"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
Kisa tensed up and listened carefully to the noises outside. She heard the squeal of brakes in the courtyard downstairs. The sounds were jarring and pierced through the still of the night.'Who'd be getting home this late? Madalyn, George, and the kids are at home. No one's sick here, so it certainly won't be Kelvin. I'm sure it isn't Davian either, as Gilbert isn't here. Could it be...Gilbert?'Kisa got up quickly when thinking of this. She had no time to put on her shoes but hurried to the window, opened the curtains, and looked down.The lights in the yard were dim. However, with a glance Kisa could recognize that the man who got off the car was Gilbert, as she was very familiar with his figure.At this moment, maybe because of the guilt in her heart or some other reason, she turned and ran toward the door immediately. She rushed downstairs and opened the door.Gilbert saw Kisa appear at the door as soon as he turned around, and he was stunned. But his look of surprise soon tur
Gilbert noticed Kisa was not even wearing shoes while looking at her belly. She had just run downstairs in her bare feet, even though it was so cold at night.Gilbert hugged Kisa horizontally and said with a little reproach, "Why didn't you wear shoes?"Kisa was startled, then realized she was not wearing shoes. 'No wonder I felt some pain earlier.'"I forgot," Kisa said softly.Gilbert looked at her. He couldn't help but smile, "Were you that excited when you found out I was back?""Of course not!" Kisa denied it subconsciously. "I want to ask you quickly about the contract. Do you really plan not to punish me?"Gilbert carried her upstairs directly. After entering the room, he stared into Kisa's eyes and said resignedly, "I want to punish you, but I don't know how. I can't hurt or scold you.""You don't intend to kick me out of Kooper's residence?" Kisa asked again.'I screwed over GK's affairs so badly, but he's not punishing me at all. It doesn't seem to fit his ruthless pe
Gilbert came out wrapped in a towel with a puff of warm air around his body. He took a towel and wiped his hair casually a few times, then put the towel on the chair by the window.The man had walked over when Kisa stared at him closely and thought about how to tell him. He tore off the towel directly, then got into the bed naked.Kisa blushed and moved to the side immediately.The man pulled her back. "What are you hiding for? You've seen it before."Kisa's face turned redder when the man said it so bluntly. She pressed the quilt and separated both of them with it.Gilbert glanced at her movements and could not help but smile. He did not force her to stay close to him.'It's okay that she's not clinging to me. If she was, I might not be able to control myself.'He put his arms behind his head and said in a hoarse voice, " If you weren't pregnant I'd take you right now on this bed."Kisa bit her lip and could not speak out her explanation again. She squeezed her palms and looke
