The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2709

"Huh? Did I raise you just so you could talk back to me like this? And don't get me started on your job! It's not even a proper job! You're just exchanging five or six hours a day for a monthly salary of four hundred dollars! What's the point of that?

"And what's even worse is the whole world now knows I let my daughter go work as an errand girl! Do you know what my friend Neal said to me the last time we had coffee? He said that no matter how busy I am with my career, I should take good care of my daughter. I shouldn't let you run around and do this kind of work. I didn't know how to respond to him. Should I have said that my daughter was eager to experience hardships?"

Rita knew where her father stood in society. He would not be particularly understanding of the work of grassroots journalists like her, but she never imagined that her father would think of her like this.

"I'm doing the work of a journalist; it's a legitimate job. If you have nothing good to say about it, you can just keep quiet. I don't expect you to understand me anymore. Instead of wasting time thinking about all that, why don't you focus more on finding out why your wife and her daughter are so hellbent on wrongly accusing me of stealing a bangle? Dad, you really disappoint me."

After saying that, Rita did not even look back. She just left the mansion.

When Rita was born, Vince decided to include the syllable 'Ta' from his wife's name in her name. That was just how in love Vince and Taya were in love with each other. He had hoped that his daughter would resemble her mother more, but he never thought Rita would lose her mother forever at such a young age.

"Taya, is it because I am an irresponsible father, and that's why our daughter has grown up to be so rebellious? Recently, I kept asking myself whether I should've married Karen in the first place. Do you blame me too? I just wanted Rita to have a mother, but I did a poor job, and she still refuses to call Karen 'Mom'. If I hadn't done this, maybe Rita wouldn't be so rebellious."
