The man's serious expression made the huge popcorn in his arms look out of place.'He even looks a little... cute,' thought Kisa.Gilbert walked up to Kisa. He saw the corner of her lips curve upward but did not know what she was thinking. She seemed pretty happy.'If she's happy, I'm happy too,' he thought.He handed her the tickets and said, "Let's enter the venue.""Mhm." Kisa took the tickets.She peered at the huge bucket of popcorn and asked in amusement, "You didn't have enough to eat just now?""I did.""Then, the popcorn...""I bought it for you. Isn't everyone buying it?" Gilbert said and looked around them."Mhm..." Kisa nodded and secretly compared the size of their bucket with other people's. Then, she said to the man, "Was there a need for you to buy such a big bucket?"'Thankfully, he's the one holding it. If I were to hold it instead, it would probably cover my entire face,' she thought.'Oh!' thought Gilbert.He was startled."I just told them to get me t
Kisa held her unfinished soda conflictedly."I don't want to go home yet," she whispered.Gilbert glanced at his wristwatch and frowned, "It's almost ten o'clock. What do you want to do if you don't want to go home?""I... I'm hungry. I want some supper!"Gilbert glanced at the bucket of popcorn that was practically untouched."You're... Hungry?" he asked doubtfully."Mhm!" Kisa nodded furiously, "Let's have some meat skewers."Gilbert crossed his arms across his chest and side-eyed her. "I assume you're not trying to exhaust me because you're worried that I'll do something to you when we get home?"Kisa laughed awkwardly, "How could I? You're so strong your energy could never be depleted.""You bet!" the man snorted. However, he still agreed to her request. "Alright. We'll go for meat skewers."It was Valentine's Day, so the streets were packed with people even at this hour.Gilbert led Kisa to an alley. The alley was crowded from one end to the other.The food stalls ther
"You didn't prepare a romantic candlelight dinner, and you brought me here to crowd-watch? How insincere of you, Davian. For goodness sake, it's Valentine's Day!"Davian defended himself in an aggrieved tone. "I can't cook, and the restaurants are all overcrowded. So, I have no choice but to bring you here. Besides, there's a variety of food here for you to try.""Can't you learn ahead of time if you don't know how to cook? Couldn't you have booked a private room ahead of time if the restaurants were overcrowded? You're insincere. Stop making excuses. It'll only make you look more guilty!"The two started arguing the moment they sat down.This time, Kisa was on Felicity's side.'That's right. It's Valentine's Day. Since you've decided to spend it with her, you need to be more sincere. Take a look at Gilbert; he knew he had to book a private room ahead of time. Davian's genuinely lacking compared to Gilbert. Even though Gilbert's probably faking it... Davian isn't faking it, even f
"Why would it?" Kisa said with a surprised smile, "We were the ones who invited them, so we were embarrassed to interrupt the both of you.""Mm, If Davian and I were to argue, you'd be too embarrassed to interrupt too."Felicity laughed as her gaze fell onto the big bouquet of roses, " Oh, these flowers are so dazzling. Mr. Kooper, where did you buy them? Someone said that all the flowers at the florist have been sold out!"Davian stared at Gilbert glumly, "You really are the greatest. You even brought such a big bouquet of roses here for fear of others not knowing how great you are!"Gilbert squinted his eyes and glared back at him, "Who else can you blame except yourself for not having the ability to coax and make women happy?!"Gilbert was ultimately his superior. All it took was one chilly glance from Gilbert for Davian to immediately became a wimp. He merely went over and sat down.He looked at the flowers in Kisa's arms, but the words he said were meant for Felicity, "Mr. K
Kisa clutched her bag strap, "Why aren't we returning to the Kooper family home?""It's already morning. What happens if we wake grandma and the kids when we return?""But..." Kisa still wanted to say something, but Gilbert had already bent down to carry her.Kisa quickly shrunk back, "Alright, alright. I'll get down the car myself."She pushed Gilbert away and walked down from the car on her own.Gilbert's private residence was tranquil, with no servants. The door opened, and with the light shining in from the yard, the inside of the house was surprisingly not very dark.Kisa fumbled to turn on the lights, but before she could do so, Gilbert suddenly pinned her body between his chest and the wall.Gilbert chuckled and said in a low, husky voice, "After stalling for so long, you can't run off this time, can you?!""W... wait for a bit. Turn on the lights. We... we should shower first.""What's the use of turning on the lights!?" Gilbert smiled dubiously, then his long arms wen
Davian listened to his subordinate's report and hurriedly got up to put on his clothes. Felicity glumly stared at him, "What happened?"Davian ignored her, as if he did not hear her question. In a flash, he got dressed. He picked up his phone and dashed toward the door before remembering Felicity's presence.He promptly said to Felicity with regret, "S...something happened at the company. I'm going over to handle it."Felicity's face fell, and she pulled over the blanket to cover herself and huffed coldly, "Go then. Go, and don't come back!""Okay, then you should get some rest," Davian finished speaking, and closed the door, foolishly presuming that he was being considerate and gentlemanly toward her.Watching the closed door, Felicity furiously threw a cup at it."Davian, you prick. Don't you even dream of ever touching me again in the future! "Kisa woke up at midnight and felt very thirsty. The man next to her was sleeping soundly. Kisa moved away his hand from her waist, an
Gilbert immediately grabbed Kisa's throat and gritted his teeth, growling disappointedly, "Since the start, what have I been to you in your heart?"Kisa was afraid that Gilbert would lose his mind and hurt her in anger. Hence, she tried to explain herself. "You shouldn't misunderstand. Last time, I said my current status and situation are unsuitable for bearing children.""Not unsuitable but unwilling. You're afraid the baby's sudden arrival would destroy your plan of getting close to me, right?"Kisa widened her eyes widely and hurriedly shook her head, "Of course not. What are you blabbering about?"Gilbert was only trying to probe by purposely speaking like that just now. However, Kisa's reaction made his heart heavy and anxious. He forcefully swung Kisa onto the sofa. Gilbert suppressed his anger and said, "You'd better not be lying to me. If not, I won't know what crazy actions I would resort to."Gilbert's voice was calm, as if not having any emotion. Yet Kisa inexplicably f
The car windows were dark. Kisa leaned onto the car's windshield and looked around for a long time. She could not clearly see if there was anyone inside. She tried to pull open the car doors and actually got them opened. She hurriedly gave a thorough sweep of the car interior. No one was in the car, but the car keys were still in the ignition and had not been pulled out yet.Kisa scrunched her brows in suspicion. What she was able to confirm was that Gilbert came back during the last half of the night.'However, how did Gilbert leave silently? Could it be that he was afraid that I would not be able to call a cab, so he purposedly drove the car back to leave it for me?' She thought.Thinking about it now, she immediately shook her head. It would be impossible for Gilbert to treat her so considerably. Not to mention, when Gilbert left last night, the aura of hostility surrounding him made it seem as if he wanted to kill her.However, she still searched high and low around the house,
