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
Kisa lowered her gaze and realized it was Jensen calling. 'He may be calling about the guy who saved my life,' she thought. She then unconsciously pushed Gilbert away and knelt to pick up her phone. However, when she was about to answer the call, he snatched the phone off the ground."Give me back my phone," Kisa said as she tried to get it back.Gilbert looked at the caller ID and mocked, "Look at yourself. Why are you so on edge about his call if there's really nothing going on between you two?""No... It's because..." Kisa shut her mouth immediately after that. 'I cannot let him know about this. After all. I don't know who started the fire yet, and he's still a potential suspect. If he were the one behind all this, he would definitely cause trouble for the person who saved my life.'"What? Why did you stop?" Gilbert's expression became colder when he saw that Kisa had stopped talking."I'll explain everything to you later. Just give me back my phone first.""Haha!" Gilbert let
Gilbert turned the tap on and washed his face with some cold water. He pressed his hands onto the sink as he looked into the mirror. He had a self-deprecating smile as a pair of bloodshot eyes stared back at him. 'What have I become? All this for a woman?' He felt a sort of sick satisfaction with what he had done to Kisa earlier, but he also deeply regretted his actions at the same time. 'I told myself I would never touch that woman like that again, but what did I just do?'Gilbert's temples throbbed. He hit the sink irritably, adding a new wound to his already injured knuckles. Water was still dripping from his messy hair. He stared at the mirror for a long time before walking out of the bathroom.Suddenly, the bathroom door slammed open. A fruit knife flew toward Gilbert at the speed of light. He did not dodge. Instead, he just watched the woman try to stab him with hatred plastered across her face. It seemed like he was betting with himself that she would not actually be heartless
