She muttered in a low voice, yet Gilbert still heard everything clearly.The man smiled, his eyebrow raised as he grabbed another sheet.He took another spoonful of filling and put them onto the wrapper. A few deft finger movements later, a filled, very nice-looking tortelloni appeared before everyone.Kisa was totally stunned. "You learned how to make that before?""Do you even need to learn this? Just stuff that you can pick up with a glance. The man said so proudly and gleefully.Kisa snorted, "Well, well, aren't you capable.""Daddy, teach me how to make a bunny.""I want to make a tortoise."Blake hesitated for a few seconds before chiming in, "Uncle Gilbert, teach me how to make a cat, please."The three children immediately surrounded Gilbert.Gilbert frowned and was speechless. "A bunny? Tortoise? A... cat?"Seeing the man's confused look, Kisa could not help but add salt to the wound, "Didn't you just claim to be omnipotent? Aren't those things you'll know with just
The two jailers were in a remote mountain village and refused ever to step foot in Calthon ever again.So, Gilbert decided to bring Kisa there in person.Four days into Christmas, he told Kisa the situation, and she agreed to go with him on the condition they needed to be back before the middle of January.It's because the filming for Adrien's show will start after the fifteenth.Aside from the filming, she was also a little worried about Blake.Kisa had prepared some clothes and daily necessities for Blake, but she looked at Gilbert and asked worriedly, "Is it alright to send him to the Kooper residence? I'm afraid your Grandma will...""Grandma will not mistreat him. He's good friends with Andrew and Ada. Grandma will like him.""But Grandma hates me, and if she knows Blake was entrusted to her care by me, she'll...""She won't. Grandma has always loved kids and will not vent her grievances onto a child."Since Gilbert was very confident about this, Kisa did not say anything
Kisa smiled and pecked him back on the cheek as she promised, "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible."At this moment, Gilbert's eyes were even wider.'Since when did Kisa ever take the initiative to kiss me? Never.''So, I'm no better than that brat in her heart, huh?'The mountain region was remote, and there was no direct flight.After some consideration, Gilbert decided to drive there himself. That way, the time will not be too tight and will save them the hassle of swapping rides.He did not arrange for a driver and instead chose to take the wheels himself.As for the reason for this, he naturally wanted to use this opportunity to be alone with Kisa.Calthon was snowing for three consecutive days, and the entire city was covered in snow.The weather was cold, but the festive New Year mood still went strong.The streets were still adorned with New Year decorations.When they left the city, Kisa saw the lively atmosphere there, feeling a little lost and uneasy ins
"Mr. Tanner, please, you have got to save me!"Adrien leaned against the back of the chair. His long slender legs were crossed and folded together.Even when he was already in his fifties, the man still exuded a charm across his entire body.Amidst his mature charm was a streak of stern majesty. He looked down at the prostrating woman on the ground and, through her, seemingly saw her greedy mother and her despicable father once again.A look of deep disgust flashed across his eyes.He took a puff and looked at Anthony beside him.Anthony held his arm as he said with an impassive face, "This woman is afraid that Gilbert will find out the truth of the fire and take revenge against her. So she's begging you to help her.""Mr. Tanner, I only just found out that you bear a grudge against Gilbert and Kisa," Sharon crawled before him and said anxiously, "I beg you, help me. Do not let Gilbert find out the truth of the matter. If you help me, I'll do anything for you."Anthony sneered
Kisa looked at the address Davian had given her, then looked at the remaining mileage and felt a bit of a headache. "Is this address correct? Are those two jailers really in this little hilly village?" The place was called Hillsby, which she had never heard of, and could not even find on the Internet. Judging by the remaining distance, as well as the car's speed, it was hard to tell when they would get to Hillsby. And even if they got there, there was no guarantee that the two jailers would be there, and they might have fled.Gilbert found a more upscale-looking hotel and parked up, then said, "The men Davian sent are still in the village. They will inform me if there is anything."As he opened the car door, a gust of old air rushed in. Gilbert quickly closed the car door back, rummaging around to find something to keep warm. But he found nothing. So he took off his coat and draped it on Kisa.Kisa frowned and subconsciously leaned back. "It is okay. I'm not cold. Keep it for yourse
"How are you going to sleep in the car? Aren't you tired after such a long journey?" Gilbert said snappishly as he pulled her back.'You were the driver and didn't complain. Who am I to say I'm tired?' Kisa groused in her mind but said nothing.Gilbert glanced at Kisa and asked the receptionist, "Do you have a suite?""Yes, we have.""I will get the presidential suite, the biggest one.""Okay. So, do you still want the single room that you have registered for earlier?""No. Just the suite will do.""Okay."After checking in, Gilbert took his room card and asked the receptionist, "Do you have room service?""I'm sorry. We don't have catering in the hotel, but you can order takeout." The receptionist handed him a takeout order form.Gilbert thanked her and led Kisa toward the elevator. The receptionist could not help but glance at Gilbert for a few more times as he went. She found him so good-looking, almost like a movie star.The hotel had only one elevator. As Gilbert and Ki
"Are you going to spend the night outside the door?" Kisa asked, reaching for her backpack.Gilbert avoided her hand and came in with the backpack anyway.Kisa took a look at the doorway. Feeling nothing unusual, she closed the door. She always felt insured while being outside. After closing the door, she bolted it. When she turned around, she saw Gilbert fanning his nose with his hand, looking disgusted.Kisa grimaced with disdain. "You should really experience life in a lower-middle class neighborhood, preferably the slum."Gilbert smiled. "I can also endure hardship. I just can't stand this smell."'Heh! All said and done. He is just being fastidious.' The room's windows were open, and the heating system warmed up the room. Kisa did not want to talk to him anymore. She just wanted to take a shower and lie under the covers. Besides, she had a pang of discomfort in her stomach, perhaps from eating something dirty. She carried her backpack and headed for the bathroom.Gilbert loo
"What are you doing?" Kisa was puzzled.Gilbert said nothing, just preyed open her hand and then stared at the scar in her palm. The vine badly scuffed her palm when she pulled Gilbert out of the cave. The scar looked scary, but it was just a superficial injury. She recuperated at home, and it had healed quickly. Now, only some scars were left. Had Gilbert not looked at the scars now, she would have almost forgotten about it.She pulled her hand back and said, "It's nothing. It has already fully healed."Gilbert looked Kisa in the eyes and was just about to say something when there was a knock on the door."The takeout must have arrived, right?" Kisa asked subconsciously."Sit tight. I will check it out," Gilbert said.He was very cautious. He peeped through the peephole before opening the door, and even then, he only opened it ajar. Before long, he returned with a bag of snacks and some packed food.Kisa glanced at the door to ensure it was bolted before asking, " You are also
