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
"It doesn't matter if you're not hungry now. Send me your location, and I'll go look for you. It will be about lunchtime after we hang around there for a while.""But..." Kisa struggled to find an excuse, "You're so busy with work. Better get busy with work first. I will take a cab to your place by myself later.""It's okay. I'm not busy.""But then you'd have to spend a lot of time traveling back and forth. It'd be more convenient for me to take a cab to your place by myself."Gilbert could not help but frown with suspicion when she repeatedly refused. "You aren't in a park, are you?""How can that be? I'm right here in a park.""Alright, then send me your location.""It's not convenient for me now. Just wait," Kisa said, desperate to hang up the phone."You're definitely not in a park. Where are you now?" His voice turned cold at once."I'm really in a park. I will take a few selfies for you to see if you don't believe me," Kisa said and hung up the phone, then sent him all
With that thought in mind, he opened the file and continued to work but was somewhat absent-minded. Finally, around eleven o'clock, he got up, stood by the window, and looked down. There was not a single cab downstairs, let alone Kisa. He wondered if she had charged her phone. Hoping for the best, he called her again. However, her phone was still off. He frowned, feeling uneasy again.Just at that moment, Madalyn called him on the phone. "Hello, Gilbert. Did that woman go to your place?""No, she's still taking a stroll in the park.""Impossible. I sent someone to look for her at the nearby park, but they couldn't find her," Madalyn said, getting worried. Earlier, she was afraid that something might have happened to Kisa, so she sent someone to look for Kisa at several nearby parks. But, Kisa was nowhere to be found. That was why she called Gilbert to see if Kisa had gone to his place. However, Gilbert did not see Kisa either. 'What should we do? That woman always roams around. What
Kisa took the bag. "Thank you," she said and quickly opened the vomit bag and threw up. She had vomited during the takeoff, but it was much better. This time, it felt really terrible as her stomach was churning like crazy. Hearing the voices of disgust around her, she quickly wiped her mouth with a tissue and then tied the bag up. She decided not to wear the mask after vomiting.The young man beside her saw her face and curiously asked, "Are you the actress named Kisa or something?"Kisa's face was pale, and she smiled feebly at the young man. "You think it's possible for a superstar like her to throw up so miserably here without even a bodyguard around?"The young man nodded. "You have a point."As they spoke, the plane touched down and started taxiing. Kisa kept breathing in and out to relieve herself. The plane came to a stop and the cabin door in the front opened after taxiing for a while. As she was sitting in the back, she did not get up but waited. She heard the sounds of ph
'Isn't that Anthony? My God, that young man is really a member of the Mullen family. No wonder he mentioned his grandfather's birthday party while talking on the phone just now. So, does this mean that Mr. Mullen Sr. is the young man's grandfather?'The car drove away after the young man got into it. Kisa stared at the pendant in her hand for a long time as a thought flashed across her mind.Inside the car, the young man, Arthur Mullen, held his backpack and smiled at Anthony. "Thanks for picking me up, Uncle Anthony."Anthony grunted, "If I don't pick you up, who will? How can I let you take a cab back? You are too precious to your grandfather."Arthur smiled even brighter. "Uncle Anthony, you treat me the best.""Come on, stop flattering me. Your grandfather likes you the most. Don't forget to put in a few good words for me in front of him later," Anthony said absently.Arthur shook his head. "Nah, Grandpa likes you too. He says you are better than my dad."Anthony snickered a
"Didn't I already tell you? My phone battery died. My phone just regained some battery after I found a charging outlet at the mall," Kisa said.Gilbert did not believe her. He stood in front of his desk, and his fingers almost crushed the edge of the desk into smithereens.But, he held back his anger. "Send me your location. I'll go find you.""There's no need for that. I'm done, and I'm about to leave soon. It'll be really late if I wait for you to come here."Gilbert took a deep breath. "You better not lie to me!""Why would I? I wouldn't dare lie to you," Kisa lied through her teeth.Gilbert gritted his teeth. "Alright. Half an hour. I'll let you have it if you don't come back in half an hour.""Okay! Okay!"Kisa nodded and quickly hung up.'It's better not to leave my phone on,' she thought.Then, Kisa turned off her phone.'That way, it'll be quieter. Once I find a place to stay and get some proper rest, I'll tell him the truth,' she thought again.Felicity was nearby.
