Chapter 1245 Back Down
Kisa was stunned. She blinked and asked, “What do you mean? You’re not going to let me stay at your house?”
Arthur was amused. “You have your husband, so why do you still want to stay at my house? By the way, stop lying to me next time. The trust between people is already fragile enough. If you keep lying, no one will believe you in the future.”
“No… Didn’t we agree to let me stay at your house? You can’t go back on your word after getting back your crystal pendant?! No matter how I lied to you, I still did help you find that crystal pendant of yours, didn’t I? Aren’t you turning your back on someone who helped you?”
Seeing Kisa’s angered and panicked expression, Gilbert frowned slightly.
‘She… really looks like she wants to stay over at the Mullen residence. And, it doesn’t seem to be because of Arthur Mullen. But, what’s her motive behind staying at the Mullen residence? What is she trying to do? Why is she always hiding things from me?’ he wondered.
While Gilbert was in deep thought, Mr. Mullen Sr. and his eldest son Albert walked over with Adrien beside them.
“What are you doing over there, Arthur?” Albert shouted at Arthur.
Arthur quickly turned around. “It’s nothing. I’m just chatting with my friend.”
Mr. Mullen Sr., Albert, and Adrien had already walked over while Arthur was responding.
Adrien threw a meaningful glance at Kisa and Gilbert. Then, he smiled at Arthur. “Impressive, Arthur. You’re already friends with Mr. Kooper from Calthon at such a young age. You will go far.”
Albert quickly pulled Arthur aside.
He knew that the Mullen family hated the Kooper family, so he did not want his son getting too close to them.
When Albert pulled Arthur over, he cautiously glanced at Mr. Mullen Sr.
Mr. Mullen Sr. was not angry. He merely smiled at Arthur and said, “Earlier, you said that your friend wants to stay over at the Mullen residence for a few days. Who is it?”
“This young lady over here,” Arthur said and pointed at Kisa.
