Chapter 588 Anyway, I Don't Buy It

"Do you think someone would treat their non-biological son like a biological son? Especially when she already has a son herself?"

Jensen did not respond.

Suddenly, Adrien laughed. He continued casually, Anyway, I don't buy it."

Jensen glanced at Madalyn several times before responding coolly, "She's already really old."

"So people are just absolved of their crimes once they get old?"

Adrien promptly stood up and leaned toward Jensen. He peered at his slightly familiar face and snorted icily, "Oh, you. The thing about you is you're too soft-hearted." Jensen lowered his gaze and smiled, "Not many people can become as stone-hearted as you."

The ridicule in his voice was evident.

Adrien moved away with a smile, "You're not like me at all."

"Not being like you is good."

Adrien twitched his lips. When he lifted his gaze, he promptly saw the woman walking out of the house.

He patted Jensen's shoulder and chuckled, "If you want to win over the woman you love, you need to be ruthless."

After he spoke, he quickly smiled at Kisa, who was walking toward them. Then, he walked to Madalyn's side and carried her sleeping form.

Kisa trudged toward them with her crutches. When she saw Adrien carrying Madalyn and entering the villa from the side door, she could not help but ask, "Mrs. Kooper Sr..." Jensen helped her to sit down before smiling coolly, "

She's fine. She fell asleep. Mr. Tanner was worried that she'd catch a cold, so he carried her inside."

Kisa nodded her head but thought that things were strange.

'Why was Mr. Tanner carrying Mrs. Kooper Sr. into the house but not Jensen? After all, Jensen is her grandchild, but Mr. Tanner is just an outsider to her,' she wondered. While she was in deep thought, Jensen suddenly smiled at her, "Why did you come outside? Was the game not fun?"

Kisa shook her head, "It's pretty fun, but they've gone crazy. I came out to get some air."

"But Gilbert..."

"Why are you bringing him up?"

Kisa leaned to the side of the table and poured herself a cup of tea. The calm smile on her face looked comforting. Jensen stared at her for a while before shifting his gaze. However, he changed the topic.

"Did you have a good time today?"

Kisa nodded, "This is really a great tourist attraction. This place is practically heaven when it's the freezing winter." Seeing how Kisa had a huge grin on her face, Jensen felt warm.

"I'll take you here to escape the heat over the same."

"Sure. We should bring the three kids along."

Andrew, Ada, and Blake also had the time of their lives today. They were playing with toys upstairs.

Adrien was very thoughtful; he had specially prepared a playroom for the children.

Jensen promptly pursed his lips. He drooped his head and did not respond, as if he had something on his mind.

Kisa looked at him for a while before saying hesitantly, "About the game just now... I'm sorry."

She did not know what else to say, so she ended up apologizing.

'If I had answered his question just now, Peter would not have forced me to kiss Jensen. Then Jensen wouldn't have gotten angry,' thought Kisa. "Why are you apologizing? It's just a game, so don't take it seriously," Jensen said with a smile.

However, his smile did not reach his eyes.

Kisa sighed softly before asking him, "You and Peter seem pretty close. Mia, too, seems pretty close with him."

"We're alright. We're not that close; we've only exchanged pleasantries a couple of times in Raworth."

Kisa bowed her head and took a small sip of tea.

Moments later, Jensen promptly turned to her leg, "Is the injury on your leg getting better?"

"It's much better now. It doesn't hurt as much as before."

"Let me see," Jensen said as he lifted her leg naturally.

Just as he was about to roll up her pant leg to inspect the injury on her ankle, someone snorted icily.
