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.
Gilbert replied coolly and had already walked to the door of the CEO's office.Davian nodded with his head lowered. He looked dispirited."Felicity is in Athadale too."Suddenly, Gilbert's voice, which mingled with the sound of the door opening, floated over.Davian was stunned. A moment later, he quickly followed Gilbert."Mr. Kooper, Felicity's back in Athadale? Since when?" he asked.Gilbert ignored him and strode toward the elevator door, feeling incredibly irritated at the moment.'How dare Kisa lie to me this way! I'm so angry!' he thought.Seeing Gilbert's furious expression, Davian did not dare to ask any more questions.He quickly said, "I'll book the tickets now, Mr. Kooper. I'll follow you to Athadale!"At the square outside of the Athadale airport, Kisa was sitting on a stone bollard.Her stomach finally stopped hurting after she rested there for a while.Then, she took out a notepad from her bag and checked the name of the hotel she had pre-booked.The hotel K
Gilbert chuckled icily at Davian. Then, he said through suppressed anger, "I waited at the airport for four whole hours."Davian's smile stiffened, and his voice turned quieter, "It can't be helped, Mr. Kooper. There weren't any tickets left for earlier flights to Athadale. Only the one at this hour was left. The flights after this one are at a much later time."Gilbert closed his eyes as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger.The flight cabin was a little noisy. Since it was boarding time for the flight passengers, many were walking on the aisles.Davian watched as Gilbert's expression grew darker. He quietly defended himself. "Sorry, Mr. Kooper. Since you wanted to go to Athadale early, this was the only earliest flight available. And, the business class tickets were sold out, so... So, we have to sit in economy class."Then, a plump middle-aged lady came forcing her way in, "Excuse me, handsome. Hurry up and make way. I want to go in."Davian quickly stood up and mov
In front of Kisa was a double-story wooden loft with a brightly lit attic.There was a massive tree in the courtyard that had tables and chairs placed beneath, all of which were adorned with decorative lights. They looked bright, relaxing, and romantic.There were also some flowers and plants on one side of the courtyard.Next to the flowers and plants were some rattan swing chairs.Kisa really liked the environment. It felt comfortable and relaxing."Yep. This is my long-term residence at Athadale. Come on. Let's go inside," Felicity said with a smile.Then, she walked into the house while pulling her luggage in one hand and holding Kisa in the other."You're home, Ms. Jennings," two servants greeted them by the door.One of the servants took the luggage from Felicity's hand while the other led them to the dining hall."Ms. Jennings, we prepared dinner beforehand since you told us that you'd be coming home.""Thank you. That'll be all for now.""Yes, Ms. Jennings."After d
Hearing this, Kisa could not help but laugh."I couldn't tell he was such a helpful person.""Right?!"Felicity continued, "I asked him back then why he helped me. Guess what he said?""What did he say?" Kisa was a little curious.'After all, Gilbert doesn't seem like someone who would interfere with other people's affairs. Moreover, he isn't particularly kind, either. He doesn't have a reason to fund someone who has nothing to do with him unless he was interested in Felicity back then. But that's impossible. If he was interested in Felicity, he wouldn't have introduced her to Davian,' she thought.While Kisa was in deep thought, Felicity suddenly flashed her an odd smile, "At the time, he said, that was how his wife was bullied when she was younger."Kisa froze.Felicity peered at her eagerly, "You're the only wife he has, right? Tsk, tsk. You two have known each other since childhood, huh? A relationship that's over ten years. How romantic!"'I envy a love like this, a marri
