He woke up, and Kelvin was the first thing that caught his eye. Kelvin had both his hands in his pockets while leaning by the window.Seeing him awake, Kelvin could not help but mock him, "Can't you take care of your body properly and let me have some fun out there for a few days?"Gilbert stared at the ceiling emotionlessly, without making a sound.If it wasn't for both his eyes that were opened wide, no one would have known he was awake."I heard your injuries were caused by Kisa stabbing you again?" Kelvin asked.Gilbert still did not make a sound.Kelvin exclaimed with a sigh and raised his feet to walk toward him."That woman and these injuries are truly destined for each other. I wonder if she would stab you at the same place for the third time.""She wouldn't." He finally spoke. His voice was so gravelly that his ears would hurt.Kelvin quickly poured a cup of water for him. Yet when water was passed in front of him, he turned his head without a hint of gratefulness. Ke
"Dad..." Blake looked at Jensen, "Did something happen to Uncle Gilbert and Aunt Kisa?"Jensen scrunched his brows thoughtfully, " Why would you think that way?'"In the morning, Uncle Gilbert wasn't acting right. His expression wasn't good. He also reeked of a strong booze smell. Besides, Aunt Kisa would be home every day, but she wasn't this morning."Jensen was helpless. Without a doubt, this kid's mind was very sensitive.Generally, children at this age would not have noticed these details, but he caught them. He took Blake by the hand to the side of the window and spoke to him earnestly, "You should stop imagining these things. Your uncle and aunt are fine.""Then are they having a quarrel?" Blake asked.Jensen kept quiet this time. Blake looked at him, upset, " Dad, I don't want Uncle Gilbert and Aunt Kisa to argue. I wish they could live together happily."Jensen asked him with mixed feelings, " You really like them, right?"Blake nodded his head heavily, "They are my fa
Jensen twitched his lips in self-mockery. The person with the most right to blame him in this world was Kisa herself, because she was the only person besides his mother to have treated him well, but he was doing things that were harming her.In the Kooper mansion, Madalyn organized the servants to make a table full of delicious dishes. She even kept Kelvin and Gracie over for a meal at the Kooper residence.As for Sharon, when Gilbert was hurt those few days, she was always at the Kooper residence taking care of Gilbert. Hence during mealtimes, she would also be by the dining table. With the additional people, the Kooper house was a little livelier. However, this type of liveliness was still less cheerful without the sound of children.Madalyn spoke to Gilbert, " Your injuries are almost healed. In two more days, go fetch Ada and Andrew back. I've missed them so much recently."Gilbert lightly nodded his head.Sharon took the opportunity to say, " That's right, always throwing the
Gilbert drank his bowl of soup and replied softly. Madalyn was ecstatic beyond compare and quickly poured another bowl of soup for him.But Sharon grew restless and spoke to Madalyn, worried, " This doesn't seem appropriate. Gilbert was just hurt by that woman. Wouldn't it be a little too much of a hurry to introduce a girl to him immediately right now? Why don't we let Gilbert settle down before discussing it?""I don't think it's inappropriate," Kelvin suddenly chuckled, " His type of condition requires a new relationship to wash away the sorrow in his heart. If this new relationship works out, I believe Gilbert will definitely cheer up very quickly. In the future, he would be more and more joyful.""Mm...," Madalyn repeatedly nodded, " What Kelvin said is reasonable, so Gilbert, you must meet up with the girl tomorrow. I will give you the time and venue later.""Alright," Regardless of what Madalyn was saying or even what anyone said, Gilbert would always answer with no expressi
Kisa had not stepped outside of the house for many days. These days, her phone had surprisingly not rung. Besides sleeping, she would eat for the whole day and be starting to be more and more unwilling to socialize with people.That night, Jensen brought the kids over. The kids were happy to see her, and Kisa showed a long-awaited smile. Jensen even bought a lot of cooking materials over.When the kids arrived, her mood was instantly better, and she carried the vegetables to the kitchen to be cooked. Blake came in to assist her while Jensen was in the living room, telling Ada and Andrew a story. Kisa took out the ingredients she wanted to use first and left the others for Blake to sort into the refrigerator.Blake's movements were adept. From a glance, it was apparent he frequently did these chores for his family. Her gaze on Blake grew softer and softer. Sometimes she was envious of Mia and Jensen for having such a well-behaved and mature son."Aunt Kisa, will Uncle Gilbert be com
Sharon's sarcastic laugh sounded once the phone call was connected. "You're such a coward. Are you scared to meet up for a meal in broad daylight?"Kisa looked at the time and realized there were still 15 minutes left before it turned 11 o'clock. 'Seems like Sharon's really desperate to have me attend this meal.'Kisa smirked. "It's not even time yet. Why are you in a rush?""I was just afraid you didn't have the guts to show up.""Just wait and see. I have nothing else left but guts," Kisa hung up the phone call with a sneer. 'I really want to see what game Sharon is playing.'The sun was shining bright outside today.Kisa wore light denim jeans and a loose designer sweater, looking casual and stylish at the same time.Southcity Cafe was about a twenty-minute drive from her place. It was a high-end restaurant as well as a city landmark on the city's south side. The restaurant was only accessible to members. Regular people would be unable to dine in because membership was limite
Kisa froze, but she did not show it out. "Oh really, you invited him too?" Her heart felt a seizing pain thinking back of the man's sharp and merciless humiliation that day. She plucked off the flower petals and gently rubbed the petals between her fingers. "I really shouldn't be here since you invited him. I shouldn't be interrupting you, right?"At that moment, Kisa really wanted to run away. She had no intentions of meeting Gilbert. She had no idea how she should face Gilbert. If she knew Sharon invited Gilbert, she would have never attended today.Sharon looked at Kisa and chuckled. "You're wrong. You should be here. Or else, how will you see your ex-husband going on a blind date?"'Blind date?' While wondering, a familiar figure suddenly walked over from the stairs. Kisa got tensed, and her fingers squeezed the petals in her hand. Her stunned gaze met with Gilbert's cold eyes, but as if he didn't see her, Gilbert looked away with not even the slightest difference of change. She
Gilbert closed the menu and said calmly, "There's no need for it. You guys go ahead."Sharon smiled, "Come on, Gilbert. We hardly meet each other. It'll be fun to have a meal together. Besides that, you could introduce this beautiful lady to us too."Gilbert remained silent. Emma pressed her lips together shyly," She's right. Why don't we join them?""Your wish," Gilbert said these two words in a flat tone. Emma could not figure him out and smiled at Sharon. "Why don't you and your friend sit here? Mr. Kooper ordered a lot just now.""Alright, I'll go call my friend," Sharon said and dragged Kisa. Kisa was not bashful. She nodded and smiled at Emma, then took a seat. Emma sized her up and smiled uncomfortably, "You're Kisa Becker?"The moment Emma mentioned Kisa's name, Sharon was filled with jealousy. 'Didn't she say she wasn't familiar with the local entertainment industry? Why would she know Kisa then?' thought Sharon.Kisa affirmed with a smile, "Hi, I'm Kisa Becker.""I rea
