Gilbert's room remained lit. Kisa badly wanted to go upstairs and see him.George glanced at her and did not say anything more. Then, he turned around and entered the house.Sharon, who stood by the entrance, said something to George with an icy expression. Kisa could not hear what Sharon said, but she was sure it was not nice.Since Lea was starving, she quickly finished the entire bowl of spaghetti.Meanwhile, Kisa held the plate of spaghetti and remained unmoved.She could not stomach anything without knowing about Gilbert's condition.She handed her spaghetti to Lea, "You can have mine. I'm not hungry.""That won't do. You should at least have a little.""I really don't have the appetite," Kisa said, shoving the plate into Lea's hands.Lea sighed helplessly and did not respond.Meanwhile, Jensen returned to the resort in the middle of the night, reeking of alcohol.Mia was sitting in the living room waiting for him. When she saw him staggering into the house, she quickly
"Well, I did it for you."Adrien looked at him with a frank expression. There was a hint of mockery in his smile, "If I didn't do this, how would you know what you are to your grandmother? I've already said this long ago: to her, only Gilbert is her grandchild. You're merely a dog she had adopted out of false goodwill. To her, you were a dog with many uses. Not only could you keep Gilbert company, but you could protect him too. They could even order you around at their disposal and throw you out when they no longer need you. I can't believe you still care about them after all these years. Oh, Jensen, you just can't seem to see the truth."Adrien puffed his cigarette. Through the cigarette smoke, his smiling face seemed incredibly mocking.Jensen tightened his fists and roared at him resentfully, "Even so, what's it got to do with you? However they treat me, it's still better than how you treated me. Who are you to criticize them or mock me? You're even more heartless compared to the
"I could hear you all arguing from upstairs. What's the matter?"Peter peered at the bruise on Jensen's face and the blood by the corner of his lips."You got beaten up?" he asked in surprise.After he spoke, he realized that he had asked something stupid.Jensen glanced at him icily and did not respond. Then he walked past him and went upstairs.Peter was confused.'Jensen's being so hostile for no reason. I don't think I did anything to him?' he thought."Peter, come play chess with me.""Ah... Coming.""Have you got someone to send Jolina back yet?""Mhm, she's still in college.""You like her, but she doesn't like you, right?""Mhm.""Ho ho. What's the matter? If you like her, go for it. While there's the saying that nothing forcibly done will be agreeable, isn't it worse to do nothing at all?"Jensen stood at the corner of the staircase while gripping the railing tightly. He stared darkly at the amiable smile on Adrien's face. Then, a sardonic smile gradually formed
The blood was maroon in color, which made Madalyn palpitate from seeing it. She quickly asked Kelvin, " How is it?"Kelvin scrunched his brows with a severe expression, " The situation is very challenging."Madalyn had both her eyes rolled back and fell to the ground. Davian immediately held onto her.Madalyn forcefully held onto her spirits and scolded in pain, " I knew it. That wench never had good intentions. The fruits are fake, fake... My Gilbert is hurt by all of them. Waah, waah..."Kelvin had not shut his eyes for a few days and nights. Stubble was growing on his chin, and his face was haggard. Hearing Madalyn scream and cry, he felt annoyed deep down at that point.He gave Gilbert a check-up while talking to Davian, " You help Madan Kooper Sr. out. If something happens, I'll call you."Davian nodded his head and hastily pulled Madalyn outside. Once they opened the door, they saw Sharon by the doorway suspiciously, looking like a burglar. Madalyn saw Sharon, and her expre
She was startled and instinctively opened her mouth to scream, but no sound would come out. What was more horrifying was that she discovered that she could not move at all.'What is happening?' she thought.She stared at the shadow by the bed fearfully. She tried to move her fingers. However, her whole body was restrained by a mysterious force. She could not move at all.Suddenly, that shadow bent down slowly. Kisa could not see his face but could feel his breath touch her face. It was so cold."Kisa..." The shadow suddenly said. Its tone was gentle, but it seemed to be Gilbert's voice.Her heart trembled. Could the dark shadow be Gilbert? Yet Gilbert had never used such a gentle tone to call her "Kisa" before.She wanted to ask him if he was Gilbert, but however she tried to scream and shout, not a single sound would come out. It was as if she was utterly shackled. She could not do a thing and only stared at the dark figure before her in horror and confusion. The shadow seemed t
Davian furrowed his brows in disguise, "Anyhow, you are of noble breed. Couldn't your table manners be better?""I have not eaten a single meal for a few freaking days. I'm almost starving to death. There's no point in emphasizing etiquette," Kelvin finished speaking. He did not forget to stare at the noodles in Davian's hand and clicked his tongue, "Aren't you having your second bowl? It's such a big serving."Davian did not want to argue with him. He sat across him, confused, "Why did you talk to Ms. Kisa like that just now? She was actually worried for Mr. Kooper. If you told her that, wouldn't she worried to death?""That's fine. If Kisa was truly worried for Gilbert, she wouldn't have left in such a hurry. Don't just see that she has been staying here for a night. From what I see, it's just for show. You didn't see it. She was so eager to leave yesterday once dawn came. Tsk tsk, how unfortunate for Gilbert to still call her name when he is still unconscious. If it was based on
She was stunned. Who would appear in her kitchen? Lea? Jensen? But wasn't Jensen not back yet? Besides, Lea had returned the keys to the house earlier.With a heart full of doubt, she walked toward the direction of the kitchen. She was not worried that a burglar or other criminal would enter in broad daylight. She walked to the entrance of the kitchen. She then looked into the kitchen directly. From a single glance, she saw Jensen in an apron."You..." Seeing Jensen, she would always think of his silhouette on the day he left.It was particularly bleak and exceptionally determined. Thinking about it would make anyone feel sad. Jensen was making food. Hearing her voice, he could not help but turn his head and glance at her once. His handsome face had a gentle, light smile.Kisa stared at him in shock. He had returned to his usual gentle temperament. As if that day was merely an illusion to her.She slowly walked toward her, "You came back.""I called you yesterday. You didn't pick
"There is nothing to explain; just let it be," Jensen did not turn his head and spoke casually.Kisa always felt that he was spiteful. As for who he was spiteful to, she was not sure as well. She put down her spoon and stood up to walk two steps toward him. She told him, "I think this issue requires you to explain to Madam Kooper Sr. clearly. You all are family. After all, having a misunderstanding is not good."'Family?' He thought. Jensen smiled lightly and did not say a word. He only believed that these single words sounded so hilarious.Kisa secretly analyzed a bit and spoke, " It was obvious that someone took your phone at that time. Then impersonated you to send Madalyn that kind of message. As for who the person was, you should think hard. Who ultimately had beef with you and could easily reach your cell phone?""Enough!" Jensen abruptly growled at her.Kisa was stunned for a moment, then asked, " What's wrong?"Jensen turned around to look at her. His face had no expressi
