"What are you drinking?" The man's voice was tense and gloomy as if he was anxious. "It's wine. What's wrong?" Kisa said in a daze.As soon as he heard that, Gilbert stood up immediately. He grabbed the glass from her and yelled, "Who gave you this?"Kisa was baffled by the yelling and subconsciously looked at Felicity. Felicity frowned and stared at Gilbert before saying, "Why are you shouting? It's just some fruit wine. I let her have it.""Who allowed you to do so? Do you want her to die?" Gilbert yelled. Felicity was dumbstruck. "It's just some wine. How would Kisa die because of it?" She snorted coldly.Gilbert ignored her. He quickly grabbed Kisa's hand and asked, "How much have you drank? Do you feel any discomfort?"Kisa was taken aback by his inexplicable nervousness. She shook her head and said, "No, I feel fine."Felicity glanced coldly at the man and sarcastically snorted, "You're just like she said, domineering, not letting her drink alcohol... This isn't a pub, you
Seeing that Felicity was finally willing to talk to him, Davian tried his best to tell her everything that happened."When we were on the plane today, Mr. Kooper was harassed by a middle-aged lady," he said.When she heard that, Felicity could not hold back her laugh, and the wine she had just sipped spurted out of her mouth. The servant hurriedly wiped the table while Gilbert glared fiercely at Davian with a disgusted face and a gloomy gaze.'Is that even something worth talking about?! Why did he have to tell her that?!' Gilbert thought.Felicity wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth and asked amusedly, "Tell me, what do you mean 'harassed by a middle-aged lady'? What happened on the plane? What did she do?"Kisa was also intrigued by the incident. She stared at Davian with a piercing gaze, waiting for him to continue. On the other hand, Gilbert's face darkened. However, Davian was busy looking at Felicity; he did not notice how gloomy Gilbert's face was. It was a r
Kisa was confused. "W-What are you doing? Go get some rest.""Don't you feel tired from 'walking the whole day'?" Gilbert scoffed."Not really." Kisa shook her head.Kisa frowned and looked at the man annoyedly after that.Then, Kisa quickly added, "Just go ahead and sleep. I won't disturb you. There are plenty of guest rooms in Felicity's place, and I can sleep in any of them.Gilbert clenched his fists secretly as he shifted his gaze to Felicity.Felicity immediately understood what he was trying to do. Then, she said to Kisa apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I've been living alone, so the guest rooms would only be cleaned up occasionally. The maid only managed to get one of the rooms ready when she knew that I had a guest coming, but two of you showed up instead."So..."Felicity smiled. "It's best for you to share the room with Mr. Kooper. I'm so sorry."Kisa waved her hand. "Don't worry about it. We're the ones asking for your help.""All right. You should go upstairs with
Gilbert lowered his gaze and looked at her without saying anything.Kisa hated the silence and being in that position, so she reached out and shoved him softly."I've already apologized to you. I wouldn't have done that if you didn't limit my freedom. Ultimately, it's you and your mom's fault.""I asked you if you want to come to Athadale that night. What did you tell me? Hm?"Kisa looked away embarrassingly. "It's true that I didn't want to come, but I don't have a choice.""Stop finding excuses!" he grunted.Gilbert was so mad that it looked like he was about to swing his fist at her.Kisa leaned back and said softly, "Stop it. Even though I lied to you, you didn't lose anything. I figured that since you didn't want to see me, I should just come to Athadale and stay out of your sight. In that way, everybody can be happy."After hearing what her words, Gilbert got so mad that he was left speechless.'What did I do to make her feel like I didn't want to see her?'"Gilbert, st
Kisa bowed her head down. "Everything's normal. It ended after I took the medicine."Gilbert was relieved after hearing what she said.'The baby should be fine if she's not bleeding anymore.'He could not help but furrow his brows after realizing that she had drunk alcohol earlier."You need to stop drinking, for a while at least.""Why?"Gilbert got mad after seeing the defiant look on Kisa's face. "Didn't I just tell you that your body is recovering? How could you still drink? Alcohol is bad for your health anyway."Kisa knew that if she showed any resistance, Gilbert was going to lose his temper again.So, she quickly nodded. "O-Okay then."Gilbert's facial expression softened after hearing her agree.Then, Kisa looked at him and said after noticing that he was not that mad anymore, "Okay, I'm going to take a shower now. I'm really tired.""You just told me that you weren't tired!" Gilbert said angrily.Kisa walked toward the bathroom as she turned her head back and said
"Yeah."Gilbert responded calmly without saying anything else.Kisa licked her dry lips and continued,"She said that you only helped her because she reminded you of how your wife got mistreated in her younger times when those people attacked her. You... you...""What is it?"The man asked, his voice deep in the pitch-dark room.Kisa pursed her lips and suddenly stopped talking.Actually, she did not know what she was trying to say either.She only brought that up because she wanted to know how he felt toward her back then.Gilbert suddenly got closer to her in the bed and wrapped his long arm around her waist.Kisa froze, but her heart felt somewhat warm."I've told you before that I started caring for you and liking you ever since we were kids, but you wouldn't believe me. You've never trusted the feelings I have for you until now, so why are you bringing this up now?"Gilbert's deep voice was tinged with anger and sadness.Kisa wanted to say something, but she just coul
Anthony impatiently grunted as he saw her standing at the door.Lea bit her lower lip. She walked toward him, taking small steps.Just when she reached the bedside, he suddenly pulled her down onto the bed. He then took off her dressing gown.Lea panicked. She hurriedly pressed against his chest."No!"Anthony coldly squinted, "You rejected me several times. What's wrong? Are you really seeing someone else?""No." Lea quickly shook her head. She felt that it was difficult to tell him what was happening."Why'd you reject me if you're not cheating on me? Don't forget that you climbed into my bed yourself back then!"Anthony shouted. Lea turned him off.He was still obsessed with her body.He had fun with many women these days. But whenever he was having s*x with them, he would unconsciously think of Lea's face. And then the s*x would become uninteresting.When Lea saw him get mad, she unwittingly became softer as she resisted him.She wanted to make him happy after all.She
"Ah!"Kisa was woken up by a scream in the morning.She dazedly opened her eyes. She noticed it had woken Gilbert up too."Ah, what happened to you? Miss, Miss... Someone passed out!"Kisa confusedly looked at Gilbert.Gilbert stroked her on the head as he said in his raspy voice, "The sound came from the yard downstairs. You go back to sleep. I'll go to the window and take a look."Kisa nodded. She then saw him yawn as he walked toward the window.He was not wearing any shirt. His slim upper body was very sexy and charming in the morning light.Just when Kisa started admiring his body, she then saw him hurriedly take the robe from the chair and put it on as he ran outside.Kisa panicked. She anxiously asked, "What's wrong?""Davian fainted. I'll go downstairs and have a look."'Huh?'Davian fainted?!'Kisa suddenly did not feel sleepy. She quickly got up to run to the window and looked down.She saw Davian lying down under the swing in the yard. He looked very pale.She
