The two looked at each other, one drunk, the other deeply affectionate.Gilbert slowly moved toward her. Just as his lips were about to touch hers, she suddenly closed her eyes and let out a loud snore. Gilbert pulled away in amusement. 'She couldn't have fallen asleep any timelier than this.' He got up, set Kisa in a comfortable sleeping position, and covered her up. Through the quilt, he held her tightly in his arms. He could only hold her hand through the quilt at the moment. Otherwise, he really would not be able to resist taking advantage of the opportunity to make love to her. When he thought of Kisa calling him 'darling' and even saying 'I love you' to him, it filled his heart with joy and tenderness. Although she only said it while drunk, it still thrilled him to hear it. He even wished the time could stay still forever, so he could always have her like this. He stared at Kisa's sleeping face as if he could not get enough of it.After a long while, he held her hand up with th
When he came out again, he had a small bowl of soup in his hand. He put the soup in front of Kisa and said with a natural expression, "This is the miso soup I cooked for you. Drink it before you eat breakfast. Otherwise, your stomach will get upset, and your head will hurt."Kisa looked at the muddy soup in front of her and was a little creeped out."D-Did you say this is miso soup?" she swallowed and frowned as she pushed the soup back to him. 'It is muddy, like poison. Who dares to drink it?'Gilbert saw her disgusted look and was not too happy. Despite having never cooked soup for anyone in his entire life, he purposely followed the video tutorial to make such a bowl of miso soup because he was afraid she would wake up with a hangover. But she did not like it. Gilbert brought the bowl of soup in front of her again and said, "I cooked this for you myself. It is not hot. Drink it."Kisa frowned, not able to hide the disgust on her face. "I appreciate your kindness. Didn't you also
Kisa subconsciously went to open the door and was stunned to see Davian standing outside with a case of wine in his arms. "What are you doing?" she asked.Davian came in past her and put the wine on the table. "Have you forgotten that Mr. Kooper has asked me to send a case of wine over? Here you go. Where is Mr. Kooper?"Kisa could not believe that Gilbert really asked Davian to bring a case of red wine over. She felt more and more that Gilbert was a bit childish.Davian took the wine out, set it up for her, and asked, "Where is Mr. Kooper?""Well, you take the wine back. Didn't I tell you Mr. Kooper was joking with you?""Please, Mrs. Kooper. This wine is so rare that I had to go to many places before I managed to buy a case. I don't want to lose my job to someone else."Kisa pursed her lips and thought for a moment. "All right, but you have to answer a few questions."Davian was puzzled. "Sure, Mrs. Kooper.""What was Gilbert doing five years ago when the prison fire started?
"Well, Mrs. Kooper, I really have to go." Davian fled as if he was afraid of accidentally saying something he should not say.Kisa furrowed her brow. 'Davian hasn't told the whole truth about the identity of Andrew's and Ada's mother. He knows who the mother is. But just why did he refuse to tell me?' She wrung her hands as the bold speculation kept lingering on her mind. She did not dare to think about it, fearing that it was just an unrealistic hope of hers. 'When the shooting of the drama is over, I'm going to verify it if there is a chance. No matter the outcome, I could at least stop thinking about it.'..."Mr. Kooper, Mrs. Kooper suddenly asked me who Andrew and Ada's mother was.""How did you answer?" Gilbert flickered the ashes off the cigarette in his hand."Of course, I told her I didn't know. I wouldn't dare to say anything without your permission." Davian then pursed his lips in hesitation. "To be honest, Mrs. Kooper treats Andrew and Ada very well, and they also like
"It is Goddess of My Adoration," Lea said, holding the tablet in front of her. "Look, although the two dramas were released on different platforms, both of which are major ones. Goddess of My Adoration has just garnered over ten million views, while yours has as high as two hundred million."Kisa was somewhat relieved. At first, she thought The Legend of Luna was performing poorly."And your rating was 8.6, to begin with, while Goddess of My Adoration was 3.4, and all the people down there were cursing Sharon and her drama. Tsk..." Lea said. "I pity other actors who have worked so hard. I just don't understand; Sharon's reputation has gone to the dogs, yet Mr. Kooper hasn't put her on the bench. Instead, he let her finish the drama and released it on the same day as yours. Isn't he inviting trouble?" Lea had many questions in mind.But Kisa just smiled. She did not think Gilbert was a fool. She knew men like Gilbert would not make such a mistake in the business world. He probably ha
Sharon was secretly pleased. Even if she could not get Gilbert to love her, she would not let Kisa have it.Kisa could now enjoy a rare moment of freedom, even after the drama was wrapped up. She and Lea stayed at home and watched dramas every day. She watched her drama with extra seriousness and was always thinking about improving her acting skills.One day, Lea saw something funny and laughed out loud. She came up to Kisa. "Look at the comments for the Goddess of My Adoration today. I'm laughing my head off."Seeing Lea's hilarity, Kisa could not help but be curious. She paused the video she was watching and leaned over to look at Lea's tablet.[The female lead's acting skill is garbage. Her face must have had plastic surgery to look that creepy.][Ahh! I think her face job must have gone horribly wrong; her chin looks like a hoe."][The female lead is disgusting. I heard she peed in their pants when abducted. Tsk, goddess, my foot! She is sickening.]The third comment had rec
Kisa's eyes were downcast, and she was silent. 'Madalyn is really up to no good; I could tell by the tone of her voice. It is as if she is facing an enemy.'"You think you are so good now that you're a superstar? How dare you be so arrogant toward me?" Madalyn's voice turned harsher the longer she spoke.Kisa pursed her lips before she asked, "What do you want to talk about, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?""Humph!" Madalyn snorted. "Meet me alone at the teahouse on West Avenue in half an hour," Madalyn said in a stern, commanding tone of voice that allowed no one to retort before hanging up.Lea saw Kisa's expression and was worried. "What is wrong with you?"Kisa shook her head and stared at the dimmed phone screen. Something bad happened every time Madalyn contacted her. She wondered if there was a secret plot against her again. She was hesitant to go when Madalyn suddenly sent her another message.[I wanted to talk to you about the prison fire five years ago. Come if you are interested.]K
"Did you always wonder if Gilbert was behind the prison fire?"Kisa did not answer but asked instead, "Did Gilbert tell you that?""You don't need to know who told me. I asked you to come here today just to tell you that Gilbert was behind the prison fire." Kisa's eyes widened in shock as Madalyn sneered, "I'm Gilbert's grandma, and he cares most about me. It was you who caused me to fall into a coma, so Gilbert's hatred for you was obvious. He had been compassionate toward you by setting you on fire.""You know very well that it wasn't me who caused you to fall into a coma.""So what? As long as Gilbert thinks it was you." Madalyn laughed.Kisa felt a chill running up her spine. 'Judging by Madalyn's tone of voice, she apparently knows who exactly injured her, but she deliberately keeps it to herself and makes everyone think I have done it. She really hates me so much. But why?'"The other day, Gilbert told me he had someone set fire to burn you alive in prison to avenge me, but
