'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
There was a sudden knock on the door.Adrien looked alarmed. "Come in."As the door opened, it was one of the Mullen family's maids standing in the doorway. "Mr. Tanner, may I ask if Mrs. Kooper is with you?"Adrien looked over at Kisa, who asked the maid, "Is there something I can do for you?""Miss Mullen would like to see you."Kisa was surprised that Vivian still wanted to see her, and that it was so soon. She nodded her head. "Okay, I'll be right over. You can go now.""Yes, Mrs. Kooper."After the maid left, Adrien smiled at her. "You seem to care about Vivian.""I can't help it. Both of were hurt by our beloved and are suffering miserably. We are in the same boat." Kisa chuckled. "It would be great if Kelvin could heal her. It would be worth it for the Mullen family to show me their hospitality.""By the way, Kisa, may I ask, why are you thinking of staying at the Mullen residence for a while?"Kisa pursed her lips, thinking, 'It seems that he has already begun to susp
The maid bowed her head slightly and said respectfully, "After Miss Mullen had a fight with you yesterday, she was afraid that you'd be angry and unwilling to see her, so she asked me to make sure you go over."Kisa nodded. "I'll go with you now." On the way downstairs, Kisa asked the maid casually, "How'd you know I was with Mr. Tanner?""Mr. Kooper told me," the maid replied.Kisa's heart skipped a beat. 'How did Gilbert know I was in Adrien's room? Had he overheard the conversation I had just had with Adrien?' she thought to herself, feeling a chill running up her spine. She felt helpless and had mixed emotions. 'Screw it. We will eventually come to this. When I'm done with Adrien, I will explain to him,' she said in her mind.Little did she know, however, that when the truth surfaced later, she would realize that she was the one who owed Gilbert the most in this world. At that time, all her explanations and confessions would be meaningless.In the room, Adrien puffed on his ci
Kisa pursed her lips, thinking that Kelvin was careless, not knowing that this full cup of tea differed from his half cup of tea. "You're still the best." She smiled at him.Kelvin was getting smug again. "Of course I am."She shot him an amused look, then looked over at Vivian, who was trying to lift her leg. The last time Kisa was here, Vivian had not been able to, but this time she managed to raise it a little, moving her feet slightly away from the wheelchair. The treatment had been very effective, and Vivian seemed to be ecstatic about it. Kisa looked at her excited face and was genuinely happy for her.After finishing his tea, Kelvin looked at his phone with a goofy smile on his face. Kisa could right away tell that he was talking to Gracie. She said to him, "Wait for me here. We'll go back to the main building together later, as I have something to tell you."Kelvin was puzzled. "What is it about?""I'll talk to you later. It's not a good time to talk right now."Seeing Ki
