Vivian took the hint instantly. She then winked at the maid beside her.The maid nodded as she asked Carrie to leave, "Ms. Carrie, Ms. Mullen is having her treatment now. If you need something, you may come back again later."Carrie suddenly did not look happy, but she was clearly a little afraid of Vivian.She noticed that the maid wanted to come over to ask her to leave.She hurriedly said to Vivian, "That b*stard Anthony was freed after only two days even though dad punished him to kneel for a week. After all that talk, dad still felt bad for that b*stard. Apparently, he was just too hungry and fainted at the ancestral hall. What's the big deal? Did he really need to be freed because of that? Dad didn't consider all the things Anthony did that embarrassed the Mullen family so badly."Kisa was stunned for a moment.'Anthony was freed? Will he go and look for Lea then?'She was very worried when she thought of Lea.For the past few days, Lea had not answered any of Kisa's call
Vivian stared at her as she mumbled, "At that time, he said to me that he wasn't sure what to do. He was so drunk that he was crying in front of me. He said that he liked that woman very much, but he couldn't accept her because her mother came from an inferior background. Anthony and his mother were being looked down upon a lot, so he couldn't accept a woman who had such a cheap background."Kisa was a little shocked.'So, Anthony actually likes Lea. If this is true, that's great news. If he confesses his love to her, I believe it'll lift Lea's spirits. 'But Kisa was being naive in assuming that everything would turn out so perfectly well.Little did she know the world was cruel, and that humans were complicated too.A relationship that is not taken seriously can only become a tragedy that one will end up regretting for the rest of their life.In the afternoon, Kisa went to Felicity's place with Gilbert.Although they were staying in the Mullen residence, the Mullen family did
"I was so happy when Davian told me you were pregnant. I even told him that I wanted to ask you how it felt to be pregnant. But after hearing that, Davian was worried. He told me I shouldn't look for you and that I shouldn't tell you that you were pregnant."Felicity leaned against the wardrobe as she looked at her with a smile, "Davian said Gilbert tried very hard to keep this from you. He asked me not to screw up Gilbert's plan. He also said that Gilbert cared about this child very much. He didn't dare to tell you about this pregnancy. He'd rather hide this from you and went through so much agony to do so because was afraid that you wouldn't want this child and would secretly abort your pregnancy if you found out."Kisa pursed her lips. She dully said, "There's no way an ordinary human can understand what Gilbert's thinking."Felicity laughed as she nodded, "That's true. We can't understand what he's thinking. But this also means that he truly cares about this child. He cared abou
Kisa sounded exceptionally worried and fearful.Gilbert kept on stroking her back, trying to calm her.Her back was very sweaty and her shirt was sticking onto her back. She felt extremely uncomfortable.Gilbert then put his hand into her shirt to separate the wet shirt and her skin.He used his warm, big hand to caress her cold and tensed back.He said in a low voice, "Don't be scared. I'm here. It's okay."As soon as he had entered the room earlier, he had noticed Kisa struggling on the bed.Her forehead was full of sweat as she frowned and groaned in pain. She was clearly having a nightmare.His heart sank a little.'This is Felicity's place. If she was having nightmares because of the Mullen residence, then why is she having a nightmare here? What's the real issue here?'The terror gradually lifted from her heart after she took some time to calm down, but she did not dare to go back to sleep. The nightmare had left her feeling terrified and suffocated. She was afraid that
Gilbert frowned and did not answer for a long time, but Kisa was persistent. The more he refused to answer, the more she was determined to find out his answer.She fixed her eyes on him. "Answer me. What? Is that a difficult question?"Gilbert took the towel and wiped her hair, asking, "Why do you always have to bring her up?""I'm just asking. Maybe there is really a possibility?" Kisa snickered while he frowned. "What? Are you angry?" she asked.Gilbert did not make a sound, his face sullen, and he continued to rub her hair with the towel. Kisa was not too happy. She grabbed the towel from his hand, not wanting him to dry her hair."I've told you many times that it's impossible for her to be in the Mullen residence. Why are you asking such a weird question?"'Heh! Look how he's trying to defend that woman.' Kisa was so pissed that she decided to ignore him. She had just had a nightmare and was drenched in sweat, especially her hair. So, when she took a shower, she had washed he
She thought it was not a bad idea. But, realizing that he would not be able to sleep, she shook her head. "Never mind. I'll just look at my phone. I'm not sleepy, anyway."Gilbert said nothing as he handed her phone to her, leaned back against the headboard, and looked at his phone too. The room was warm and quiet, with only a dim wall lamp on. Not long after, Kisa fell asleep, the phone in her hand still playing a video. He carefully took her phone out of her hand with a forced smile.'She really fell asleep quickly.' He looked at the side of Kisa's face for a long time and felt that she still looked somewhat the same as she did when she was young.Grinning to himself, he took out his phone and snapped several photos of the side of her face. And then he lay down, hugging her as he took a few more shots.Perhaps his actions roused her; she let out a soft moan, before rolling over and snuggling up in his arms. Gilbert's heart softened, and he rested his chin on the top of her head t
His phone was on the bedside table, but half of it was hanging off the edge, so it fell as soon as Kisa's hand brushed past it. The phone fell on the carpet with a sudden thud. Her heart skipped a beat, and she tensed up, afraid of waking Gilbert up. He had always been alert, but this time, there was no reaction from him. He was still sleeping soundly. It seemed to her that he really was tired.She bent down to pick up the phone. As she was doing so, her fingers instinctively touched the power button on the side of the phone and the phone screen lit up. She was not really looking at first, but a photo caught her eyes. It startled her for a second before she pressed the side button again.As the phone screen lit up again, the photo came into view. It was a picture of her and Gilbert with her nestling in Gilbert's arms, sleeping soundly, while he was resting his chin on the top of her head, smiling. It was a beautiful picture. Even if it was just a photo, she could see the smile and sp
Kelvin immediately shed his frivolous manner, his expression turning grave. "What to do then? Any possible suspects? Since we're all staying in the Mullen residence, how come Gilbert's okay?"Kisa shook her head. "I'm just guessing. Let's observe for a few days and see how things go."Kelvin nodded. "So do you want to visit Miss Mullen at the Mullen residence today?""I'm not going." Kisa took a mouthful of spaghetti and mumbled, "I'll stay at Felicity's place for a few days. If there are no more nightmares in the next few days, then someone at the Mullen residence must have tampered with my food or the things around me. First I'll determine whether that's the case, and if it is, then I'll go to the Mullen residence to find out who that person is. In the meantime, please keep an eye on the Mullen family and Adrien these few days.""Ahh! Speaking of Mr. Tanner reminds me of something."Kisa was startled. "What's up?""Didn't you ask me to observe Mr. Tanner to see if he had underg
