Kisa was even more speechless when she heard that.'Is he trying to threaten me?' she wondered."...Mmm," she hummed expressionlessly and returned to the sofa.Davian saw that she was unhappy and quickly explained, "It's not that I don't trust you, Mrs. Kooper, but GK got screwed over badly the last time. I'm just afraid..."What Davian said was understandable. Kisa waved her hand at him and said, "Okay, I got it. I won't touch his stuff. You can go about your business peacefully.""Alright, Mrs. Kooper. I'll head out now. Just call me if you need anything," Davian said and went out of the room.Kisa leaned on the sofa. She was not angry but rather amused.'Davian is so loyal and devoted to him. If he were to choose between Gilbert and Felicity, he would probably choose Gilbert.'Kisa could not help but laugh when she thought about it.'But I haven't seen Felicity in such a long time. Is she back in Athadale? I mean, Gilbert brought that woman back from Athadale.'Kisa sat on
Gilbert scowled fiercely, as if someone had just discovered his deepest darkest secret.He pulled the photo album out of her hands and shouted at her coldly, "Who told you to take this?"Kisa was startled by all the yelling. Once again, she thought that he was extremely unpredictable. He could act all gentle and considerate toward her at one moment and yell at her like she was his enemy the next. His unstable emotions and mood swings bewildered her.Kisa looked at the photo album in his hand and asked in a low voice, "W-Wh... Why do you have that?"In that album were their wedding pictures. Under Madalyn's insistence and orders, Gilbert had taken wedding photos with Kisa. He had been extremely unwilling to do so, and his face was dark the whole time. They had taken several pictures, but Gilbert did not look at them at all back then. Instead, he left to meet up with Sara after their photo shoot, leaving Kisa alone at the bridal shop to be ridiculed by others.At that time, the phot
Gilbert frowned instantly and stared at Kisa irritably. "Yeah, yeah. I had it made just to disgust myself. Now, eat!"'She never believes it when I said I liked her, so I guess the idea of me secretly creating that album is pretty ridiculous, from her perspective.'Gilbert had asked the photographer from the bridal shop to make him that album after Kisa 'died'. Since neither of them had wanted those pictures at first, they had been deleted.It had taken Gilbert a long time to recover some of them, which he then made into an album. Gilbert would look through the album whenever he missed her, but it then brought him endless pain, grief, and despair after some time. So, he decided to just put the wedding album on the top shelf of his bookcase, thinking that he would just forget about it.However, he did not expect that Kisa would find it.Seeing the man inexplicably losing his temper, Kisa did not say a word. She just ate her food in silence with her head low.The food from the rest
Gilbert threw his pen onto the table, tugged at his tie irritably, and said in an irritated voice, "I told you not to look at it. Didn't I say that some things should be left in the past?"Kisa took a slight breath and asked him sadly, "Why bother making an album if you didn't want to take those pictures?""I must've done it on the spur of the moment," Gilbert snorted. He did not tell her that he did so because he missed her.'She's never believed in my sincerity. She'd just mock me if I told her the true reason.'Kisa smiled sadly. "I think you were afraid you would forget the hatred and dislike you had for me. You got these photos done because you wanted to remind yourself of that."Gilbert was mad when he heard her say that. "Whatever," he said angrily. The atmosphere in the office was getting more and more depressing. Kisa closed the album. Although looking at the photos stirred up some unpleasant memories, she still wanted to keep the album.She hugged the album in her arms
Davian's tone was not nice. He still harbored resentment toward Kisa. After he went into her office, he waved the secretary off. The secretary glanced at Kisa and took her leave. Kisa looked at Davian and said, "No, I did not do any of this. In fact, I didn't even know about any of it."The contracts were all signed with Risen Enterprise under the name of GK Pictures. It was stated that Risen Enterprise would take 100% of the benefits, while GK had to give up profits and subsidize its own profit.Because these contracts were not major, Shaun did not have to ask her permission to sign them; he could just stamp them himself for them to take effect. As for the previous contract, Shaun had to trick Kisa into signing it because the interests involved were too great.Now that she thought about it, Shaun had been pulling all kinds of tricks behind her back, causing GK to lose profit in the process.'From Davian's tone, Gilbert must have known about Shaun all along. But why didn't he punis
Although Gilbert's attitude was uncompromising and his expression was cold, Kisa still felt a little bit of warmth from his actions. After returning to the villa, Gilbert asked Kisa to go upstairs and rest, and told her that he would bring her dinner. Madalyn did not get mad at her either and just let her rest instead.Kisa was surprised by their irregular attitude but did not bother to know why. Since they were treating her well, she decided to just accept itFor dinner, Gilbert brought her various dishes and some bone broth. Kisa looked at the small coffee table that was filled with food and looked at the man amusedly. "How could I possibly finish so much food?" She said."Don't be modest. I know you have a great appetite," Gilbert replied expressionlessly.Kisa's face darkened. "I had a big lunch because I was hungry.""You ate a huge breakfast too.""That's because...""Alright. It's not a shameful thing to have a good appetite. Grandma and I would be happier if you ate more
Gilbert looked up at the man in the video call and said, "What? Is there anything else you want to tell me?""Uh... Well... D-Did Felicity Jennings return to Athadale?""Felicity?" Gilbert frowned slightly. "Speaking of her, I haven't seen her in such a long time," he suddenly continued."Does she... Does she have a boyfriend?" Davian asked again as his whole face wrinkled.'The last time I saw her playing poker at the club, she was getting rather intimate with this one guy,' he thought."No, I've known her for several years, and I've never heard her say anything about a boyfriend," Gilbert shook his head and replied."Could you please help me get in touch with her, Mr. Kooper? She hasn't talked to me for several days now."Gilbert frowned again. He fiddled with the watch on his wrist and said casually, "Davian, I've introduced the girl to you. Whether you can make her fall for you depends on your own ability. Felicity is a good girl. You should take more initiative before someo
Kisa responded to Gilbert in a blur. It was cold outside, but the temperature in the house was rising steadily. At some point, her nightdress was unbuttoned, and she shivered slightly from the head of the man's body. Just as she fell asleep again, the man suddenly stopped kissing her and helped her put on her nightdress.Kisa looked at him blankly, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were teary. "What?" She asked in a low voice, feeling inexplicably disappointed. It turned out that she still subconsciously longed to be close to him. This made her feel contradictory and uncomfortable, so much so that she even despised herself a little.Gilbert kissed her forehead and said, "Go to sleep. It's late."Kisa did not say anything. Instead, she just turned her back to him. She did not know what was wrong as tears fell down her cheeks. She was feeling incredibly sad. Gilbert stared at her thin shoulders for a while and reached out to turn off the light.After that, he held Kisa in his arm
