The box went in a circle on the ground and bounced open as an expensive, refined men's watch dropped out of it. Kisa stared at the gift in astonishment. She pursed her lips and stayed quiet. She had picked a watch that suited Gilbert's noble temperament. But, he just threw it to the ground as if it was nothing, which reminded Kisa of the past where he dismissed her kindness every time, mercilessly throwing it to the ground. She used to feel sad about it, but there was nothing to feel sad about since she was no longer as sincere as she was before.Instead, a smile appeared on her face. "Look at you. I bought a gift just to coax you, and you're still mad. You're so hard to please!"Gilbert stared at her deeply. "Did I say I want a gift? How dare you leave me like that in public and have dinner with another man! Don't I deserve an explanation?"'An explanation? Hah. He never believed me every time I tried to explain myself in the past. So, I didn't think there was a need to explain mys
Gilbert's kiss was painful. Kisa could not help but hit him, but the man forcefully grabbed her wrists and pinned her down on the coffee table. There were several magazines on the table. Kisa's back hurt badly as Gilbert pressed her against the opened magazines. Kisa frowned and stared at the man. "What are you doing?!" she screamed. "I'm doing what married couples do!" Gilbert replied. As he said that, he stretched out his arm to close the curtain.Before Kisa returned to her senses, she heard the sound of a tear. Gilbert had torn her dress apart. She realized what the man was going to do and hurriedly covered her breasts as she smiled at him and said, "Please don't. I'm a little tired today. I want to wash up and head to bed early."Gilbert pursed his lips and sneered, "I didn't hear you complaining that you were tired when you went out with that man.""Gilbert, please. I've already explained myself. I was just trying to ask him... Ah!" She scrunched her face, and her eyes filled
Kisa looked at the time on her phone and saw that it was already past three o'clock in the morning. It was the time when people were asleep. The whole place was quiet. Kisa stood blankly at the door for some time and turned to walk toward the stairs. When she was married for the first time, she lived alone in the villa for almost a year. However, she was only in her room and the hall downstairs most of the time. She had not been to the other rooms in the villa.At that time, she did not know about the grievances between her mother and David Kooper. She also did not realize that Carolyn had a crush on Damon. So, she did not pay much attention to them during her time here. 'If only I had my hands on mom's diary earlier, I would have turned the villa upside down when I was living here. Maybe I could have found something about David and Damon then, and I wouldn't need to be so sneaky.''Everyone lives on the second floor. However, David and Damon were like a taboo to Gilbert, so there mu
"What are you up to?" Kisa froze with fright. When she realized that it was Gilbert's voice, she held her breath slightly and hid the wire up her sleeve. She then turned around to look at the man with a faint smile on her face. The man frowned, and His dark eyes sized her up as he said, "What are you doing on the third floor in the middle of the night?""I'm not doing anything. I couldn't sleep, and I was a little curious. So, I came up to have a look," Kisa said calmly. In the end, she walked to Gilbert, who had a gloomy and tense look on his face, with a smile and said, "I've received your punishment earlier. Have you calmed down now?"Gilbert did not respond. His suspecting gaze fell onto the door. 'If I'm correct, the woman seemed to be struggling to open the door just now. What's behind the door that is worth exploring in the middle of the night?' Gilbert pushed Kisa away and walked toward the door.Kisa frowned subconsciously. "What are you doing, Gilbert? I told you I couldn'
It was surprising that Gilbert did not try to choke her or yell at her. Kisa was also shocked that he did not force her to tell him the truth. She found that his affectionate and patient appearance looked quite authentic."I am telling the truth. You're the one who doesn't believe me," Kisa laughed. Gilbert looked hard at her brows and the curvature of her lips, not letting go of any minor tweak in her facial expression. After a long time, he took a light breath. "Come on!" He said as he let go of her hand and walked downstairs.Kisa stared at his tall figure in disdain, and a strange feeling of guilt appeared inside of her once again. She quickly shook her head to get rid of the guilt as she warned herself, 'That lost and sad look he has on his face is just an act so that I will feel guilty and foolishly tell him everything. It is just another one of his psychological tactics. It's what he is best at.'Kisa maintained the calmness in her eyes and followed the man down the stairs. "
Kisa screamed and reflexively closed her eyes, thinking that she would fall and crack her head.But, unexpectedly, a strong arm caught her by the waist, and the man quickly picked her up and steadied her beside him.Kisa patted her chest and was still in shock, as a slightly admonishing voice rang out above her head. "What's wrong? Did you forget how to go down the stairs?"She rolled her eyes at him as she internally cursed, 'If it weren't for you suddenly pushing me against the wall to teach me a lesson and then suddenly letting go, I wouldn't have lost my balance.'However, looking at the man's sullen face, she did not want to be calculative with him. So, she instead smiled at him and said, "Thank you. You're pretty good, pulling me back just like that."Gilbert said nothing as he walked downstairs with an icy look on his face.Kisa sneered inwardly.'This man sure is difficult to please. Even praising him doesn't make him happy.'When she returned to the second floor, Kisa
"Kisa, why aren't you at the set yet? Everyone is waiting for you."Kisa panicked and immediately said, "Tell the director I'm coming over right now."As she said that, Kisa took a glance at her alarm clock.'What the hell, who turned my alarm off? I remember I set the alarm for 7.30am.'Without any time to think, she rushed off into the bathroom for a simple wash-up.After changing her clothes, she grabbed her bag and went out.When she got downstairs, she felt a sharp and cold glance looking her way.Peering over, she saw Gilbert and Mrs. Kooper Sr. sitting at the dining table.And, Mrs. Kooper Sr. was staring at her with a gloomy and disgusted look.Kisa shrugged helplessly, not knowing what she did to cross the old woman this time.'Even though she hates me a lot, she didn't have to look at me like she wished she could stare me to death.'Kisa ignored her, nor did she look at Gilbert as she grabbed the strap of her bag and walked toward the door."Hold it right there!"
The woman had not taken breakfast for a good while, so Gilbert stuffed it into her hand before starting the car without saying anything else.'Why did he turn off my alarm?'It was naturally to allow her to sleep better.She would never know that she was still snoring away when her alarm rang in the morning.'She must be really tired if she's snoring like that.''And, she didn't even wake up after her alarm rang.'Seeing that she was so exhausted, he turned off her alarm without asking.In fact, seeing her so exhausted, he almost did not want her to go to the set to film. It was not like he could not afford to feed her.But, he also knew that she would definitely refuse him if he asked her to quit acting and become Mrs. Kooper to enjoy the luxuries of life he could offer her with peace of mind.He suddenly missed the other her from before so much.She was obedient and would often humor him, unlike now, where she was completely heartless. He could not get a good grasp of her a
