Kisa had been waiting to hear from Jensen for many days. Upon seeing Jensen's call, she felt a sense of happiness. She took the phone and went to the balcony to answer it.Gilbert narrowed his eyes and looked icily at her. He had just glimpsed the caller ID; it was Jensen. 'Does she have to be so happy when Jensen calls her? Her beaming face is eye-glaring indeed.'Blake put his school bag away, then trotted back to the doorway to help his uncle carry the groceries. "Why are you standing at the doorway, Uncle Gilbert?"Gilbert glanced at him, then at Kisa, and said to him, "Your dad called your ma'am. Do you want to talk to your godfather?"Blake shook his head and spoke his mind with simple logic. "If Dad wanted to talk to me, he would have asked Ma'am to give me her cell phone, but Ma'am has been holding the phone, so Dad's call must be for her, not me."Gilbert was speechless. 'Great. Now I can't even fool a five-year-old.' At first, he thought of letting Blake distract the two
Jensen lowered his eyes, drawing back any emotions left in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "That is the only way."Kisa had just hung up the phone when she saw Blake staring at her. It startled her for a second before she asked in bafflement, "What is wrong?""Ma'am, what did Dad say to you?""Huh, how did you know it was your Dad calling?" Kisa wondered as she remembered she didn't mention Jensen's name just now."Uncle Gilbert told me. He said that Dad called you.""Oh, it was him." Kisa instantly knew that it was Gilbert who had sent the boy. She patted Blake on the head and said gently, "Your dad said nothing to me, just some personal matter. Be a good boy in the meantime. He'll be back soon.""Okay. I'll be a good boy," Blake said and dashed back into the kitchen.Gilbert was cutting meat when he saw Blake coming in. He did not ask but waited for Blake to tell him."Uncle Gilbert, Ma'am said that Dad said nothing to her. She also said that what Dad said to her was perso
"Come on, let me see. Did you cut off your finger?" Kisa sounded like she was gloating over his misfortune.Gilbert was enraged. 'She wishes I had cut off my finger. Is she that disgusted with me?' Turning off the faucet, he hid his injured hand and said sulkily, "I'm fine.""Oh... Blake was screaming like you had cut your finger off." Kisa looked apathetic. "Don't make a mountain out of a molehill as a man. Look how scared Blake is. He is almost crying." Gilbert used to accuse her of exaggerating things. Now it was her turn to return the favor.Gilbert looked grave as he clenched his hands at his side. Because of using too much force, blood oozed out of the wound and dripped onto the floor again.Kisa glanced down at the blood on the ground and grunted in disgust. "Can't you quickly get your finger bandaged? Blood is dripping everywhere, and I must clean up after you." It sounded like she did not feel sorry for him but only disgusted and indifferent.Gilbert was terribly upset. I
Gilbert and the three children were sitting silently on the couch. Kisa put the food on the table and asked them with amusement, "What? Are you all under a freezing spell?"Gilbert looked at her with a sullen face and said nothing.Andrew jumped off the couch and ran up to Kisa. "Ma'am, Daddy's finger has lost a lot of blood."Kisa glanced at the Band-Aid in his hand and asked, puzzled, "A bandage won't stop his bleeding? It is not like he has a disease that won't stop bleeding."Gilbert let out sardonic laughter. 'Look how disgusted and sarcastic she is.' He clenched his fists in sudden anger, and the wound that had stopped bleeding bled again.Andrew shook his head at Kisa and said, "Daddy won't use the bandage.""Oh..." Kisa gave a sarcastic laugh. "He is certainly a CEO of a certain prestige. Even when he had a minor cut on his finger, he had to summon his private doctor over and bandage the wound. Otherwise, how can he show his prestigious status?"The kids did not understa
Andrew glanced into the garbage can and shook his head like an adult. "You lost so much blood for nothing. What a shame.""Uncle Gilbert, please take care of yourself next time. If you can quickly stop the bleeding, then stop the bleeding as quickly as you can. Don't wait for others." Blake also sounded like an adult as he lectured Gilbert. "Dad often told me we need to help ourselves and never hope for others to help us."Kisa could not help but burst out in a burst of stifled laughter. She had never thought that Gilbert would be lectured by three five-year-olds today.Gilbert was frustrated. He stared at Kisa's smiling face and said intimidatingly, "I dare you to laugh again."Kisa was not afraid of him. She provoked him by saying, "So what if I laugh? My emotion is mine to control. I can laugh if I like, so what?"Gilbert nodded. "Okay, you'd better not cry tonight."His ambiguous tone startled Kisa for a moment, and she stopped saying another word. 'What a shameless man. We a
Suddenly, the other side of the bed she was sleeping on sank, which jolted Kisa out of her sleep as she tried to sit up reflexively. Before she could react, a powerful force pulled her back. She shrieked as the weight came down on her, along with the familiar scent drifting into her nostrils.Enraged, she gritted her teeth and snarled, "How did you get in here?""I just walked in." The man's voice was mellow and low, like he was holding back some emotion.Kisa struggled to push him away. "Impossible. I locked the door, and you have no key. You couldn't have come in.""Are you so sure I don't have a key?""You!" Kisa was desperate. 'So he has already quietly duplicated the key? How despicable! D*mn!' She pushed against his chest in anger. But he came down harder on her, their faces so close to each other that she could smell his hot breath blowing all over her face, causing her face to blush. "What the hell do you want?" She yelled angrily, for losing sleep, as Gilbert held her tig
Kisa screamed and held his wayward hand down, her eyes red with shame and anger. "Gilbert, stop it.""Didn't you say I never thought of you as my wife? At this moment, I treat you completely as my wife. Shouldn't you satisfy me as a wife should in this regard?"Because of her resistance, a hint of anger appeared on Gilbert's face. Kisa looked at him in fright. When she looked back, there were only two times when they had made love. Once was a setup when Gilbert was delirious and took her for someone else. The other time was when he forced himself on her to humiliate her. They have been married for so long yet have never really gotten genuinely intimate. It was sad and ironic when thinking of the past. But now, with so many grudges and hatred between them, it was impossible for her to love him.As she was lost in thought, Gilbert's hand broke free from her grasp and continued to caress her. Feeling his frenzy and eagerness, Kisa simply stopped struggling and asked him sarcastically,
A faint scream suddenly came from downstairs.Kisa said to the stiff man above her half smilingly, "It seems like the soundproofing isn't good here.The window was half open. A breeze came in and sent the screams more clearly into their ears.Gilbert's face was dark, and his body was tense and depressed.Kisa held him and sat up. She puffed at him elegantly on purpose. "Look. She is so obsessed with you. She even comes here to look for you. Sigh. Send her away in a hurry. Otherwise, all the neighbors will be awakened by her, and others will complain about me tomorrow...."Gilbert blocked her lips suddenly and kissed her fiercely before she could finish speaking."Ah!"Suddenly, Gilbert bit her maliciously.Kisa was in pain and pushed him away. She frowned and yelled, "Are you crazy?"There was a burning pain on her lips. She touched it with her finger and felt the blood on the tip of her finger.She took two breaths and stared at the man in front of her angrily. "Are you a cr
