Gilbert stood up with a swoosh. Kohen held onto his laughter and looked at him, "What are you doing?""I'm going back to Calthon!""That won't do. The affairs of our collaboration have yet to be discussed properly. Didn't we agree on staying for a few days?""I cannot stay for even a second more. I must go back to Calthon immediately!" Gilbert said and walked to the entrance in vast strides.Kohen playfully twitched his lips and said to his back, "If you go back to Calthon now, then the contract we signed yesterday will be null and void. Don't expect me to help you anymore.""Whatever!" Gilbert said without turning back his head. Then, his silhouette disappeared from the door frame.Kohen chuckled, saying, "From what I see, Kisa is about to sabotage him to death. He would still not be willing to hurt even a hair on that woman.""This shows that he truly loves Ms. Becker very much," Eylul said and suddenly chuckled quietly, "Ms. Becker actually is quite blessed."Kohen furrowed
Anthony opened the door to Lea's room. He had always had the keys to the house. When the door opened, the room was pitch black, and he could not help but frown. 'Is that woman not back yet?' he thought as displeasure filled his heart. He held a phone that was calling Lea in one hand while the other turned on the lights.[Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable.]"F*ck that b*tch! She must be out with other men right now!" Anthony cursed as he flipped the switch.When the lights came on, he saw Lea huddled in the corner of the room. He was taken aback by her sudden appearance."God!" He cursed and walked toward Lea. "Are you f*cking crazy? Why didn't you turn on the lights, and why did you turn off your phone? What are you trying to do?"Lea curled up without saying a word. She looked like she was going insane. Anthony irritably grabbed her and said, "Are you mute?! I am talking to you!"Only then did Lea look up. Her face was as pale as a ghost. Anthony frowned as he utt
Lea's already pale face turned even paler. "Please, Mr. Mullen. You're so rich and powerful; I'm sure you can find any pawn or woman you want. Please let me go. I just want to go somewhere secluded and live a good life. Please...""Shut up!" Anthony growled, irritated.He pulled off his tie and threw it on the coffee table as he yelled at her coldly, "You don't get it, do you? Only I can abandon you. You want to go to a place where there is no one else and live a good life there? Fine. We'll talk about that after I get tired of you."After he finished speaking, he rushed toward her, pressed her against the sofa, and ripped her clothes off."No, Mr. Mullen. Please, don't..." Lea cried out when she realized his intentions.Anthony narrowed his eyes and said, "Why are you trying to get away from me? Why are you rejecting me? Do you have another man out there?!"The man's face looked cold and scary. Lea was frightened. "N-No... It's just... M-my relatives are here.""Your relatives
"Slow down. Why are you in such a hurry? There's plenty of food to go around. Are you that scared that you won't get any?"Kisa was startled when she heard Madalyn saying that so suddenly and slowed down.'What is up with grandma today? Why does it feel a little weird here?'"Walk slower, Ma'am. Don't fall," Andrew said as he went to help her. Blake also came over to support her. One of them was on the left while the other was on the right, like they were helping an elderly cross the road. 'What is going on here?' Kisa thought. 'Not only is grandma acting strange, but the kids are also acting weird too.'She then sat down on the chair. Madalyn served her some soup and said, "Eat up. It helps with the body." Kisa looked at the bowl of soup that was handed to her and finally took it after a long time. "Thank you, but my body is fine," she said politely."Oh, if you say it's fine, then it's fine?" Madalyn replied with a serious look on her face. "I didn't cook it for you anyway. Eat
George was quick on his hands and feet. He brought a glass of water in a matter of a few seconds. "Here you go, Mrs. Kooper."Kisa hurriedly grabbed the glass of water and felt puzzled as she drank it. 'I just choked on some food. It's not like I'm a newborn baby. Why are they so worried?' she wondered."Great-Grandma, will the baby in Ma'am's tummy be okay?""Pfft—" Kisa was so startled when she heard Ada's words that she spit out a mouthful of water. Mrs. Kooper Sr. gently patted her back anxiously and said, "What's the matter? Did you choke on the water this time?""Cough, cough, cough..." Earlier, Kisa had choked on her food, but this time round, she choked because of chock. She could not stop coughing, and her face flushed red."You're an adult, yet you can't drink water properly? Don't hurt my future great-grandchild with your cough," Madalyn voiced out in a panic.After saying that, she looked at George and said, "Quick. Call Kelvin to come and have a look at her. Quick!"
"Don't you lie to me. The doctor gave you prenatal pills. There's no way he would ask you to move around more. Do you think I've never given birth before?""Of course not. The prenatal care pills are just for backup," Kisa lied. "The doctor said that regular exercise can promote the development of the fetus and make me stronger, which will help with the birth."Madalyn glanced at Kisa in suspicion."If you're worried, you can send a bodyguard with me when I'm out. My show is coming to an end; I can't just leave the production," she hurriedly added.'This will deceive her,' she thought.'I'm going to the hospital to get proof that I'm not pregnant tomorrow. She'll believe me then. There is no way I will be grounded and forced to stay in this house tomorrow.'"I think what Mrs. Kooper said makes sense, Madam. Being locked up at home every day isn't good for the baby, and pregnant women should get fresh air every day. I think it's best we listen to her and get a bodyguard to follow
It was less than half a minute from when the bell rang until the three servants came in. Kisa wondered if they lived next door and paid constant attention to the bell."Ma'am, are you hungry?""Do you feel unwell?""Ma'am, how about I get some food for you?" The servants walked out as she spoke.Kisa stopped her hurriedly. She held her forehead and asked the three servants, "When was this bell installed?""Ma'am, Mrs. Kooper Sr. asked someone to install it immediately after she read the newspaper. Besides, the mat in the bathroom and other furnishings in this room were all ordered by Mrs. Kooper Sr. and arranged after she learned you were pregnant."Kisa shook her head. She said resignedly, "Alright, I got it. You may leave now.""Ma'am, is there anything we can do for you?""No.""We're leaving. Ma'am, you can ring the bell if you need anything. We're living just right next to you."Kisa closed her eyes speechlessly, "Okay, I got it."'Jeez! All this fuss was made over the
'Turns out Andrew and Ada's mom was just an unknown woman who had sexual relations with Gilbert while he was drunk. No wonder Gilbert refused to tell me who Andrew and Ada's mom was. So that's the parentage of the two kids.'For some reason, Kisa took pity on Andrew and Ada in her heart when she learned of their parentage.'It turns out their first existence was not recognized or expected by the Kooper family. Moreover, their mom... abandoned them for money.'Madalyn looked out of the yard with a walking stick and sneered, "Yes. That woman was sensible. She didn't come to make trouble for so many years. As for the reason why Gilbert didn't mention their mom in front of the kids, it's probably because he didn't want to make them sad."George nodded, "I understood." He said quizzically after a pause, "However, the day when Andrew and Ada were born was also the day Ma'am had an accident in the prison. Ma'am lost Master Gilbert's child, but Davian sent Andrew and Ada here on New Year's
