Rita at all. At the end of the day, I'm the one he cares about the most,' thought Claire.

Claire returned to his embrace. "My head hurts so much. Is the ambulance here yet? Am I going to die, Sherman?"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

People around whispered, "If she was afraid of dying, why did she run into the pillar in the first place?"

"You don't understand. She didn't hit the pillar for herself. She did it to show Sherman. If she wanted to die, she wouldn't have done it in front of everyone like this. She's just trying to make Rita's life difficult."

"I don't think Rita can compete with this woman. Look at her, just standing meekly there. She should speak up for herself!"

As everyone continued to whisper amongst themselves, the ambulance arrived.

Before leaving, Sherman exchanged a glance with Rita's supervisor.

"Don't worry, Mister Sherman. You have my word that what happened today won't get leaked."

Only then did Sherman carry Claire into the ambulance. As soon as they were inside, medical personnel began treating her wounds, leaving Rita standing alone, watching the ambulance drive away.

"Stop right there, Rita. Where do you think you're going?" asked Lenny authoritatively, which was a stark contrast to how he had behaved toward Sherman a few moments before.

He seemed impatient. "Aren't you afraid that by causing such a scene, our newspaper is going to be in tomorrow's headlines?"
