"Hehe..."Ada quickly hugged Kisa's waist before she and Gilbert finished their conversation.She said happily, "Mommy! I really have a mom now! Ma'am's actually become my mommy. This is amazing! I'm so happy."Kisa felt a mixture of emotions seeing Ada's beaming face.She patted Ada's head and said lowly, "I was backing you up; that's why I lied about being your mummy. You should continue calling me Ma'am in the future."Ada's smile fell instantly. She pouted and said aggrievedly, "Why don't you want to be my mommy? Do you not like me?""Certainly not," Kisa smiled while wiping away the tears on Ada's face. She said softly, "Of course I like you. It's just that I can't be your mom.""Why is that?" Ada frowned at her. She could not understand why Kisa refused to be her mom if she liked her.Kisa felt resigned and said, "Because I'm not the person who birthed and raised you. What'll happen to your real mom when she returns? Wouldn't she be sad when she finds out that you're call
Gilbert snorted sardonically, "You call that swearing an oath?"Kisa glared at him, "Then you tell me, what exactly is swearing? Do I have to swear that I'll die a thousand deaths to qualify it as an oath?"'How heartless of this man. He knows that I was coaxing his daughter, yet he's still being so persistent,' she thought.Ada quickly shook her head and hugged Kisa's leg, "I don't want you to die. Don't swear an oath like that."Kisa took a deep breath and suppressed the anger she felt within.'If it weren't for Ada, I really would've flipped out in front of him,' she thought.Gilbert crossed his arms across his chest and said casually, "Swear on Jensen if you have the guts."Kisa frowned deeply."Why do I have to bring Jensen into my oath? You're truly a cruel person. You're always taking every opportunity to hurt Jensen."Gilbert huffed coldly, "I'd hurt anyone but him!""Then why'd you ask me to swear on Jensen's name?""It didn't mean anything. I just wanted to see if
Kisa turned around perplexedly. As expected, she saw Blake standing behind, unmoving.The small child stood there silently. Even though he had a calm expression, his dull eyes had disappointment hidden within.Kisa felt a twinge in her heart.She smiled at Blake and said softly, "Don't just stand there? Come along.""Yeah, Blake. Come along.""Come, Blake. Let's go home together."Ada and Andrew both reached out their hands toward him.Blake stared at them fixedly. Suddenly, he broke into a huge smile. His smile seemed to have a hint ofHe walked over briskly. Suddenly, Gilbert reached out to grab his hand, "Stick with us and make sure you don't get separated."Blake nodded furiously and gripped Gilbert's hand tightly.'Daddy's arm is so huge and warm. I wish I could hold his hand like this forever,' he thought.Blake could not help but lift his head to look at Gilbert.When Gilbert felt Blake's gaze on him, he looked down at him out of reflex, "What's the matter?"Blake s
Mia was stunned, "Mr. Kooper is visiting? For what?"Jensen shook his head, "He never tells me any of his plans.""Then again, he's never treated me like I was his son. So why would he tell me about his big plans?" he continued in a self-deprecating tone.Mia pursed her lips. She promptly reached out to grip his cold hand and said lowly, "Don't say that. Mr. Kooper still cares about you a lot."Jensen snorted and retracted his hand. He asked sarcastically, "Since when did you start defending him? Did you forget how he treated you back then?"Mia thought of their past and smiled bitterly, "You can't put the entire blame on Mr. Kooper. After all, I did it voluntarily. I can sacrifice myself as long as it helps you."Jensen tightened his grip on the steering wheel out of reflex. Then, he said coldly, "I'm Jensen Kooper. I haven't fallen to the extent where I need a woman to sacrifice herself in exchange for power and status. In the future, stop doing dumb feel-good things."The smi
Blake lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "Uncle Gilbert has a good eye, mummy. This jacket looks really good." The kid would have been a show-off if someone else had praised him, but he just felt embarrassed when his mother praised him.Gilbert was overjoyed by the little guy's words. He took Blake in his arms and said with a smile, "If only you were my son." Blake was shocked. He lowered his head as the corner of his lips curled into a huge smile.'Daddy, didn't you say before that sons were born to torture their parents? Why do you want another son to torture you now?" Andrew asked.'You're different. You were born to torture me, but Blake is so well-behaved and sensible, it's obvious that he was born to treat his parents well."Andrew snorted and ignored Gilbert. Kisa, on the other hand, was amused. Gilbert stared at how happy she was; his heart overflowed with warmth. All of this was like a dream, a beautiful and happy dream. 'I wish this could last forever.' But dream
Kisa snickered, but tears kept falling. That child was like a taboo. She did not want to be reminded of the incident, but since the man refused to admit it, she had to speak up. "I still remember the feeling of that child being taken out of my stomach to this day. I saw the doctor put the child, whose skin had turned purple, in a white cloth. And there, he lay motionless. T-then... They said that the child was not breathing. I saw it with my own eyes. They covered him with a white cloth. I saw it with my own eyes, Gilbert. How are you going to get out of this?" Kisa broke down in tears with grief.Gilbert just stood there as if he was just struck by lightning. Their children were obviously fine. Andrew and Ada were fine. So who was the child she saw?Back then, Gilbert rushed to the prison when he learned that there was a fire and that Kisa had died in the fire. When he arrived, the prison was burned into ruins. The dean handed him two babies. He said Kisa was about to give birth whe
"No," Gilbert replied as he continued to eat breakfast.Ada did not believe him. She pouted her lips and retorted, "Ma'am was fine yesterday. You must've bullied her. Why else would she not look happy this morning?"Gilbert took a deep breath, and said, "Eat your breakfast. I'll drive you to school once you finish." It was obvious that Gilbert was angry, so Andrew kept quiet obediently.On the other hand, Blake buried his head in his breakfast without a word."Ma'am is going to be my mommy in three years. Stop bullying her, Daddy. If she gets mad and runs away, I won't have a mommy anymore!" Ada warned Gilbert with an angry and serious look on her face.Gilbert grabbed a tissue and casualty wiped his mouth. "Don't worry, she can't run away," he said in an extremely stern tone.After that, Gilbert got up and went to the balcony to smoke. Ada looked at her father angrily, and said to the two older brothers, "Daddy is mean. He must've bullied Ma'am."Andrew nodded hurriedly at her
"Oh my god, today's entertainment section is filled with news about Mr. Kooper's visit to the mall with his new girlfriend. Tsk tsk, he's even more popular than an international superstar," Lea exclaimed.Kisa pursed her lips and said nothing. Part of Gilbert's fame came from being the CEO of GK Pictures. Moreover, he went shopping with a "mysterious woman" yesterday. The media liked to pry into the private lives of public figures, so it was not a surprise that he was all over the entertainment news. But Kisa did not expect that a reporter would secretly photograph them when they went to the mall yesterday.'Thank god I covered myself up yesterday. Otherwise, I'd be in so much trouble right now.'Lea was still shocked by the news. "Mr. Kooper is so famous that the stores he visited are filled with people today. Tsk, look at this mobile phone store. It's so crowded."Kisa shook her head amusedly. 'It's not like he's the reincarnation of some immortal deity or something. Why are peop
