When they entered the store, Gilbert had the most expensive and latest phone brought to Kisa to try. His face was a symbol of privilege; from the moment he entered the store, the shop assistants were scrambling to serve him, and everyone was eager to speak to him.Kisa was squeezed aside. 'I hate shopping with this man. He doesn't even bother to wear a mask or a hat, as if he is afraid that people wouldn't recognize him as GK's CEO.' She did not bother to try the phones, so she spoke to him across several people, "I don't want to try them. I'll just take this.""Why don't you try the others? We have other latest models of the other brands. Take a look, and if you like them, take them back with you."Kisa quickly shook her head. "This one will do." She gestured to Gilbert with her eyes, telling him to pay.Gilbert enjoyed the feeling of spending money on a woman. But the premise was that the woman had to be her.After buying the phone, Kisa wanted to go home. She said to Gilbert, "
"Okay, don't be mad. Let's not fight, okay?" Gilbert rarely softened his tone to coax others, but something was different about him today. He just liked to go shopping with her like a normal couple, and he could lower himself and apologize to her as long as it did not ruin the mood.Kisa said in a muffled voice, "Am I the one who wants to argue with you? You always sound harsh."Gilbert bowed his head, not retorting.Kisa saw this and thought she might as well vent her long-suppressed anger. "You've always been difficult to reason with, erratic, callous, pushy, and spiteful. You are no way close to Jensen."Gilbert's face had already started to darken when he heard the first part of the sentence, but when he heard the second part, his lost his cool completely. He could tolerate it when she demeaned him, but not when she compared him to another man. He gritted his teeth and glared at her. But he had to soften his attitude if he wanted to continue to hang out with her. Taking two dee
"No, my girlfriend has a good fashion sense," Gilbert said, and took the sets of clothes to the fitting room.Kisa sat bored on the couch and waited for him, getting more and more restless. 'It is a matter of course to pick out clothes for the children, but what is he doing here all of a sudden?'When she picked up a magazine and had just flipped through a couple of pages, the shop assistant suddenly said to her with a jealous look on her face, "Miss, you are lucky to have such a VIP like Mr. Kooper as your boyfriend, but there must be a limit to petulance. Mr. Kooper is so nice; you must not take it for granted."Kisa smiled and said nothing. 'I'm not only Gilbert's "girlfriend," I'm also his rightful wife. But is this really a good thing?'At this moment, the door of the fitting room opened, and Gilbert came out of it wearing a smoky gray shirt and black suit pants. When Kisa picked out the clothes, she just did it randomly and casually checked the size. But Gilbert was in shape
Gilbert nodded and started the car straight away.Kisa held the newly bought phone and felt strange and unbelievable, wondering why she and Gilbert could spend the afternoon shopping together with no problems considering the longstanding feud between them. What she felt even more incredible was that she even picked out clothes for Gilbert and he bought her a cell phone. She shook her head and thought, 'Forget it. It is just for today. I will forget all the hatred today, but tomorrow we will still be enemies.'Gilbert saw her remain silent in the car for a long while and could not help but ask, "Something bothers you? Or are you tired?"Kisa shook her head, staring at the new phone in her hand, and said, "I will pay you back for the clothes I picked out for the three children and the money for the phone when I get back."Gilbert frowned instantly. 'Why does she have to be so antagonistic?' He gripped the steering wheel tightly and said nothing.Kisa ignored him again, just bending
Not long after walking into the school compound, she heard a familiar child's cry. It sounded aggravated and exasperated. "Who says I don't have a mommy? My mommy is the best.""That is funny. Where is your mommy? You say your mommy is the best, then how come she has never come to pick you up?""My daddy said that you and your brother are children without a mommy.""My daddy also said that you are all illegitimate children. You might not even be the children of the Kooper family.""Haha, a child without a mommy is pathetic. Ada, you are so pathetic. Haha."Kisa followed the voice and saw a few mischievous little boys mock Ada, who gritted her teeth and clenched her fists in exasperation. She glared at the boys, her eyes red, but still holding back her tears. Kisa felt a pang of pain inside her upon seeing this. She subconsciously looked over at Gilbert, who was standing still with his hands digging into his pockets. So she grunted in anger, "Why don't you intervene when your dau
As the woman's voice was sharp and savage, Ada hid behind Kisa in fright.Kisa looked coldly at the woman. "It was your son who bullied my daughter first. Only then did my daughter push him. Besides, she pushed my daughter, too.""Your daughter?" The boy's mother sneered as she stared at Kisa.Kisa stood upright, unflappably. She was not afraid of the woman's gaze anyway, as she was so tightly wrapped. The woman sized Kisa up and snickered, "It is common knowledge that Mr. Kooper's two children have no mother. And where are you from? How dare you claim to be the mother of this child?"At this moment, several more female parents came over. The female parent, who self-proclaimed to be the wife of the "Lord of Calthon," pulled at those female parents and sneered at her. "Hey, hey, hey, look at this woman. She claims to be Ada's mother. Can you believe it?""Huh? Is that true? Haha, of course not. Everyone in town knows that Ada and Andrew don't have a mother. I don't believe they can
Gilbert smirked and looked nonchalantly at the "Lady of Calthon".At first, the "Lady of Calthon" was still arrogant, but after being stared at, she started to lose courage. But as a person of status, she could not lose face in front of the other female parents. Otherwise, she could not face the people in the parent group and elite circle next time. She smiled at Gilbert. "Mr. Kooper, what do you mean by that?""Literally. Don't you understand?"The "Lady of Calthon" deliberately played dumb. "I really don't understand."Gilbert chuckled. "Really? I didn't know that the 'Lady of Calthon' was so illiterate that she couldn't understand such simple words.""You!" The "Lady of Calthon" was enraged. The other female parents tried hard not to laugh. Embarrassed, the "Lady of Calthon" quickly turned to Kisa. "Oh, Mr. Kooper. I forgot to tell you that this crazy woman from nowhere impersonated the mother of your daughter.""Really? She isn't impersonating the mother of my daughter; she i
"Mr. Kooper, there's no need for you to blow things out of proportion. How could you call it bullying? It's merely banter among children.""Since you don't think it's a serious matter, you should apologize to my wife. You should also get your son to apologize to my daughter."The "Lady of Calthon" was defiant. She glared at Gilbert, "My husband is Calthon's...""Mhm, the mayor of Calthon was elected by the Chamber of Commerce," Gilbert said while patting Ada's head.He continued coolly, "It's been three years now, hasn't it? It seems like we'll be needing a new mayor for Calthon."The "Lady of Calthon's" expression instantly paled upon hearing his words."You... Stop running your mouth. My husband...""Back then, your husband stood in front of my doorstep and begged me many times. I pitied him, so I nominated him to the Chamber of Commerce. But now, it seems like he's been making a fool of me behind my back. He's been living too comfortably for the past three years, hasn't he?"
