Chapter 563 The Best Stepmother in the World

Kisa was flabbergasted and quickly shook her head. "No. Jensen did not mean that. I sprained my ankle because of my carelessness. It has nothing to do with you. Jensen didn't mean to offend you. He has driven for hours and must be exhausted."

Adrien smiled. "Don't worry. I was just joking with him."

Kisa pursed her lips. She had felt something was not quite right with Jensen today. 'By all rights, Adrien is Jensen's business partner, and his attitude really shouldn't be like this. Besides, Jensen always knows what should and should not be done and said. There must be a reason for him to act this way.'

Mia looked at Adrien and then at Jensen anxiously. After a while, she changed the subject and asked, "I'm starving. When will dinner be ready?"

Adrien checked his watch. "Mr. Kooper and others should be here soon. The dinner will start as soon as they arrive."

"That is hard," Mia said with a half-smile. Feeling bored, she smoked again.

Kisa, worried that Jensen might repeat something inappropriate, talked to Adrien about work. Adrien was mindful of Kisa's injured foot and the fact that it was almost New Year's Eve, so he agreed to wait until after the New Year to start shooting.

The two were having a pleasant conversation when voices accompanied by footsteps were heard outside the door. Kisa looked over and saw Gilbert walking in, her eyes coincidentally colliding with Gilbert's. He looked away at once, his expression indifferent,

as if he had only seen a stranger. Gilbert was followed by Madalyn, who came in with the help of two women: Sharon and Emma, Gilbert's blind date.

"Ma'am!" Just as Kisa glanced at Emma's face, two children came excitedly running toward her. "It has been a long while. I missed you so much," Ada said.

"I missed you too, Ma'am. You seem to have lost weight," Andrew said.

Kisa was embarrassed, wondering how she had lost weight when it had only been a few days. She thought these two children must have exaggerated it. Madalyn's face darkened with anger when she saw how close the children were to Kisa.

Emma also looked at her. The last time they met, Emma was polite and gracious. But now she had the same jealous and vicious look as Sharon did. 'Probably someone has influenced her,' Kisa thought, glancing at Sharon, who smiled provocatively.

Adrien saw how close Kisa was to the children and said, "If you were the stepmother of Mr. Kooper's two children, you would be the best stepmother in the world."

Although it was a joke, the faces of Madalyn and a few others could not have been more darkened. But Adrien was a business partner, so Madalyn would say nothing no matter how angry she was. But Sharon could not care less and sounded sarcastic. "That also depends on whether she qualifies as a stepmother."

Madalyn immediately shot her a glance. "Shut up if you don't know what to say."

Sharon bit her lips and shut up at once. Adrien smiled, always with a modest and polite look. He quickly invited everyone to the table. As they all took their seat, Kisa was seated right next to Gilbert, as if by coincidence.
