As Kisa looked up, she heard the sound of dishes crashing onto the ground, making a sharp and distinct noise. Suddenly, her heart leaped as she saw Peter. But something was different about him. He no longer had the same arrogant and reckless demeanor he used to have. He appeared thinner and worn, with a hint of despair and bitterness on his face.
“You ungrateful son, what’s wrong with you? Can’t you see we have guests?” Mr. Webb Sr. rushed over, taking two steps at a time, and threw a punch at Peter.
Peter shrugged nonchalantly, his gaze skipping over Kisa and Gilbert. With a light chuckle, he said, “Oh, it’s them. They’ve finally arrived.” Then he turned and walked upstairs, exuding a menacing aura that was hard to ignore.
Mr. Webb Sr. was both angry and helpless. He asked a servant beside him, “Why’s he so moody again?”
“He lost his temper at us because his upstairs guest didn’t like the food. As if it’s our fault.”
Kisa furrowed her brow slightly. ‘His upstairs guest? What did that mean?”
Mr. Webb Sr. coughed awkwardly and said, “Never mind, everyone, please get back to work. Butler, please prepare a nice room for our guests.”
Kisa glanced upstairs and felt that something was off about Peter.
Thomas who was standing nearby smiled and explained, “My younger brother hasn’t been feeling great lately, so I hope you won’t hold it against him.”
“Did something happen to him? He seemed fine when we were in Calthon,” Kisa asked.
Thomas gave a gentle smile and said, “Nothing really happened. He’s just upset about the arranged marriage my dad set up for him, so he’s been giving him a hard time.”
“Alright, let’s get the guests to the dining room,” Mr. Webb Sr. urged, cutting the conversation short.
Kisa pursed her lips, not giving it much thought.
“Mr. Kooper, since you’ve come to Oceanville, you’ve got to spend a few extra days here.” Mr. Webb Sr. raised his glass to Gilbert with enthusiasm.
Gilbert returned the gesture and said, “That’s exactly what I was thinking, but I don’t want to bother you too much.” novelbin
“Don’t worry about that, my house is empty. You can stay here as long as you like,” Mr. Webb Sr. said, raising his glass to Kisa. “Welcome to Oceanville, Mrs. Kooper.”
Kisa was about to decline, but Gilbert suddenly grabbed the drink in front of her and said to Mr. Webb Sr., “She doesn’t drink, so I’ll take this one for her.”
Mr. Webb Sr. smiled and did not mind it. He just said, “I’m too old for all the sightseeing, but I will have my eldest son take you around Oceanville tomorrow.”
Gilbert nodded, and Kisa said, “Thank you, that would be lovely.”
After dinner, Mr. Webb Sr. and Gilbert went to the study to discuss business, while Kisa went to the bedroom to rest. The bedroom was on the sunny side of the second floor, and the light was fantastic. Kisa sat by the window and looked at the yard.
The Webb residence was indeed quiet. Apart from two or three servants trimming the flowers and plants, there was no one else around.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. She got up to answer it, and Thomas was standing outside with a servant who was holding a bowl of hot dessert.
“Mrs. Kooper, this is a special hot dessert that I asked the servant to make for you. It’ll warm you up,” Thomas said.
“Thank you,” Kisa stepped aside and let the servant in.
She could not help but take a closer look at Thomas and thought that he had a gentle character, which was quite different from Peter’s. She suddenly remembered what Peter had said about his brother having the same red birthmark on his chest as her mother, and she wondered if this man really was the one she was looking for.
“Mrs. Kooper, if you have any problems, feel free to tell me. You can also tell me where you want to go for fun,” Thomas suddenly said, smiling.
Kisa snapped out of her thoughts and quickly nodded to thank him.
“Well, I won’t disturb you anymore, Mrs. Kooper. You rest well,” Thomas said as he was about to leave.
Kisa quickly stopped him and called out, “Wait.”
