"Where is that woman? Is she in the backyard? I'll go find her. We must clarify everything that happened back then."Gilbert was experiencing complex emotions when he saw how emotional that woman was. He knew she must have felt wronged when he misjudged her all those years back. He wanted to make up for it, but she refused to accept his efforts.He pulled Kisa back and said, "There's no need to go after that woman. It isn't her."Kisa was taken aback. "It isn't?""No, it isn't."Kisa felt discouraged and leaned into Gilbert's arms. She had thought that it was her. 'I was mentally prepared to confront the woman, but he said it wasn't her.'Kisa could not help but feel a sense of loss in her heart.'Even though all of Gilbert's attention would be focused on Sara once she appears and I won't be known as Mrs. Kooper or the wife of GK's CEO anymore, I still hope that she'll appear so that I can find out everything that happened back then... and so that Gilbert can stop deliberately p
Gilbert looked at Kisa with sad eyes and asked, "You really want her to appear?""Well, yeah. Don't you?""I—""Don't tell me that you don't want that. Don't tell me that I'm the one you really love," Kisa interrupted him lightly."You couldn't wait to catch up when you saw that figure that resembled her. Don't you think you'd be lying if you said you love me? Honestly, I don't blame you for anything. Love can't be forced. I've already thought about it after all these years. If she ever comes back, I'll give you two my blessing," Kisa said with a smile.It was as if she no longer wanted this marriage.Gilbert grabbed onto the mattress tightly. He gripped it so angrily that his knuckles turned blue.Kisa saw the man's sullen look and laughed, "Didn't you say I robbed her of being Mrs. Kooper? Isn't giving it back to her when she returns the right thing to do? Why are you getting mad about it?""...Okay. I'm not mad." Gilbert's face looked tense, but his voice was calm as he slow
After Kisa and Arthur left the room, Gilbert slammed the book on the table with a gloomy look on his handsome face. "Kisa, did you have a fight with your husband?" Arthur asked abruptly as they walked on the gravel road in the backyard. Kisa was taken aback when she heard that. She smiled in surprise and said, "No. Why?""Well, when I went to your room to look for you, I saw his face, and it was terrifying, especially when he looked at me. It was like he was going to eat me alive. Did you guys have a fight before I went into the room?""Nah," Kisa awkwardly laughed. 'Ugh, why does that man always have to look so gloomy and scary? Can't he control his facial expressions? We're just guests at the Mullen residence, for goodness sake.'"Kisa, I'm not sure if it's my imagination, but I think your husband hates me."'Oof. This little dude is rather straightforward, but he's not wrong,' Kisa thought. She smiled at him and said, "Oh, it's not that. He was just in a bad mood when you came i
Kisa saw that Vivian's complexion was much better than yesterday. Maybe it was the warm sun in the late autumn morning. Vivian was sitting in the courtyard with a blanket and a book in her lap. She leaned back on her wheelchair, and her eyes were slightly closed. It was a peaceful scene. Kisa was also happy to see that she was no longer sad.Arthur brought Vivian lots of snacks, books, and fun crafts, all in one bag. He dumped the things onto the table and yelled, "Aunt Vivian, I'm here to see you again!"Vivian slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Arthur and then at Kisa. Her gaze was not as cold and sharp as it had been yesterday. "Stella, go make some tea," she said to one of the servants. Kisa smiled faintly and sat at the table with Arthur. He was a chatterbox, introducing Vivian to all kinds of stuff. Vivian listened to him calmly. Occasionally, a smile would appear on the corner of her lips.'Arthur has quite the charisma. He's somewhat capable of coaxing people and enliveni
"Hey, Mr. Kooper. Are you here to see Ms. Mullen? Why are you standing outside? Just go in." It was Adrien's voice. He even called Gilbert "Mr. Kooper".Kisa's heart trembled for a moment, and her back stiffened up. 'Why is Gilbert here? He should have gone out of this place long ago with how gloomy he was this morning.' Just as she was thinking about it, Adrien and Gilbert had already walked in. Vivian looked at Kisa, and after a while, she glanced at the two new visitors.To Kisa's relief, Vivian did not go crazy like she did two days ago when she saw Adrien. However, there was obvious resentment and hostility toward Gilbert in her eyes."You're... from the Kooper family?" She asked Gilbert coldly."Yes, I'm from the Kooper family in Calthon. David Kooper is my uncle," Gilbert replied, not intending to hide anything.Kisa subconsciously glanced at Adrien. She saw that he had his hands behind his back and was expressionless. Vivian's face began to show the distorted look of hatre
"Aren't you going to leave?!" Gilbert clenched his fists as he turned around and walked out of the yard. Kisa stroked Vivian's back and whispered, "It's okay. The person from the Kooper family has left. It's okay. It's all over now...""Arthur, pour her a cup of tea," she said to Arthur. He quickly handed over the cup of tea, and Kisa let Vivian have a few sips. She gradually calmed down after that.Adrien was standing at the side. Kisa glanced at him and asked, "Are you here to see Ms. Mullen today too, Uncle Tanner?""Well, Mr. Mullen Sr. and I are good friends. Ms. Mullen mistook me for that person, so Mrs. Mullen Sr. asked me to come and comfort her."Hah!" Vivian suddenly sneered. "But, you're not him," she said with a smile as she looked at Adrien with scarlet eyes. The look in her eyes was complicated. Many emotions were hidden behind it. At first, Kisa thought that Adrien would not be able to stand Vivian's gaze and would probably dodge them a little. However, she was surpr
Kisa followed her gaze and looked at Adrien's back. Many questions popped up in her head. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Adrien was David Kooper. 'Otherwise, why would he show such concern to Ms. Mullen?' Ever since Adrien and Gilbert appeared, Vivian had been in a bad mood. Kisa held Vivian's hand tightly and said, "Don't think too much about the past. The most important thing right now is for your leg to heal. I will contact my friend tonight and ask him to come as soon as possible.""Many doctors have looked at me and said that it's hopeless," Vivian said in a low voice.Kisa smiled at her and said, "Well, I was sentenced to death by many doctors back then, and I was indeed dying at that time. But, my friend was able to drag me back from hell. I believe that he can heal your legs."A glimmer of hope flashed in Vivian's dead eyes when she heard that. Kisa was relieved. "The weather is nice. You should call your friends and hang out with them.""Friends?" Vi
The low stand by the window was kicked upside down.She looked at Gilbert who was calmly sitting in a chair. She was speechless as she said, "Did you kick it?"He did not speak. He just pulled his tie. A hint of irritability could be seen on his gloomy face.'I'm not sure what's bothering him.'But it's very rude to kick something in someone else's house.'Kisa walked toward Gilbert as she frustratedly said, "Here's the Mullen residence. You should clean up your act. The Mullen family might chase us out if you kick their things.""Do you think I'm afraid of them?" Gilbert raised his eyes to coldly stare at her.Kisa could not stand the way he looked at her. She softly said, "I didn't say that you're afraid of them. But you're being very rude. After all, we're their guests."Gilbert coldly sneered. He did not bother to talk to her.Kisa just ignored him when she saw his long face.She bent down to pick up the low stand. She then laid down on the bed.'I feel so lazy recently.
