Chapter 233 Play Pretend
Kisa saw the glint in Carolyn’s eyes.
However, she did not respond and took out the gifts from the car.
“Carolyn, I know you love jewelry, so I bought this for you when I was at the mall just now,” Kisa said as she opened one of the jewelry boxes.
When she opened the box, an emerald necklace came into view.
Under the sunlight, the shine of the gemstone was almost blinding.
Carolyn was delighted. Nevertheless, she exclaimed politely, “Oh! Why’d you bring us gifts when you’re only coming home for dinner? We’re family; you didn’t have to.”
However, Carolyn’s actions were more honest than her words; she accepted Kisa’s gifts.
“Come in! Your father’s been waiting for you the entire day,” Carolyn said.
She held Kisa’s arm affectionately as they entered the house.
Kisa saw Christopher on the couch the moment they entered the house.
Christopher had an awkward–looking expression on his face. His smile looked forced and seemed ingenuine.
‘Well, he’s a businessman, after all. He’s not a natural–born actress like Carolyn,‘ Kisa thought sardonically.
Regardless, she said respectfully, “Hello, father.‘
“You’re home,” Christopher smiled awkwardly. He did not know what to say, so he continued sitting awkwardly.
Meanwhile, Carolyn shoved him in annoyance.
“Look at you! It’s a rare occasion for Kisa to come home. Why are you standing there? Go ask the servants if dinner is ready. Don’t let Kisa starve.”
“Ah… I’ll go do that right this instant.”
Kisa felt ironic at the sight of Christopher walking away in panic.
Carolyn has my father right in the palm of her hand,‘ thought Kisa.
“Come here, Kisa. Have a seat,” Carolyn motioned to the couch enthusiastically.
Kisa smiled, “You don’t have to trouble yourself this much.”
She scanned her surroundings and continued, “Where’s Sharon? Her face…”
