Adrien suddenly sighed, sounding self-recriminating."It is not your fault. It is my fault; I was the one who caused this to happen to Jensen," Kisa said, her eyes narrowing grimly. "So, I will avenge him." Not only Jensen's revenge but also hers. She would seek revenge against Gilbert. 'Heh, you played with my feelings, didn't you? Gilbert, do you think I am the best person in the world to fool and manipulate? This time, I will give as good as I take.'The rain poured down. Gilbert was standing in the courtyard, letting the rain beat down on him.Madalyn stood at the doorway and called out anxiously, but Gilbert did not seem to hear her. She tugged urgently at Kelvin. "Come on, Kelvin, pull him in. He is still weak. He can't stand in the rain like this. Come on!""Just let him be. Maybe he will feel better this way." Kelvin looked at Gilbert in the rain and spoke with distress. 'Emotional wounds are much more difficult to heal than physical ones. It is not a bad idea for Gilbert t
He silently clenched his hands at his sides, and his heart was heavy and aching. With Jensen in this condition, Gilbert did not even dare to face Kisa. When he saw her guarding Jensen by the bedside, holding Jensen's hand tightly, he was so jealous that he almost went mad. But he knew he had no right to be jealous because he had caused this irreparable situation.He stared at Kisa's face from afar, his eyes reddening, as he found that she had lost weight again, looking skinnier and skinnier. He wanted to rush in and hug her, but he could not because she had said she did not want to see him even for a second, that his presence would only make her loathe and sick. So, he could only hide and watch her from the darkness.He felt guilty and did not know how to make up for it. He wanted to donate all his blood to Jensen, but even then, Jensen had still not woken up but kept sleeping. No one knew when he could wake up. Gilbert did not know where this left him. As long as Jensen did not wake
"As you wish. I didn't want to get involved in your business. Now that Jensen is in a coma, I don't want to get involved even more." With that, Mia stopped talking and stared at Jensen.Before this, she and Jensen were forced to help Adrien do so many things, and she felt guilty about Gilbert and Kisa. But now, Jensen had met with such an accident because of Gilbert's pursuit. She found it hard not to hate and blame them. But she also knew she had no right to blame them. If there was anything she could blame, it was karma.After Mia came to the hospital, she did not leave again. She was by Jensen's side almost all the time.Kisa went back to her place that evening, not wanting to disturb them anymore. Once arrived, she stood in front of Jensen's house for a long time, having a lump in her throat. In the past, whenever she came back, Jensen would lean at the doorway, smoking a cigarette, smiling, and asking her if she was tired of filming. And now, she was standing between her and hi
"Uncle Adrien, I thought I heard you guys plotting against Gilbert earlier. Do you have any grudge against Gilbert and Kisa? I think—""These things are too complicated and not for you to ask about or get involved in." Adrien suddenly interrupted him. Instead of being stern, his voice had a hint of doting. "Just remember, later on, I will have a big gift for you."Peter got a little perplexed. "Uncle Adrien, why are you being so nice to me?""Because..." Adrien looked at his familiar face and chuckled, "I have been friends with your father for many years, and so I consider his child my own. Besides, I don't have any children of my own."Peter smiled, feeling a little embarrassed. He somehow found some of Adrien's words and demeanor strange, but he could not put his finger on them."Mr. Tanner, Mrs. Case is here to see you." Just then, a bodyguard reported in.Adrien smiled. "Invite her in.""Aye, Mr. Tanner."Peter stood up at once. "Since you have a guest, I will excuse myself
She pulled the quilt tighter around her body, staying still as she heard footsteps in the living room. They sounded heavy and intermittent. Even without looking, she could tell that it was Gilbert's footsteps.She was so familiar with that man that she could even recognize his footsteps right away, but she never understood what was in his mind. Otherwise, she would not have been deceived by him so much. She had known him for many years and was familiar with him, but she had never had access to his heart.Gilbert quietly looked at the plain furnishings of the house. He missed her a lot these days, like going crazy. But he still did not dare to go to her and see her. In the end, he could only come to her house to recollect the bits and pieces between them. He had never expected that the sweet time they had spent together before would only become a dream that was so out of his reach. Now that his dream was shattered. Even the memory of it still hurts. He sat down wearily on the couch, l
Placing the woman gently on the bed, he backed away slightly and stared into her glistening eyes, asking in a hoarse voice, "Do you know what you are doing right now?"Kisa said nothing. She just hooked his neck and kissed him again. Her tender yet passionate kiss made him lose his mind completely. He could not think about anything, just wanted to hold her and indulge himself once more. The woman beneath him was so passionate and perverse that every movement perfectly matched him. Because of her passionate cooperation, Gilbert almost went crazy and made love to her until late at night.He never thought that he could make love to her in such a hearty way in this life. Even at this moment, when she was sleeping peacefully beside him, all of this felt like a dream to him; it was unreal in every way. After that, he leaned against the headboard, languidly smoking a cigarette. His upper body was half exposed, his chest full of her passionate and wild scratches. He puffed out a ring of smok
However, as she smiled, tears fell involuntarily. 'This time, I won't fall into his trap, no matter what. Since he likes to play games with others' feelings, I will play along this time.'Gilbert opened the refrigerator and took a look. Although there were many ingredients in the refrigerator, looking at the date, they were all bought on Kisa's birthday. His eyes darkened with a touch of sadness, thinking about her birthday. He pursed his lips, threw all those expired ingredients into the trash, and then cleaned the refrigerator before looking for other ingredients.He rummaged through the kitchen cabinets and finally found a pack of pasta and, fortunately, a few eggs in the refrigerator. Gilbert took the eggs out and fried them first. When the pasta was done, he laid the eggs on top. This way, it looked tantalizing.He had made two plates of pasta and was wondering if he should take it to the living room and wake Kisa up or take it into the bedroom when he saw Kisa appear in the ki
"If you don't like it, leave it. I will get you something else to eat," Gilbert said, going to take the plate away.Kisa suddenly held on to the plate of pasta, choking on a sob as she slurred, "It is delicious. The pasta you cooked is delicious. It is just that I didn't expect you to cook it for me. After all, you said that you never liked me."It hurt him to hear her last sentence. 'As expected, no matter how much of a goodwill gesture I have made, she still minds what I said last time. She always holds grudges and holds on to those hurtful things I said," Gilbert thought to himself. He then stroked her long, silky hair and said helplessly, " Those callous things I said to you the other day were really all lies. They were just for grandma to hear. I thought you would understand me."Kisa sneered in her mind. 'Have I ever understood him? Had the warden not first told me the truth about the fire that day, he might have successfully deceived me again.' She secretly kept down the bitt
