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
Davian clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were red. "What about all those nights before? Why did you keep bugging me then?""Because it was fun at the time." Felicity pulled her fingers through her long hair and sneered, "Didn't you keep saying I was bugging you? Are you trying to deny what happened that night? Yeah, well, I think it's pointless. We're over, Davian. From now on, I'll treat you like we've never met before.""Felicity!" Davian suddenly grabbed her arm and yelled. There were tears welling up in his eyes as if he was about to cry at that moment.Felicity was annoyed when she saw that. 'I like tough guys, not guys who cry!'She pushed the man's hand away, disgusted."Go away! Never come near me again!"After she finished yelling, she followed Ronald into the car.Davian watched as the car sped away; his eyes were so red that it was like he was crying blood.Felicity stared at the pillar-like figure from the car's rearview mirror without blinking.She took a d
"It seems like Mr. Kooper cares about you very much."Kisa turned around subconsciously and saw Adrien standing behind her.Adrien's face had a tinge of sarcasm.For some reason, Kisa felt a little disgusted after looking at him.In the beginning, Adrien treated her pretty well. He was like an elder to her and he looked after her too.Kisa had always respected him considering the fact that he was her mother's friend.However, she felt like Adrien had become a completely different person after getting together with Carolyn."Mr. Tanner, you're here."Kisa still talked to him politely despite what she thought of him.Adrien breathed out a swirl of cigarette smoke and looked in the direction where Gilbert left. Then, he chuckled and said, "Indeed, people change. Even though Mr. Kooper did a lot of things to hurt you back then and he even tried to murder you and your baby in the prison by setting it on fire, he's become a better person now. Just look at how gentle he is to you. It
Adrien said to Kisa, "Jensen did so much just to find out the truth about the fire back then. Then, something like this happened to him just because he was trying to protect the warden. He wouldn't have done everything for you and ruined his whole life if he knew that you'd get back together with Gilbert."I just feel like whatever he's done isn't worth it. Just think about what I said," he continued.Adrien left before Gilbert could make his way to them.Kisa stood there in place.It was true that she was getting too comfortable in Gilbert's bubble and that was ironic.Gilbert glared at Adrien's back and asked, "Why is Mr. Tanner here? What did he say to you? Why does your face look so weird?""It's nothing."Kisa replied flatly and went to the middle of the set.Gilbert grabbed her arm. "Have some water first.""It's fine. I don't feel like drinking.""Just have a little bit, here...""I said I don't want to drink!"Kisa was very annoyed by how Gilbert forced her. She rai
"What's wrong?"Gilbert's tone sounded a little rough.Kisa pursed her lips and said flatly, "It's no big deal. I just want to visit a friend."The man turned around and left without saying anything after hearing what she said.At first, Kisa thought that he had gotten mad and was going back on his own.However, she was surprised to see the man turn his head back to look at her after walking a few steps. "Why are you still standing there? Come on, I'll take you to see your friend."Gilbert's face looked emotionless, and his tone sounded very flat too.Kisa bowed her head down and walked behind him.Then, they arrived at Jolina's place.Kisa turned her head and said to Gilbert, "Just wait for me in the car. I'll go up and have a look."Gilbert did not say anything.Kisa then went out of the car alone after she said that.However, Gilbert followed her as soon as she was about to go up the stairs.Kisa slightly arched his brows. "What...""It's too boring in the car, so I'll
Madalyn being excessively concerned for her made Kisa feel very uneasy and strange.Kisa withdrew her hand from Madalyn and said awkwardly, "Yeah, I'm fine."Madalyn scoffed scornfully after looking at how uncomfortable she felt. Then, she shifted her gaze to Gilbert, "Is she really okay? Did you bring her to the hospital for a checkup or something like that?""Why would I do that out of the blue?" Gilbert chuckled and spoke.Madalyn wanted to ask more questions.However, Gilbert smiled and interrupted her, "Grandma, we're both really hungry. Let's go inside and have dinner.""Oh, yes, yes... We've got to let her eat."Madalyn spoke as she hurriedly went into the house, "George, tell the maid to start serving dinner now."Kisa looked at Gilbert strangely.Gilbert said flatly, "Come on, let's wash our hands and eat."The man went into the house before Kisa after saying that.Kisa shook her head confusedly. She could not understand what was happening with Madalyn again.'Why
