Kisa saw a worn photo album sitting on the coffee table and immediately recognized that it was her mother's photo album, the one she had seen at the Case residence but had not been able to take it. She hurriedly picked up the album and could not wait to open it.The first page was a snapshot of her mother sitting in front of the window, her face gentle, just as Kisa remembered. She stroked her mother's face, and tears fell involuntarily. They dropped right on her mother's bracelet in the photo. She hurriedly used her hand to wipe it, afraid of spoiling the photo.Gilbert watched her quietly, not forgetting to bring the apple dumpling to his mouth.Kisa took a deep breath and gathered her emotions. She closed the album and looked at Gilbert. "Did you get this from the Case family?"Gilbert nodded. "That day when I saw how precious you treated your mother's notebook, I thought of what you told me last time about going to the Case residence to get your mother's belongings. So I went t
Kisa took the photo from the album and carefully looked at it. There was a line of words behind the photo. It was the name of her mother and the man. There was also the date of when the photo was taken. 'Damon Kooper? Isn't that Gilbert's father's name? Is the man in this photo Gilbert's father?'At that moment, Gilbert walked toward her with a bowl in his hands. "If you miss your mom, we can go visit her grave sometime. I mean, she is my mother-in-law after all."Kisa did not hear what he had said. Instead, she just looked back and forth between Gilbert and the man in the photo. "What's wrong?" he asked. Kisa quickly closed the photo album when Gilbert came over. Seeing this, Gilbert frowned in displeasure. "You're too defensive. You hide everything from me and treat me like an outsider," he said."Aren't you an outsider?" Kisa asked indifferently, her hands tightening around the closed photo album. 'Jensen said that Gilbert would always react weirdly whenever people mentioned his
'Isn't that David? Adrien showed me a photo of Mom and David before. Isn't that him?'Kisa quickly took the photo out of the album and turned to the back. It was no surprise that David's name was on there. Emilia's stiff and expressionless face in the photo with David at the beginning had turned into a gentle smile. It was clear that her mom had fallen in love with David in the end.From the photo, Kisa also noticed that the bracelet her mother wore was now dangling on David's wrists.'Mom must have really liked him to have given him one of her prized possessions,' she thought. 'But where is David now? Is there still a misunderstanding between them?'Kisa had always felt uneasy about all the regrets in their relationship. She leaned against the chair, feeling troubled.'Regardless of whether David is alive or not, I must find him. I must resolve the misunderstanding between him and Mom.' Kisa did not want her mother to still be misunderstood by her beloved after she died.Then, s
"What's wrong?" Gilbert rushed into the room with a limp, holding Kisa in his arms, and asked. Kisa stared at the diary and mumbled, "No... No... There's no way... NO!!!"Gilbert glanced at the journal suspiciously, and just as he picked it up to take a look,Kisa grabbed the diary and hugged it against her chest. "Don't look."The woman's defensiveness made Gilbert mad. However, he could not express his anger when he saw the shock and despair on Kisa's face. He suppressed the resentment in his heart and patted her on the back."It's okay. Don't be afraid. I'm here," he said in a low voice.Kisa held onto the diary tightly, staring out the window with dull eyes. 'I must find out what happened between Mom and David.'During the night, Gilbert was worried about Kisa, so he stayed in her room and insisted on sleeping with her. Kisa did not have the energy to fight him, so she just let him do whatever he wanted. When she woke up early the following day, he was no longer in the room.
The two tall men with distinctive looks instantly attracted everyone's attention when they walked onto the set together. Ariella tugged at Kisa's arm, more excited than anyone else, and said, "Kisa, they must have come all the way here to pick you up. Ah, I'm so jealous!"Kisa folded her down jacket, smiled slightly, and said nothing.Lea deliberately put her pointer finger to her mouth and said, "Shh, Ariella, we have to keep it down. Don't you know that a certain someone's eyes are red with jealousy? Be careful, or she'll take her revenge on you."As Lea spoke those words, she deliberately glanced over at Sharon, whose face was contorted with envy.Ariella quickly covered her mouth and snickered. "Yeah, you're right. We have to keep it down. Otherwise, a certain someone would get mad, and it wouldn't be pretty."The two of them kept talking among themselves. Despite saying they wanted to keep it down, they spoke louder than anyone else in the room. Every word they spoke stabbed
Gilbert instantly clenched his fists, stared at Kisa, and said nothing. Kisa did not want to argue with him. She was already upset enough about the matter between her mother and David Kooper. She just wanted to ask Jensen about the situation. She did not look at Gilbert but turned to Jensen and said, "Let's go."Jensen pursed his lips and said hesitantly, "What about Gilbert?""What about him?" Kisa said as she pulled his arm and walked out of the studio.Gilbert stared at their backs coldly, and it was almost as if a terrifying murderous aura emanated from his body. Lea and Ariella stared at each other but did not dare to say a word. The people around him were also too afraid of him to talk about what happened.However, Sharon was not scared. She hurriedly approached Gilbert and tried to add fuel to the fire by saying, "Gilbert, Kisa is an ungrateful sl*t. The reason why she won't let you tag along must be that she is going to do something shady with Jensen. She... Ah!"Before sh
Due to suspecting him to be her biological half-brother from her mother's side, Kisa now felt perplexed. She nearly was not brave enough to look into his eyes. She fiddled with the food on the table and asked quietly, " Let's eat first. We'll talk after we've eaten our fill."Even though she is prepared to question the affairs between her mother and father, when facing him, she is at a loss for words. She picked at the food on her plate but did not take a bite for quite a while.Jensen quietly stared at her. After a long while, he put down his cutlery and chuckled lightly, "You have something in your mind?"Kisa pursed her lips and made no sound. Jensen laughed, picked up a glass of wine, and took a small sip. He spoke casually, "You have questions in your mind. What do you want to ask me?"Kisa then lifted her head to look at him. She, indeed, could not hide anything from his eyes. She licked her dry, cracked lips to ask him, " Do you... know of your father's whereabouts?"Jensen
She yelped out a cry. Her shoulder was pressed firmly onto the cold wall. Under the dim lights, she saw Gilbert's dark gaze and killer expression.She knew all this man's caring, and gentleness was just in glimpses. In his bones, he was a violent man. When he was in a rage, he was more ruthless than anyone.Kisa looked at him casually, "Why? You need something from me?""I've waited here for a long time, "Gilbert spoke. His smoky voice was filled with suppressed rage.Kisa jeered, " Really? But I didn't tell you to wait. You were being stupid yourself. Who can you blame?""Kisa!" He gritted his teeth while the pressure applied on her shoulder increased. Kisa muffled a sound from the pain while secretly cursing the man for being sick.She lifted her leg to kick him and spoke frustratingly, "If you have something to say, then spit it out. If not, then let go of me. It's freezing here."Gilbert held onto her lowering his head. For a while, he did not speak anymore. Kisa struggled f
