"Mr. Kooper has a surprise for that b*tch. Aren't you upset, Kisa?"Kisa looked at her in puzzlement. "What is there to be upset? Come on. It is time to pick up the children from school."Seeing Kisa's carefree attitude, Lea stared at her and spread out her hands helplessly. "Okay, I was apparently overthinking it."Sharon arrived at Gilbert's villa with great enthusiasm. The house was usually unoccupied, so there was no maid. The door was ajar, and there was a car parked on the porch. The same one Gilbert usually drove. Thinking that Gilbert was waiting for her in the house at this moment, her heart was excited. She hurriedly took out the small makeup mirror from her handbag, did some touchup, and then walked into the courtyard.As she came in front of the door, she smiled, pushed the door open, and walked in. Although it was not yet dark, the curtains around the house were drawn, so it was dark. The living room table was lit with candles, next to a bouquet of bright roses, as wel
"I-I didn't." Sharon shook her head vigorously.Gilbert sneered, "You're as good as dead. Who are you still trying to fool?" He said, signaling the four men to continue. The four men quickly pinned Sharon down to the ground.Sharon broke down and screamed in terror. "Gilbert, don't do this. Help me. Don't do this. I-I was wrong. I admit I hired someone to violate her dignity that night. Gilbert, I was wrong. I was wrong. Please, let me go."Gilbert looked at the woman's sobbing face nonchalantly. After a while, he said to the four men, "All right, you can stand down now."Sharon hurriedly crawled to Gilbert's feet. She could not even care less about her torn collar as she grabbed his pants and cried, "I didn't mean to violate that woman's dignity. It is just that she is too obnoxious. Really, Gilbert, I just couldn't control my anger. But you said before, no matter what mistakes I made, you won't mind."Gilbert leaned over slightly and sneered at her. "Even if that woman is too ob
"Ma'am, is my daddy coming over today?"Kisa silently put the three children's school bags away. Thinking of the man who was surprising Sharon, she whispered, "Your daddy won't be coming over today.""Oh..." Ada answered in a whisper, feeling Kisa was in a bad mood today. Andrew, Blake, and she obediently took their homework and went to their desks.Kisa felt a touch of consolation when seeing their well behavior and understanding. She smiled at the three of them and said, "What would you like for dinner? I'm going to make it for you now."Ada thought for a moment and said, "I would like to have baked pork ribs with potatoes.""What about Andrew?""I would like lemon butter salmon."Kisa looked at Blake again. "What about you?" Blake was the most subtle and least talkative of the three children. Whenever she saw Blake, she would unconsciously feel sorry for him.Blake smiled gently. "I would like whatever you cook. I like all the food you cook.""Okay." Kisa patted him on the
"Wow, daddy, you're back!" Ada came up to greet Gilbert joyfully.Gilbert gently stroked her little bun of hair. "Have you been good today?""Yeah. Andrew and I have been well-behaved today."Blake got up and said to Gilbert, "Uncle Gilbert, Ma'am just made dinner, and we haven't even started eating yet. So why don't you eat with us?"Andrew ran into the kitchen to get a set of tableware, and Kisa was not very happy when she saw this. She leaned back in her chair and grinned. "You guys better not worry about him and just eat. He must have already eaten.""I haven't." Gilbert suddenly spoke, his voice mixed with a hint of pity.Kisa sneered. "Didn't you prepare a surprise for the woman tonight? Didn't you have a candlelight dinner with her?""Yes, I did," Gilbert said. "I just didn't eat it.""You didn't eat it, so who is to blame?" Kisa snorted and sat up straight to serve the three children.Ada pouted and looked up at Gilbert. "Daddy, are you sure you haven't eaten?""Yes.
"This isn't meant for you originally." Kisa slammed the plate of food on the table with force, her face expressionless. "I made extra just in case the three children wanted seconds. Besides, the leftovers would be my meal for tomorrow.""It is unhealthy to eat overnight food too often.""It is not for you anyway. Why do you have to be so concerned? Besides, I don't plan to give the kids leftover food either."Oh." Gilbert smiled, lowered his head, and dug in.The three children looked at each other, and then they, too, tucked in. 'Ma'am is in a bad mood today, so we shouldn't make her angry,' they thought to themselves.Seeing that the three children only ate the meat, Kisa shook her head helplessly and put some salad on Andrew's, Blake's, and Ada's plates.Gilbert glanced up and smiled. "Where's mine?"Kisa had no words. She said, "Don't you have hands? Can't you do it yourself?"The three children looked at Kisa warily, not daring to make a sound. Ada took the salad from her
Gilbert was the first to open his mouth when he saw Kisa was not talking.Kisa sneered, "Really? Then I really have to congratulate you guys; always so in love. Let me give you a suggestion." Gilbert stared at her as she let out a nonchalant smile. "Why don't you just divorce me to make a clean break and marry that woman? I'm sure she will be thrilled. It will be more useful than any surprise."'I told her today that you had prepared a surprise for me, but she was not upset and wished us a lifetime of love and happiness. I asked her why she wasn't upset, and she said she had Jensen and no reason for her to get upset.' With Sharon's words echoing in his ears, Gilbert's face darkened, and he fought back his emotions and asked, "You are really not angry at all that I surprised that woman?"Kisa laughed. "Why should I be angry? You can surprise whoever you want. Why should I be upset?""Aren't you curious about what I'm surprising her with?""No."Kisa's unconcerned look finally upse
The sullen expression on Gilbert's face vanished. The speed of change was as quick as lightning. He stood up at once and held her shoulders, slightly emotional. "So, you're jealous of her too?""Uh-huh." Kisa nodded her head haphazardly. She thought she could say whatever she wanted as long as he was happy.Without the dismal look, he looked at her with affection. "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were upset? I thought—""What is the point of telling you earlier? What if you use it to mock me?""You fool." Gilbert sighed softly, and he suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms.Kisa was wide-eyed as she could vaguely sense he was doting on her. 'It is an illusion. It must be an illusion.' She told herself in her mind. "So..." Kisa pushed him away gently, "You are not angry anymore?""Then you just said you cared about Jensen—""That was a lie. I said it on purpose to piss you off."The gloom had gone entirely from Gilbert's face, and he smiled and shook his head. "Okay, I'
Feeling that Gilbert was about to get angry, Kisa decided to stay silent and not push the issue any further. She merely smiled and said to him, " Thanks."Gilbert coldly huffed and furrowed his menacing eyebrows. Kisa faked a smile as she broke loose from his grip, " It's getting late. I'll be returning to my room first. You should rest early too."Gilbert chuckled and spoke to her from behind, " Are you only going to treat me decently when you need something from me? "He had felt something off when Kisa started treating him so well. Turns out she had something to ask of him. She had been like this from the start. Her kindness toward him had always harbored hidden intentions behind it. This was the part of her he hated the most, yet it was the part of her that he was the most helpless against.Kisa stopped in her tracks and did not speak. Gilbert then pulled at his tie irritatingly. He leaned back onto the sofa and quietly stared at the maroon tie in his hands. His furrowed brows
