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
At night, after taking a shower, Kisa leaned on the headboard while reading a magazine.She thought that Gilbert would go to his study and work for a bit after showering. However, she was surprised to see him walking to the bed directly after coming out of the bathroom.Kisa quickly moved to the side, leaving a huge space on the bed for him.The man had looked emotionless for a few days, but she could feel that he was not in a very good mood.Kisa figured that he might still be angry at what happened several days ago.Kisa had no plans to cheer him up.Even though their dreary way of getting along with each other was a little suffocating, they could not find a better way to do it.After all, she was filled with contradictions and conflicts. She just could not figure out how to face him.So, she thought that it would be better for them to ignore each other like this.Gilbert gazed at Kisa's cold face for a second before he lifted the blanket and sat on the bed.There was about
Kisa booked a flight ticket to Athadale in advance and her flight was set to take off at ten o'clock in the morning.She woke up very early that day.However, she could never find herself waking up with Gilbert still sleeping beside her.The man would always wake up earlier than her.The weather began to turn colder, and she could already feel the chill running through her body in the morning.Kisa wore a rather thick winter dress and covered herself with a beige coat.She saw Gilbert and Madalyn there when she got downstairs.Gilbert immediately squinted as if he was not happy with what she wore when he saw her.Kisa was confused. 'Didn't he buy me this set of clothes and demanded me to wear them?'Why doesn't he look happy at all now that I'm wearing them?'"Why are you dressing up so early in the morning? Do you have somewhere to be?"Gilbert asked when Kisa walked to them.His tone sounded so distant as if he was talking to a stranger.That was when Kisa realized that
Gilbert narrowed his eyes toward the end of the sentence.Even though he did not finish the sentence, Kisa could clearly feel the threat in his words. She was left speechless.'Who are they to restrict my freedom?'The point was, she could do nothing to resist their restriction.Gilbert went to the office after breakfast. Once he left, Madalyn glared at Kisa, her eyes blazing with malice. Kisa pretended not to see the murderous look in Madalyn's eyes and continued to have her meal. After the meal, she went out. Fearing that Gilbert could trace the location of her car, Kisa went out on foot toward the courtyard instead of driving.Madalyn stood in the courtyard, watching as Kisa disappeared through the entrance, and then she snorted, "If she wasn't carrying the Kooper family's offspring, I wouldn't have cared about her. She's really pissing me off."George smiled and asked, "Would you like me to send a bodyguard to follow Mrs. Kooper?""Never mind, you'd better not. She might get
