Chapter 732 Daddy Has a Surprise for Ma'am

"Ma'am."

Kisa was busy in the kitchen when a child suddenly hugged her from behind, startling her. When she held the little hands and spun the child around, she saw the cute little face of Ada, whose bright eyes almos melted her heart.

"What's up?" She stroked Ada's little hair bun and asked gently, "Are you hungry? Wait a little longer. The ravioli and apple dumplings are almost ready."

Ada shook her head and let out a mysterious smile. "I came to tell you that Daddy will come over later. He has a surprise for you."

Kisa's smile froze. She did not think Gilbert would bring her any surprises, and he would only spoil her mood if he came. But to avoid hurting the children's feelings, she said politely, "Look, it is so cold now, and there is snow and wind. The temperature is going to drop tonight. It is better to ask your daddy not to come, lest he will get sick from the cold."

"Wow, Ma'am, so you are concerned about Daddy. I'm going to tell him."

"Hey, hey..." Kisa tried to stop her, but it was too late; she had rushed out in a whirlwind. Kisa helplessly put her hand to her forehead, reminding herself not to lie in front of the children because they would take it seriously.

By 3:00 pm, Kisa had finished making the apple dumplings and ravioli. Jensen and Mia did not seem to have much appetite, so they ate some apple dumplings. The kids were happy and had good appetites, and they ate the ravioli and apple dumplings. In the evening, Jensen drove the children back to the Kooper residence after dinner because Andrew and Ada had to spend the New Year with Madalyn, while Mia took Blake back to Jensen's house.

The house was silent again. Kisa stared at the half-tray of apple dumplings and ravioli on the table, then got up to clean it up.

Tomorrow, Adrien's drama would officially start filming, and the crew had sent her the location and time. The New Year felt like a dream to her. She enjoyed it as it was quite warm and hoped it would improve for the foreseeable future.

She went to bed early to ensure she would be energetic on the set tomorrow. Fearing that Gilbert might creep into her bed unannounced like he did last time, she locked the bedroom door when she went to bed this time. She leaned against the headboard and went through the script before lying down and getting ready for bed. Just as she turned the light off, she heard a slight rattling from outside. She frowned, her nerves tensing up. 'It can't be that Gilbert is really here, right?'

While thinking, there were suddenly two counts of loud bangs from outside, like the sound of a basin or spoon hitting the floor. She frowned, reaching to turn on the wall light, and got up to walk outside quietly. The living room was pitch black, with only a faint glimmer of light that looked like the light of a cell phone coming from the kitchen. She wondered if Gilbert was really here and what he was doing sneaking around in the kitchen. But then, she was also afraid that I might not be Gilbert but a thief who climbed up via a gas pipe.

With this thought in mind, she hurriedly turned off the wall light in the room, then picked up the cane she had used some time ago. She then walked very gently to avoid making any sound as she made her way to the kitchen door. She hid in the doorway and cautiously looked inside. The person had turned off the cell phone light, which was now completely dark. There was only faint light coming in through the window She could not make out who the person was. She retracted her head, leaned against the wall, and quietly waited for the person to come out while her hand gripped the cane. The person soon emerged but did not notice her. Kisa then struck the back of the person with the cane with no hesitation.
