Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Do Yourself a Favor Kisa was shocked, but she still brazened it out. “But you asked me to take care of Andrew. Are you trying to chase me away again?”

Gilbert held her down by her bony shoulders, gasping as his eyes landed on the corner of her lifted shirt, where he got a glimpse of her skin underneath.

‘This damn ugly woman is still so seductive.’

He gritted his teeth and stared at her for a long while. He then got up and said coldly, “I’m telling you, since you’re here to take care of Andrew, then take care of him sincerely. Otherwise, you will regret it.” “Heh, why did you call me here if you were so worried?” “You think I want to?” Gilbert pushed her away in disgust. “You’d better do yourself a favor by treating my children with sincere care.”

With that, he left the room without sparing her another glance. ‘Do myself a favor?’ Kisa let out a sarcastic smile. ‘How vicious and unethical does he think I am that I need to do myself a favor?’ Not long after Gilbert left, George brought her clothes. Her old clothes no longer fitted her. They looked ridiculously big on her. With her bony body, it was almost impossible to get clothes that fit.

But strangely enough, the clothes George sent her fitted her perfectly as if they were tailor made.

The children’s room–

When Kisa opened the door, a pillow, accompanied by a kiddish roar, was hurled at her. “Get out of here.”

Kisa caught the pillow and frowned at the child on the bed, wondering when the boy had become so grumpy. Andrew was seen lying with his back to the door, and Ada was sitting on the edge of the bed with him. When Ada saw it was Kisa who came in, she shook Andrew. “It’s Ma’am. Ma’am is here.”

Andrew sat up on the bed and burst into tears involuntarily.

Kisa also had a lump in her throat upon seeing this. She knew she should not have any feelings for these two children. But in this case, she could not help but feel sorry for them. Andrew lost a lot of weight and looked pale.

Andrew said with both agerievement and rage. “They all say you made me sick, but that’s not it; that’s how my health has been. Why did they liave to blame you?” See? Even a child can reason better than those adults.’ Kisa walked over and chuckled. “So, you deliberately refuse to catto pique them?”

Andrew pouted. “I don’t care. I just want you anyway.”

Just then, George brought up a light meal. Kisa took it and gave Andrew a slightly stiff smile. “This time, I will feed you, and you have got to eat it.” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Every time she wanted to be nice to this child, she would feel guilty and conflicted because of her dead baby. This ambivalence tore at her and made her feel awkward when facing Andrew and Ada. In contrast, the children did not have such complicated feelings. They just felt happy that the people they liked were by their side. Outside the door, George looked at Gilbert. “Strange, Andrew and Ada are really fond of Mrs. Kooper. I don’t know if this is fate.” Gilbert stared soberly at what had happened in the room. ‘This is not fate, but connection. Had she not threatened me with the child five years ago, I wouldn’t have kept the two children from her. She doesn’t deserve to be the mother of the children, and I will never let her know that these two children are hers.’

Staying at the Kooper residence again, Kisa felt like a lifetime ago when she saw the familiar surroundings. Perhaps because of her troubled mind, she lay in bed tossing and turning all night long Ariella’s call came at dawn. As usual, she scolded and urged Kisa to go to the set. Kisa liad been absent from work for half a month, so she knew she had to go to the set today. It was just that her health was in bad shape, and the lack of sleep caused her to feel dizzy when she got up. She dragged herself to the bathroom and washed up, then got ready to go out. And just as she pulled open the door,

her vision went dark, and she fell forward involuntarily. Instead of the expected pain from hitting the ground, she fell into a cold but muscular embrace
