    Chapter 1494


    Adult affairs could be a real head-scratcher, and little ones just could not wrap their minds around it.


    Kisa did not utter a word. She just wanted to dash up and check on Madalyn. But those rug rats would


    not budge.


    In their eyes, she was public enemy number one. She gritted her teeth against the bitterness in her


    heart, gazing at the children as her vision started to blur.


    Just then, Gilbert made his way downstairs, with Kelvin tailing him. His face was still pale, but his


    furrowed brow spoke volumes about his frustration and exhaustion.


    Kisa took a deep breath and hustled over. “How’s your grandma doing?”


    Gilbert said not a word. Kelvin answered in a t tone, “Not great, especially considering her age.”


    “I’ll go check on her,” Kisa said, ready to charge upstairs, but Gilbert grabbed her arm.


    He red at her with cold eyes. “Don’t go up there and stir things up again.”


    Kisa’s heart skipped a beat, but she kept her trap shut.


    Gilbert let her go and added with little emotion, “You won’t be staying here tonight.”


    “Fine.” Kisa choked up, turned around, and hightailed it out.


    ke tried to follow her out. “Ma’am, I’lle with you.”


    Kisa shook her head, caressed his cheek, and mustered a weak smile.” Stay here with Andrew and


    Ada. I will be back in a few days.”


    “Ma’am…”


    “Be a good boy. Listen to me.” She looked at Andrew and Ada before making her exit. The two children


    could not help but tear up as they watched her go, but their anger kept them rooted in ce.


    Ada grabbed Gilbert’s hand and wailed. “Daddy, why did Ma’am want to hurt you?”


    Watching that silhouette vanish into the night, Gilbert finally tore his gaze away. He looked at Ada, his


    expression grave, and said, “Ma’am didn’t do anything to hurt me, sweetheart.”


    “But that meandy said-”


    “She was lying to you,” Gilbert said.


    Andrew quickly wiped away his tears and questioned Gilbert, “Then why did you kick Ma’am out?”

    “Because your great-grandma didn’t want to see her.”


    Andrew clenched his lips and fell silent. After a moment, he spoke with sadness, “We messed up by


    ming Ma’am. I want to say sorry.”


    “Next time. I’ll take you to apologize to Ma’am.” Gilbert walked outside and gazed at the starry sky.


    Kelvin pped Gilbert’s shoulder and clucked his tongue. “She’s the reason you’re in this situation, yet


    you’re still speaking kindly of her in front of the kids.”


    “She imed she was just pretending to work with Adrien and Risen Enterprise. Once she


    aplishes her mission, she will return everything to me.”


    “Heh, you believe that? She still thinks you are the fire-starter from years ago. She is trying to get even


    and leave you with zilch.”


    “Zilch?” Gilbert scoffed. “I only had GK to begin with. What is there to be afraid of?”


    Kelvin nced at him and shook his head. “A guy who is trapped in love is totally hopeless.”


    As a drink flew straight at her face, Sharon stumbled to her feet, looking like a hot mess.


    She screamed at the woman in front of her, “You’ve got to be out of your damn mind! You got a death


    wish, huh?”


    Carolyn quickly grabbed Sharon, wiped the booze from her face, and cussed out Kisa.


    Adrien watched the drama unfold for a moment before casually asking,” What’s going on here?”


    Kisa hurried over to Adrien, looking wronged and sad. “I’ve been buttering up Gilbert this whole time,


    trying to gain his trust, and now this idiot has messed everything up.”


    “You…” Sharon fumed, but Carolyn held her back.


    Adrien chuckled and turned to Kisa. “What’s going on?”
