The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2834

Rita blinked. "But what if something unexpected happens?"

Vince replied firmly, "None. Nothing of that nature will happen."

Rita wanted to ask if he would rush to her side if she, Karen, and Sadie were all in trouble, but she felt it would be too petty to ask. Seeing how exhausted her father was, she did not want to burden him further with such questions. Besides, she was afraid of his answer or hesitation.

Vince continued to comfort Rita until she fell into a deep sleep. This time, she slept peacefully until morning, perhaps because her father was beside her.

When Rita woke up, she felt like she had returned from another world. Vince kept his promise and stayed by Rita's side.

At that moment, he was standing by the window, sipping coffee. Despite not being very old, Vince had to admit that he was feeling the effects of the sleepless night. He would not have been able to keep up his energy during the day if it were not for the strong coffee.

"You're awake! Are you hungry? Should I have some food sent over?" Vince walked up to Rita happily.

"Thank you for taking care of me last night, Dad."

"No need to thank me. You're my daughter. Shall I have someone send in your breakfast?"

Rita nodded, but before Vince could call for someone, there was a knock on their door. Father and daughter exchanged a glance and smiled.

"Did you order breakfast in advance, Dad? How else could it arrive so quickly?"

As if fearing Rita would turn Karen down, Sadie quickly chimed in, "Yeah, Rita, you're quite weak right now, so you shouldn't skip breakfast. Mom was worried you might not want to eat what she made, so she asked Donna to make you something. Donna's skills are really exquisite. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't get to taste her cooking at home."

Sadie stuck out her tongue playfully, but it only made Rita sick to her stomach. Donna had followed Rita's mother to the Russells' home when she married Vince, so naturally, Donna leaned more toward them.

Her cooking skills were exquisite, and the food she made was incredibly delicious. However, Donna rarely cooked unless Rita expressed a desire for her dishes. Not even Vince received this treatment.

"Please thank Donna for me," Rita said politely.

She did not say she did not want to eat the food, so Karen naturally placed it in front of her.
