Kisa snapped back and met Gilbert's anxious eyes.Gilbert tapped the bump on her forehead with his finger, his face serious. "What happened?"Kisa took down his hand, covered the bump with her hair, and mumbled, "I ran into the wall by accident."He could tell at first glance that Kisa was not telling the truth. Thinking about Kelvin's hesitant look just now, it was not difficult to guess that the bump on her forehead was caused by her quarrel with Vivian. Since she did not want to talk about it, he would not push her."Keep your eyes on the road next time.""Mmm-hmm." Kisa nodded vigorously.Gilbert suddenly leaned back and narrowed his eyes at her. He felt Kisa had changed a lot these days, more submissive, more well-behaved, and gentler. He wondered if it was because of her pregnancy. If he had known it, he would have told her about the baby earlier. Gilbert subconsciously tightened his arms around her."Let me hug you a little longer."He rested his head against her forehea
Kisa tilted her head and put on a smile. "I'm serious. I'm also serious about what I'm saying to you."Seeing her giggling and nonchalance, Gilbert was so mad that he gritted his teeth. He rarely confessed his feelings, but when he did and admitted to her the mistakes he had made back then, she looked like she couldn't care less. So he got angry, feeling that his expression had gone to waste. But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the harder Kisa laughed. Annoyed, he pushed her down.A thought came to Kisa's mind. leveraging on the force, Kisa took several steps back and fell on her buttocks on the floor. She put her hand to her belly and looked at him with resentment. "Are you trying to murder your own child?"Gilbert panicked and immediately got up to crouch in front of her. "Are you okay?" He looked panic-stricken and had a hard time putting his words together. "I-I didn't mean to push you. I-I didn't use a lot of force. I was angry but I-I just pushed you g
"Think carefully. After coming to the Mullen residence and eating there yesterday, what else have you eaten?"'What else have I eaten?' Kisa carefully recalled the scene yesterday afternoon. A long while later, something flashed through her mind, and she instantly became excited."It's tea." Kisa grabbed Gilbert's arm. "It's the tea I took at Vivian's place. Come to think of it, when I was at the Mullen residence, I visited Vivian almost every day and drank the tea in her place every time.""Vivian?" Gilbert slowly narrowed his eyes, and his dangerous aura rose.Kisa shook her head. "I'm not too sure yet, because Kelvin also drank the tea, and I haven't seen him experience the same thing as me. Tell you what, I'll go and verify it today."Gilbert looked at her for a long while and asked, "Do you need my help?""No, it might arouse suspicion if you go. I have a feeling that if the problem really lies in the tea at Vivian's place, it may not be Vivian who wants to harm me. Anyway,
'Could it be that Mr. Mullen Sr. has also made his move?' Kisa subconsciously looked toward Anthony's room on the second floor, where she saw a tall figure standing silently in front of the see-through floor-to-ceiling window. He was wearing a black shirt and black pants, like a ghostly demon roaming the earth. 'He really loved Lea, didn't he? But he loved her the wrong way and caused irreparable regret and sadness.'As Kisa was thinking, Gilbert suddenly brought over a bowl of soup."Drink it. It's a stew I made with my own hands. It has a strong taste, but I guess you can drink it."Kisa looked at him in bewilderment. "Didn't I just finish my breakfast?""Eat some more. You're losing weight. I'm worried that my baby will be underweight when it is born," Gilbert said, and used his hands to make an exaggerated gesture.Kisa rolled her eyes at him, but still finished the soup. It tasted a little strange, sour, and spicy, but quite appetizing. She also ate two chunks of chicken meat
In fact, she had thought of a method yesterday, but it would inevitably break Gilbert's heart. Feeling upset at the thought, Kisa stood up and silently walked outside.Just then, Gilbert quickly pulled her back and retorted, "What are you trying to do by leaving right after I complained about you? Can't you coax me a little?"Kisa looked at him quietly, while he looked irritated."I reproached you because of those hurtful things you said. Yet you're acting unhappy about it. Kisa, do you care about me at all? I can't wait to love you with all my heart and mind, yet you keep doubting me. What do you want from me?"Kisa secretly clenched her hands at her sides, in a predicament. If she wanted to use that method to get to Adrien, then this was the best opportunity to 'break up' with Gilbert.She had thought to explain the situation to Gilbert before, asking him to stage a 'break-up' with her, and then she would pretend to work with Adrien against him. After she had gained Adrien's tru
"I thought we had made up, really. For a few days, I thought we were loving each other like a normal couple."Kisa closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they had turned icy. "What made you think I would make up with you, Gilbert? What makes you think I will forget those wounds, pains, and that poor child? What makes you think I will ever forgive you?""I-It wasn't me who started that fire—""So what if you didn't start it?" Kisa cut him off indifferently. "Weren't you the one who caused it? If only you had let me give birth first and then sent me to prison, I wouldn't have hated you so much. Gilbert, when love is gone, it doesn't come back so easily. Not only did I lose my child, but I was also wounded. If I hadn't been so mentally strong, I would have been dead, just like Lea. It's not easy to forgive with such pain.""I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Gilbert tightened his arms, almost cradling her entirely in his embrace. He buried his head in the crook of her neck, apologizing repe
"Uncle Adrien..." Kisa cried with anguish. "I hate him. I want revenge. I must have revenge."Adrien's eyes flickered, and he said, "Calm down. Tell me what is going on."Kisa kept crying, and the anguish on her face seemed real. Adrien took her back to his room and poured a glass of water for her. She held the glass, her eyes looking blank, her expression full of hurt and sorrow. Adrien sat across from her and asked with concern, "Tell me what happened."Kisa raised her eyes slowly with tears in them. "I hate Gilbert," she said, with full hatred in her voice.Adrien suddenly smiled. "I saw Mr. Kooper treat you quite well these days. In the eyes of outsiders, you two look like a loving couple.""Heh!" Kisa snickered sarcastically. "That's only in the eyes of outsiders. The enmity between him and me is too deep. We'll never be a loving couple."Adrien stared at her for a long time, then said absently, "I saw that you two were fine this morning. So, tell me what happened.""He fou
Kisa hissed, "He deserves to die. Jensen is still in a coma, those ugly burn scars on my body will never fade, and that baby of mine will never come back. So how can he live so well? He's the one who deserves to die!"It hurt her to say this. She clenched her hands, looking indescribably grief-stricken.Adrien exhaled a ring of smoke and urged her, "Silly girl. If you murder him, you'll have hell to pay. It's not worth it to put your life on the line like that.""I don't care." Kisa covered her face and cried with grief. "He hurt me, and he hurt the person who treated me the best. I hate him. I hate him to death."Outside the door, Gilbert listened quietly to the conversation inside, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. He had been worried about her, so after she ran out, he followed her. He could not help himself worry about her although he knew she hated and resented him. And now, listening to her hateful words, his worry seemed so ridiculous. He laughed at himself, with g
