Kisa's body jolted, and she instinctively sat up straight.

Peter grinned and dropped his gaze.

"He said he had been just as desperate as me once upon a time, but he ended up with absolutely nothing."

He flicked the ash off his cigarette and looked at Kisa.

"So, do you still carry a torch for him?" Kisa pursed her lips.

"He is the only man I have ever loved."

"Uh-huh, his predicament is totally different from mine. At least you love him. But Jolina..."

Peter's lips curved into a self-deprecating and bitter smile.

"What's the point of clinging on? I'm scared she'll end up dead. Gilbert told me you almost died in front of him once, and that was the most terrifying moment of his life. If Jolina dies, I don't think I'd be able to keep on living.So, I need to let go.I still want her to have a good life."

Peter's voice was laced with discontent and helplessness.

Kisa felt a pang of sadness listening to Peter's words.She tried to reassure him.

"Don't think of it that way.It's just that your way of loving her is too extreme, and she can't handle it. Maybe she doesn't dislike you as much as you think."

Peter chuckled wryly and looked down.

"I'm well aware of what she feels for me.The man she fancies has always been someone else.A bright and wholesome dude, irreplaceable in her heart."

Kisa suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then she asked, "What about Gilbert?"

"After he talked me down last night, he took off from the Webb residence."

"Do you know where he went?" Kisa asked frantically, her voice brimming with anxiety.

Peter said, "He said he was going to help you with something."

"Help me with something?"

Kisa furrowed her brow.

Suddenly, Peter spoke again.

"I heard this morning that the Tanner residence was robbed. But it seems like nothing was stolen, the thief just got beat up. Unfortunately, they didn't catch the guy."

"The Tanner residence..."

Kisa suddenly remembered something, her face darkening.

‘That's right. A few days ago I asked Gilbert to go to the Tanner residence's backyard to check something out.I didn't expect him to remember.So now he's hurt? His phone's turned off, and he's gone missing.He must be trapped at the Tanner residence.I have to go save him."

She stood up in a hurry, but in her haste, she knocked over the cup of water next to her.

The water spilled all over the table, and some even splashed on her.

Peter watched her silently, then suddenly said, Let me go to the Tanner residence for you."Kisa looked at him in surprise.

"You—"

"You're in such a hurry, and it's likely that 'thief' is Gilbert.After all, the Tanner family has a great reputation in Oceanville, so who else would dare to steal from them? Gilbert must have gone to investigate something for you."

Kisa calmly said, "Don't jump to conclusions.The person who broke into the Tanner residence can't be Gilbert."

Peter chuckled lightly.

"You don't have to be on guard with me.I won't tell anyone about this.But for you, it's better if you don't go to the Tanner residence and avoid arousing suspicion."

Kisa looked down.

‘Peter's right.If I go to the Tanner residence now, it'd be like walking into a trap.If Adrien becomes suspicious of me, all my disguise and everything I've done to Gilbert would have been in vain.Adrien and Peter have always been close, so it's best if Peter goes to investigate.But can I trust him?' The cigarette burned out.

Peter stubbed it out and stood up.

"Actually, I'm not helping you.I also want to know what Uncle Adrien is up to.He seems to have been executing a plan ever since our time in Calthon." Kisa said nothing.

At this point, she had no choice but to trust Peter. Peter took a few steps outside, then turned to look at her.

"Did your mother love you?"
