"You came down just in time. I cooked a bowl of noodles for you. You can eat it in the bedroom or in the dining room if you want," said Kisa."I think I'll have it in the bedroom," Kelvin replied with a smile."Alright, here you go," Kisa handed him the bowl of noodles and left.Kelvin stopped her, "Actually, I have a question I've always wanted to ask you."Kisa turned around to look at him and asked, "What is it?""Don't you hate Gilbert? His wound got infected last night which caused the fever, but you didn't have to worry. He could have fended for himself. Why did you—""How can I prove my innocence to him if he dies? How can I have him kneel before me, asking for repentance? How can I have him beg me to accept treatment from you?" Kisa said expressionlessly, as if she no longer had a heart.Kelvin looked at her helplessly, "Are you sure that the time you have left is enough for you to achieve those things?""I'll try my best.""You don't have to be so stubborn; you know.
"Don't we have servants in this house? Why did you cook for him?""I wanted to," sneered Kisa.Gilbert narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm telling you, stop trying to flirt with Kelvin. He has a partner. He'd never fall for you."Kisa laughed angrily as she held the newspaper tightly with both hands, wishing to tear it into pieces. 'Why would he think that I'm flirting with Kelvin? It was just a bowl of noodles,' she thought.After reminding herself that her task right now was to look after Gilbert and his wound, she decided to stay quiet. However, Gilbert mistook her silence as an agreement, and he could not control himself, "Don't even think about flirting with Kelvin. Stop trying to charm him so he can deliver a message to your boy toy. I'm telling you, he has someone he'd give everything for. So stop it."Kisa tried to hold back her anger, but she threw in a few eye rolls here and there. "A man's imagination can really hold a universe,' she thought.Kisa put down the newspaper a
"Ha!" Gilbert sneered. "Why don't you think Howard is behind it?""It doesn't seem likely." Even though Kisa had been suspicious of him before, Davian's investigation proved that Howard was not lying. Moreover, he would not have the kind of money needed to bribe the newspaper.Gilbert's handsome face turned gloomy again after hearing Kisa defend Howard. He pushed away her hand helping him with the gauze, and said, "Go away. I knew you were thinking about that boy toy of yours. He played you, and you're still helping him. You're so dumb.""Why you—"Kisa took a few deep breaths in anger. After a long time, she tossed the gauze at him and said coldly, "You can think whatever you want. I've told you my opinion, how you want to deal with it is your choice. I hope that you get to the bottom of this quickly so that I can go accompany Grandma.""You don't have to worry. Whether or not I get to the bottom of this, a press conference will still be held after three days to end this matter."
Gilbert quickly held his finger to his mouth so the maid would not wake Kisa, but she still awoke. She straightened herself, unaware that her tiny hands were still wrapped in Gilbert's palms."What's wrong?" she asked.Maybe it was because she had just woken up, and her head was still confused between love and hatred. Gilbert, however, was wide awake. He pulled away his hands and looked away. "Nothing," he replied.Kisa looked at her hands, then at his cold shoulder, and stood up, "Don't get it wrong. You're the one who wanted me last night. You thought I was Sara again."Gilbert was annoyed after hearing her words. He snorted and did not say a word.Kisa was hungry and could smell the breakfast the maid brought in. She did not want to explain herself further, so she said, "I'll change your gauze after I finish breakfast."She brought the breakfast to the bedside table and began eating.Gilbert looked at the same breakfast he had every day and thought of the noodles Kisa had coo
Kisa did not speak. 'There's no other reason than Gilbert just toying with me.'Gilbert's indifference was also plastered on his face. Both of them were silent.On the other hand, Kelvin was laughing inside. He turned to Kisa and said, "You always cook bland noodles for Gilbert, yet you put in two eggs for me yesterday. Why didn't you put them in today? That's what he's mad about.""That's only because I didn't want him to have difficulty digesting eggs because of his injuries," Kisa blurted out angrily."Hey, that means you're looking out for him," Kelvin said."Of course I am. I look forward to his speedy recovery.""Oh...So that's the case..." Kelvin turned to Gilbert and smiled.Gilbert was uncomfortable with Kelvin's laughter that he could not help but shout at him, "What kind of nonsense are you spewing? Get out!""Hmph, nonsense? I'm not the one who wanted Kisa's noodles because I saw someone else ate them yesterday."Gilbert was so annoyed that he threw a pillow at him
Gilbert frowned in silence for a while and said, "I'll admit that Raine Watson is Kisa Becker and restore her identity as the wife of GK Pictures's CEO.""How will that work?" Sharon subconsciously asked. "The media is already taking advantage of this matter to hurt GK Pictures's reputation and yours. If you admit that she is your wife, wouldn't that create more opportunities for them to say that she had an affair with Howard Mullen? Both you and GK Pictures would be a laughingstock."Davian also disagreed with this approach, but he decided to keep quiet."I just want to prove her identity. No one would write anything anymore without solid evidence.""Even if the media stops writing about it, rumors would still be circulating," Sharon said anxiously."This is all my sister's fault. She's the one who created such a big black hole by hyping up Howard Mullen. All the blame should be put on her. Let's say that she's the one who pretended to be the wife of GK Pictures's CEO just to cre
After all, Davian was his assistant, so there's nothing that cannot be answered on Kisa's phone."Hello, Mrs. Kooper. Mr. Kooper will attend the press conference the day after tomorrow. You must take good care of him tonight and tomorrow. You know how much he has sacrificed to protect you."Gilbert didn't say a word but his brows slightly furrowed. 'Why is Davian reminding her to take care of me, like he's her mother-in-law?'"Don't try to run away from your responsibility. We've signed a contract, remember? If you don't look after Mr. Kooper, I won't help you anymore," said Davian angrily after not receiving a response."Contract? What contract?"Davian was shocked to hear Gilbert on the other end of the line."M-Mr. Kooper?""What is this contract you talked about?""Uhh—""Tell me!"...When Kisa came out of the bathroom, she sensed something wrong in the air, but she did not take it too seriously when she thought about how Gilbert was always in a bad mood.She dried her
Kisa turned to look at Gilbert. He stared at her thin face with a sneer and said each word clearly, "Howard Mullen will be ruined by me.""What do you mean?" Kisa frowned and asked."He's involved in the news event anyway. You know what will happen by playing up with the name of GK CEO's wife, right?""It's not his fault! We haven't even figured it out."Gilbert suddenly turned aggressive when he saw her worried. "No matter what, he has to take the blame for it!""Gilbert...""Get out!"Kisa turned away after she looked at him resentfully. A glass was thrown out and shattered beside her legs after she stepped out. She was stunned for a while. Then she returned quickly to her room.'Gilbert is an emotional maniac. I have taken care of him anyway. Why does he have to get irritated? Is my contract with Davian Park still in effect?'Kisa went to Gilbert's room with a plate of pasta the next morning. There was not only egg in the pasta but also bacon. Yet she was kicked out by Gilb
