"Grandma, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."Madalyn was about to say something more, but Gilbert had already walked out, leaving Madalyn holding her cane in grief. "George, what do you think we should do now?""Mrs. Kooper Sr., let him be. You know he is headstrong and will stick it to the end when he loves someone. So why break them up?"Madalyn shook her head and said sadly, "You don't understand. Had that thing never happened, I could have agreed to them being together. Now that the thing is standing between them, it will kill Gilbert when he finds out the truth, and that pain is no less than being separated from that woman. So I can only try to prevent them from being together now."George was still none the wiser. "Which thing are you talking about, Mrs. Kooper Sr.?"Madalyn waved her hand and shook her head. "Forget it. I don't want to mention the past, but Gilbert should never be with her in this life."George sighed sadly.When Gilbert heard the recorded conversation
Even if Kisa covered herself from top to toe, Gilbert could recognize her instantly. 'The weather has turned colder. Where is she going at this hour?' While he was thinking, Kisa got into her car and drove off. With no time to think, Gilbert turned the car around and followed her.It was almost 9.00 pm, and there were still many people and cars on the street.Gilbert was following Kisa's car closely, afraid to lose her. After about half an hour, Kisa's car drove toward the airport. It puzzled Gilbert. 'Why is she going to the airport at this hour? Is she going to another city to attend some event? If she is going to an event, why isn't her assistant following her?' He followed her into the parking area of the airport. Kisa got out of the car and went straight toward the arrival hall. She also made a phone call while walking. Gilbert frowned. 'Is she coming to pick up someone? Is the person that important for her to pick him up personally at this hour?' Suppressing his curiosity, he h
Kisa drove Jensen to a restaurant serving Lyonnaise cuisine. She unbuckled her seat belt and smiled at Jensen. "The food in this restaurant is good. Gilbert took the kids and me here once before. You can try it."Jensen smiled. "Good, I like Lyonnaise cuisine."Kisa smiled and got out of the car. "Did you have a pleasant trip?""Yeah."Gilbert watched quietly as the two walked into the restaurant together, his grip on the steering wheel tightening.Kisa had reserved a private room. She took off her mask, took a deep breath, and sighed. "This is much more comfortable."Jensen looked at her with amusement. "It is tiring to be an artist, isn't it?""It is alright. Fame and inconvenience always go hand in hand."Jensen smiled and looked at her with gentle eyes. "By the way, I have watched the premiere of your drama. It has a high viewership, rating, and great public praise. Kohen is pleased with your performance."Kisa was relieved upon hearing what Jensen said, but she remained m
Kisa froze for a second, then slowly put down her cutlery and asked in a deep voice, "Where is he? Can you... can you arrange for me to meet with him?"Jensen hid the emotion in his eyes and said, "He is here because of work and may be a little busy. Don't worry. He will meet you soon."Kisa was surprised. "He will meet me?""Yes." Jensen nodded his head, picked up the cutlery, fetched her some pork ribs, and said, "He is also a successful investor. He told me he wanted to invest in a drama and wanted you to be the female lead. So he will meet you when the time comes, both for business and private purposes."Kisa nodded, somewhat curious about this mysterious person who saved her. But she was more curious about how Jensen had found him. She looked at Jensen. "How did you know he was the mystery man who saved me back then?""He told me."Kisa became more and more curious. "He told you?"Jensen was a bit amused seeing her surprised look. "Don't worry. Let's eat, and I will slowly
'They are not going back home at all. They have only been apart for a short while, yet they are already so attached to each other.' Gilbert was mad at the thought of it.Finally, the car Gilbert was tailing stopped in front of a movie theater. Gilbert parked across the street and watched the two walking side by side into the cinema. They were like a couple in love, and it hurt his eyes to see this. 'She has never watched a movie with me. I didn't realize it wasn't that she didn't like to watch movies, but she had to watch it with Jensen.'"There is only one sci-fi movie left at this point. Are you interested?" Jensen said after checking the movies on his phone. "If we had arrived ten minutes earlier, we might have been able to catch a romance movie. If you don't feel like watching sci-fi, we can just go for a walk along the riverbank.""Come on, since we are here, we will definitely watch it," Kisa said with amusement. "Besides, sci-fi movies are great. I enjoy watching them.""Tha
Kisa was not in her room. The bedding on the bed was neatly folded, and at a glance, it was clear that Kisa had stayed out all night. Lea wondered why Kisa had not come home all night. When she thought of Kisa telling her she would pick up Jensen last night, she suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in surprise, "No way. Kisa spent the night outside with Jensen last night?" After saying that, she realized she had made a blunder. She hurriedly covered her mouth and looked at Gilbert anxiously. But Gilbert did not pay any attention to her and just leaned back on the couch with his eyes closed.At this time, the three children came out of their rooms in tandem. Ada saw Gilbert on the couch and went over to him. "Daddy, when did you get here?"Thinking that Gilbert was in a dark mood and afraid it might affect the children, Lea hurriedly pulled Ada over.Ada was puzzled. "Auntie Lea, what is wrong?""N-Nothing. Your daddy just came over, and he is a little tired. So let's not dis
The hot water washed over the body and rinsed away the fatigue. Feeling comfortable, Kisa stood under the showerhead for a long time before turning off the water heater. Wrapping a towel around her, she went to the dressing mirror and picked up the hair dryer hanging on the wall to blow-dry her hair. Her hair was so thick and long that it took a while to dry. Turning off the hair dryer, she tightened the towel around her body, opened the bathroom door, and walked outside.The house was quiet, perfect for sleeping. She yawned, picked up her phone, and leisurely headed to her room. Once inside, she first went to draw the blackout curtains. Once she drew the curtains, the room instantly turned dark. She turned around and fumbled to turn on the light beside the headboard. The light that was turned on shimmered in a soft, warm yellow light. She went to the closet, unwrapped the bath towel, and then searched through the cupboard for a robe. Suddenly, she heard the faint sound of someone bre
'He's crazy,' Kisa thought. 'He's getting angry for no reason.'"Tell me, what did you and Jensen do last night?" Gilbert gritted his teeth and asked, his voice getting deeper."We didn't do anything. What are you getting so mad for?" Kisa replied, confused."You guys didn't do anything? Hah," Gilbert sneered. Didn't you pick him up at the airport? Didn't you guys grab some food, watch a movie, and... have sex?""You were stalking me?" Gilbert's last two words did not register in Kisa's head. All she could think about was that this man had followed her the night before. She was disgusted. "Are you crazy? Why did you stalk me?""Why would you care if you guys really didn't have sex?"Kisa laughed. "Sex? Is that what's all in that dirty mind of yours?""Shut up!" Gilbert was trembling in anger, his hand almost breaking Kisa's wrist. Kisa was in so much pain that she wanted to scream. She bit her lower lip and stared at the man in front of her. "Whether you believe it or not, we di
