It was shocking that a burly man like Gilbert would take a few steps back from that blow. "I told you I don't want your help, but you didn't listen. Now, look. You're just making things worse. Jensen had already made the dough and separated them into equal parts. All that was left was to roll it thin to make noodles. But you had to come and knead everything together again!" Kisa roared before he could react."Y-you..." She was so mad that, in the end, she had no words. She just stared at the man in front of her with a face full of despise.Gilbert leaned his back against the edge of the sink and retorted, "I asked you to tell me what you wanted me to do, but you didn't, and now you're blaming me?""Y-you... Get out!" Kisa's face reddened with anger. Gilbert was also outraged by the situation. He clapped the flour off his hands and started to walk outside. However, when he was at the door, he hesitated, 'Jensen and the kids are still out there. It would be humiliating for them to see
Kisa's angry roar sounded from the kitchen. Andrew and Ada looked at each other and then at Gilbert, who was walking toward them. "Daddy, Ma'am seems to be calling for you."Gilbert sat on the sofa in silence. Ada glanced at the kitchen and frowned. "Daddy, aren't you supposed to be in the kitchen helping Ma'am make the cookies? Why are you out here?""The cookies are almost ready. There's nothing for daddy to do anymore.""Then why does Ma'am sound angry? Did you do something wrong, daddy?""No," Gilbert shook his head expressionlessly and replied."Then why does Ma'am sound angry?" Ada puffed her cheeks and looked at the kitchen."She likes getting angry," Gilbert turned on the TV and said casually.Jensen lowered his gaze and smiled without making a sound.After some time, Kisa finally came out of the kitchen with two plates of delicious cookies. She glanced at Gilbert in disgust and said, "If someone hadn't gotten in my way just now, I would have been done with these cookie
Kisa stared coldly at the figure standing at the door. "Get out!" she said in a low voice, but Gilbert did not budge. Her voice grew colder, "I said get out!" The man still did not move an inch. Kisa gritted her teeth angrily and got under the covers, ignoring the man who sneaked into her room.Kisa was uncomfortable when she felt the man's cold gaze penetrating the blanket, but it was not a surprise. No sane person could fall asleep under the silent observation of a weird man standing in the room. "What's the meaning of this?!" She turned over, got out of bed irritably, and asked.The man did not make a peep. Instead, he moved aside from the entrance, gesturing for her to follow him. Kisa gritted her teeth, opened the door, and walked out of her room. The man followed right behind. "It's the middle of the night. What in god's name are you doing? Mmm..." Before she could finish her words, Gilbert pushed Kisa against the wall and started kissing her. His kiss was domineering and overb
Kisa sneered. He was right, she did not believe him. And even if what Gilbert said was true, the only woman he loved would not be her.Gilbert looked at Kisa with a deep and complex gaze. There was an indescribable emotion behind his eyes. "Do you really love Jensen? Did you fall for him when we were young?""...Yes. I've loved Jensen since we were young, and I never loved you." Kisa used to love this man with her life, but all she got back was hurt and humiliation. Therefore, she would never admit that she had loved this man before."Then why did you pursue me back then? Why did you have to set me up?" Gilbert clenched his fists and asked. Although Kisa had answered this question multiple times before, Gilbert did not believe her. So, she looked at him and laughed nonchalantly. "Didn't I tell you last time you asked? Jensen was gone, and you became the CEO of GK Pictures. I married you just so I could become the wife of the CEO. At the same time, you acted as Jensen's stand-in. I w
This was the first time he had truly opened his heart. It was also the first time he fought for what he wanted regardless of the circumstances. 'If she still chooses Jensen after all this, I'll have to bury this feeling I have for her deep inside my heart, and I'll never reveal it to anyone ever again.'Kisa leaned stiffly in his arms. She could not believe a word he was saying. The scene in which he ruthlessly sent her to prison was still vivid in her mind. The pain and despair from the fire felt like it had just happened the day before. With such deep hurt and grief in her heart, she could not believe him.Seeing the woman hesitate, Gilbert spoke again in a firm voice, "Kisa, I can really let go of everything. I can even let go of GK Pictures if you want me to. All I ask is for you to come back to my side." His tone was full of sincerity and affection. Even though Kisa did not dare fall for those words, it was undeniable that she was touched to hear him say them.She subconsciousl
Even though she and Jensen were in love, Gilbert would not let them have their way. He was not happy with her machinating against him previously, so he would not let them have their way even if he died.Kisa shrugged it off. "Whatever." With that, she turned around and went into the room.Gilbert stared at the closed door with cold eyes. He suddenly punched the wall next to him with force. The impact was so great that his fist bled. Blood was trickling down his hand, but he did not feel the pain. He smiled morosely, telling himself that he should not have hope for Kisa, that they could only be enemies and hate each other in this life....Mia did not expect Jensen to come. She did not even put on her shoes when she went out to greet him. "What brought you here?" Mia always seemed to have a light in her eyes when she saw Jensen."I came to see Blake," Jensen said, looking away. "Is he asleep?"Mia did not mind who he was visiting; she was happy that he had come. She pulled him ins
"Don't eat that. It is not good at all," Mia said, frowning with disgust. "It is too sweet. Don't eat it."Jensen shot her a look. "You are the one who doesn't like sweet things, right?" Mia bristled and feigned a move to throw the cookie, which she had just taken a bite, into the trash. Jensen quickly snatched the cookie from her. "Don't waste it if you don't eat it. Kisa put a lot of effort into making it." With that, he gingerly put the cookie in his mouth and ate it, not minding that Mia had taken a bite. He did not waste even a bit.Mia looked at him and felt bitter inside.Blake picked up a piece of the cookie, took a bite, and knitted his brows together.Knowing that he did not like sweets too much, Mia said, "If you don't like that, don't eat. If you are hungry, I will make you something delicious."But Blake quickly shook his head and took the entire box of cookies in his arms. "I think they are delicious. I like it."Mia looked at him suspiciously. "Delicious?"Blake n
Sharon's eyes reddened with anger as she stared at the TV. She suddenly grabbed a cup and smashed it against the TV screen.It startled everyone. Carolyn looked at her in horror, thinking Sharon was suffering from a mental breakdown."He is defending me?" Sharon laughed maniacally. "You will never know; I'm just a tool—just a tool in his eyes," Sharon said and stormed out, leaving everyone wide-eyed....Anthony was insatiable as he lay on top of the woman. Before he could catch his breath, the phone at the bedside rang. He frowned in disgust and ignored it. The phone kept ringing like mad.So Lea cautiously said to him, "Anthony, w-why don't you answer the phone?""You shut up."When Anthony bellowed, Lea pursed her lips, not daring to make a sound. The phone still did not stop ringing. He cursed and only then did he lazily get up from Lea. He picked up the mobile phone. When he saw it was Sharon who called, a look of disgust flashed across his face."What a useless piece of s
