The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Sadie was bewildered by Karen's sudden barrage of accusations and naturally felt angered. "What do you mean? I was just trying to care for you, yet you don't appreciate it. Fine, from now on, I won't care about you anymore. Don't expect me to nurse you at your bedside when you have a headache!"

Sadie turned to leave, but Karen grabbed her arm. "Alright, don't be mad at me. Sigh. You don't know the whole story. Do you know why Rita mentioned Esmond's name in front of me? She was trying to test me!"

"What's wrong with bringing up a guy called Esmond? Do you know him?" Sadie frowned impatiently. "Haven't you heard what Rita said? This man is no good. Have you forgotten how we got into the Russell family? We cut off everyone from the past! Do you really want to rekindle old troubles and reconnect with people from the past?

"Don't tell me you want to throw away your peaceful life as Missus Russell? Even if you don't care about yourself, you should think about me, your daughter!"

Sadie paced anxiously, fearing Karen might foolishly reconnect with shady characters from the past, which Vince would never tolerate.
