His eyes stopped at the seventeenth floor, on which the curtains were tightly drawn, but a faint light still came through. He felt like wanting to run upstairs several times but was afraid of seeing a scene that he did not want to see. He was afraid to see them like husband and wife, eating a home-cooked meal and talking about family matters. He was afraid to see them snuggled up together, looking forward to a better future. He was even more afraid to see them engaging in intimate pleasure. He took out a cigarette and lit it, then took a long, hard drag. His face became sullen as he smoked away.Kisa had nothing better to do than sit by the window and read the for a while. Just as she stretched out and wanted to go to sleep, her phone suddenly buzzed. She subconsciously glanced at the phone and found that it was a message from Madalyn. She still had some feelings for Madalyn, who used to treat her the best, after all. When she thought of the past, she could not help but get emotional
"You have the nerve to call me, you heartless brute!" The first thing Madalyn did was to scold her.Kisa pursed her lips, ignored her abusive words, and asked politely, "Mrs. Kooper Sr., why didn't I see you at the hotel?""Humph! One more look at you would have hurt my eyes. Do you think I would still ask you out? I warn you: don't try to draw a wedge between Jensen and Gilbert." Madalyn hung up the phone.Kisa frowned. 'The text message has clearly been sent from Madalyn's number, but she has said she has not asked me out. And if this is Sharon's conspiracy, then why was there no one in the room?'She looked around the room again to make sure there was nothing strange and then headed outside. She had many questions in her mind, but the good thing was that nothing happened to her. So she did not give it a second thought. Just before she reached the door, someone she knew suddenly blocked her way. Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously stepped back. The person who suddenl
Her chuckle, as if a sharp blade, viciously pierced into his heart, reminding him at all times that this woman did not like and love him, and that his mad desire to be intimate with her again could only be met by force.Kisa suddenly reached out and hooked her hand around his neck, when his body was clearly stiffening. Kisa's smile became even more enchanting.That face was obviously not particularly good-looking, but at this moment, her smile seemed to be able to hook a man's heart. Gilbert could not take his eyes off her, as if the beast trapped in his body would rush out at any moment.The Kisa was now completely free from nervousness and fear. She looked at his tense expression and dark eyes with a smile, as if she was admiring him. "I remember you said last time that I made you sick. If so, then why are you lying on top of me like this at this moment?"Gilbert gritted his teeth, not liking the look on her face at this moment. But admittedly, she looked attractive. Yet the thou
Jensen knew she was talking about Kisa. He was silent as he poured Madalyn a glass of water.Madalyn snickered as she glanced around the rooms with her cane. "Is that woman out?"'It seems that Madalyn really thought he was living with Kisa.' Jensen did not offer any explanation, and he just asked, "I wonder why Grandma wants to see me at this hour?"Madalyn sat down on the couch with a touch of sternness on her hoary face. "About me sending you out of the country back then. Did you say something about that to Gilbert?"Jensen's grip on the glass tightened, and he smiled sarcastically. "Huh? Did Gilbert ask you?""Humph! I just wanted to remind you; since you promised me to tell Gilbert that you left the country voluntarily, stop saying anything about it in front of Gilbert."Jensen looked down with a gentle smile at the glass of water in his hand, but his eyes were icy. He sneered and said, "Grandma, you have protected him so well.""His parents died when he was young. If I don
Jensen leaned back on the chair. "Grandma, I promise you I won't talk about being sent abroad back then in front of Gilbert," he said with a smile at Madalyn. "But please stay out of the affair between Kisa and me."Madalyn's face fell immediately. "Are you saying that you have to be together with that woman?"Jensen has silenced again.Madalyn was furious. She stood up and pointed at him, "Fine, fine! You're independent now. You don't even listen to me. I can't influence you, but I won't forgive you if I find you conspiring against Gilbert together with that woman." Madalyn left angrily after she finished.Jensen stared at the door. He laughed at himself.'It's true Gilbert is always the only grandson in her mind, and I'm nothing!'His mind flashed back to the memories of his childhood.He remembered his grandma asking him, "Jensen, Gilbert is my life. Can you protect him for me after you grow up?""Sure!"In another memory, Jensen remembered his grandma asking him, "Jensen,
Kisa entered and saw Jensen sitting on the chair, his hand bleeding profusely. There was broken glass and blood scattered everywhere beside the table. She was deeply shocked. She quickly put her bag on the porch cabinet and found the medicine kit that he had used to bandage her wound back then.Kisa carried the medicine kit and squatted in front of him. Looking at his bloody palm, she asked anxiously, "What happened?"Jensen just stared at her without saying anything.Kisa did not keep questioning him. She quickly took out the alcohol and cotton swabs. Suddenly, Jensen held her in his arms when she just wiped the blood off his palm. She was startled, "W-What happened?""Only you… Only you…"Kisa did not understand what he was trying to say. She only felt him hugging her tightly, and she could hardly breathe against his strength. She stared blankly at the glass of water on the table. She could not move.'Someone must have come here earlier, but who was it? What did they talk about
Kisa specifically emphasized her words in the end. Jensen smiled, and the tenderness in his eyes was hypnotizing.There had been no action from the Case family for the past five days. At one point, Kisa thought Carolyn and Sharon had given up on framing her.However, the fallout of Carolyn's scandal continued. The newspapers published her scandal daily, and even Christopher and the Case Group were ridiculed by everyone.Sharon's situation was not much better. Her reputation and popularity had been completely lost because of her disfigurement, the previous trouble at the airport, and Carolyn's incident.'I put them in this mess. With the vicious mentality of Carolyn and Sharon, it's impossible for them to let go easily. Kohen is about to come over, but the pair seem unusually calm. The more peaceful things seem, the more uneasy I feel.'"Kohen is coming over tomorrow. Come with me, we'll pick him up at the airport," said Jensen to her while he was watering the flower.Kisa nodded.
As the door opened, Jensen was shocked. Standing before the door was no other than Gilbert himself.Gilbert was soaked from head to toe. Even his hair was wet and stuck messily to his forehead.Despite this, he did not look ridiculous at all. Instead, an icy aura emitted from him."What urgent business caused you to come to look for me through such heavy rain?" Jensen asked."Did grandma come to see you a few days ago?" Gilbert questioned in return.Jensen smiled as he turned around," Yeah, she told you?"Gilbert followed him into the house and then scanned the whole room instinctively. Not seeing Kisa, he felt a wave of relief yet disappointment simultaneously.Fortunately, Kisa might not stay with Jensen since this building had two units on every floor.What disappointed Gilbert was that he did not get to see Kisa even a bit.Jensen noticed Gilbert's disappointed expression, but said nothing.He poured a cup of warm water for Gilbert and asked caringly, " Would you like to
