Jensen got down from the car and stared at Kisa with his frightening dark eyes.Kisa bent her head uncomfortably. "Jensen, do I not look good in this?"Mia hid the darkness in her eyes and smiled seductively at Jensen, "How is it? Do you think the clothes I picked for her are much better than yours?""She does not suit these," said Jensen while he draped a white scarf from the car over her shoulder. The color white and mauve was a pretty combination. Kisa was sexy before, but there was more then sexy now as a touch of elegance could be seen. Under the attention of Mia, Kisa grabbed the scarf and stepped back from Jensen, creating space between them. She did not know the relationship between the two, but it was better to steer clear of misunderstandings. Jensen did not say anything regarding Kisa's action of avoiding him. He looked at Mia, "Don't choose these types of outfits for her next time, it doesn't suit her."Mia scoffed, "It didn't matter if it's suitable or not, it's
Kisa ran out of the restaurant and hid behind the bushes. Through the gaps in the bushes, she saw Gilbert catch up with her. His face had anger, hatred, and a hint of resignation.Kisa clutched her hands, her heart filled with pain. 'He'll always hate me no matter where I am, or if I died or not. His hatred was like a never resolving knot.'"Mr. Kooper, what's wrong?" Davian rushed out and looked at Gilbert worried. 'Ever since we been here, Mr. Kooper seems to have lost his head. Was it something he saw that made him this way?'"I saw Kisa," Gilbert looked around the surroundings, searching for her. The thought of Kisa avoiding him on purpose made him annoyed and resentful. Davian was not convinced. "You must have got the wrong person, why would Mrs. Kooper be here?" "No, I'm sure of it. This is the only possible place she'll be," Gilbert said with certainty. Davian could not understand him. 'Why would this place be the only possible place Mrs. Kooper be?'Davian was going to
Kohen's last sentence was directed toward Jensen.Jensen's face slightly darkened, "You're only getting the land in Borealdon, don't even think about anything else." "Haha. You're still as stubborn as you used to be," Kohen chuckled and lit a cigarette. Jensen furrowed his brows and told Kisa, "You should leave first." Kisa was touched upon understanding Jensen's intention of not letting her breath in smoke, so she got up and left the room. She quietly stood outside by the door, thinking about what would Kohen want. It was obvious that Jensen knew what it was, but it seemed to be something important to him. After a few minutes, Jensen came out of the room with a cold expression.Kisa understood the deal was off and said, "It's alright. We could do well without his sponsor too."'Jensen only wanted Kohen's connections, resources, and reputation to promote the drama by asking him to invest. It was to make sure that I could get famous. I would rather not act in this drama, be
At that moment, a basketball suddenly flew toward them. Gilbert caught the ball in his long, slender hands and threw it back. Despite him being far away, the ball went cleanly through the hoop. It bounced on the ground a few times before landing in the hands of a boy who was around five or six years old.A woman with delicate features ran up to the boy and pulled him away. She was panting as she anxiously said, "Be careful. You almost hit someone."The little boy stared at Gilbert. Under the light, the boy's slightly familiar face showed a touch of maturity and seriousness that children of the same age did not have."You…" The little boy pointed at Gilbert, "You play good.""You're rather cheeky, aren't you, little guy?" Davian looked at the boy and said, his hands on his hips. However, the little boy ignored him and kept on staring at Gilbert. "Come play with me," he said."Oh, this is outrageous. Look at you. You're not even tall enough to reach Mr. Kooper's waist, yet you want
'What is Gilbert doing here?' Kisa thought. 'Fate really works in mysterious ways. I can't believe I keep running into this man again and again in such a large country.'Jensen leaned back, his slender hand tapping lightly on the car window, looking like he was thinking about something. "Fate really works in mysterious ways. I can't believe he met Blake," he chuckled after some time."That's your adopted child?" Kisa asked as she glanced over to the little boy. "He looks like he's the same age as Andrew and Ada."Jensen was stunned for a moment. A dark light flashed in his eyes. "Do you know who Andrew and Ada's mother is?" he asked with a smile.Kisa's heart ached at the mention of that. "No, I don't," she shook her head. "But… It must be someone Gilbert loved for her to bear his child.""Do you know who it is?" Kisa looked at Jensen with gentle eyes and asked.Jensen stared at her for a long time before saying, "No, I don't.""Right. How would you know when you were abroad?" K
Although the man was also wearing a mask, Kisa noticed that his brows and eyes resembled Gilbert's. Even the mysterious man's tall figure reached his. 'Is he Gilbert? Didn't he return to the country? No, it can't be. Gilbert would never come to a party like this.' Kisa could not help but laugh at herself as she thought about it a thousand times. There was no reason for her to be nervous or afraid, even if it was him.The man sat across from her but didn't speak. Instead, he stared into her eyes deeply. Kisa smiled. Her lips parted slightly to speak. Her voice sounded like how it was from five years ago. She had damaged her vocal cords in the fire, but they had slowly recovered after treatment. "Do you want a drink?" she asked.Kisa's hands looked fair and slender. The addition of her red nails made her hands look sexy. It was enough to attract the eyes of a man. However, the mystery man kept staring at her face as if trying to see through her through this mask.Kisa ignored his burn
As the music played, Kisa began to dance. She had gone for dance lessons after recovering. 'It was funny how I couldn't, for the life of me, learn how to dance in the past. I even thought that I had no talent for dance.' But now, in less than half a month, Kisa knew how to ballroom dance. Maybe it was because she was young and did not try hard enough, or perhaps it was because she thought that as long as she had Gilbert, she could do it. Now that she had the goal of revenge in her mind, she was dedicated in everything she did.The mysterious man danced very well. Every step he took was flawless, just like Gilbert had been back then.Although Kisa did not get the steps mixed up, the dance was still a little hard for her to follow. Suddenly, someone bumped into her, and she forgot the steps. She staggered and fell into the arms of the mysterious man. His chest felt hard and strong, but it also held a sense of familiarity, making Kisa's heart ache.During her years in dance, she had al
'It's weird. Why did Mr. Kooper's whole demeanor change after attending the ball? The strange smile he has on right now is unsettling. Yikes!' Davian thought. 'Is there something wrong with him? Is he turning insane all because of love?'"Uh… Sir… Are you…"'Are you going mad???'Before Davian could get his words out, Gilbert opened his mouth and said coldly, "We'll go back tomorrow." Davian almost bit his tongue upon hearing this."T-Tomorrow…?What about the thing with Kohen?""It's done." The fact that Kohen kept dragging things out with them led them to the conclusion that it was done."Does that mean we came here for nothing?" Davian slumped his shoulders and asked.'Nothing?' Gilbert stared at the mask in his hands and smiled. 'It wasn't all for nothing.' He started to smile more meaningfully when he thought of the gentle lips his lips had touched just now. He even began to look forward to Kisa's revenge.Kisa was feeling uneasy because of the incident at the ball. Mia loo
