Chapter 1132
Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 1132 Falling Asleep While Hugging My Wife In the face of Gilbertâs icy confrontation, Christopher could not say a word.
Christopher was reminded of the shabbily-dressed girl that stood in front of his house on a snowy day many years ago.
âShe had frostbite on her hands and feet while her face and nose had turned red from the cold. She cried out, âdad,â and told me her mom was gone. Back then, I did feel bad for her. Since when did that change? Was it when Carolyn called her a b*stard child and said that her mother was an adulteress?
Sheâs said plenty of such things. Thatâs why I subconsciously thought of her as an unclean b*stard child. My contempt toward her did not change despite the DNA test. Now that I think about it, she didnât do anything wrong. I just didnât like her. From the start, I had only thought of Sharon as my child,â he thought.
Gilbert said to him in a cool manner, âPlease leave. Even though youâre Kisaâs father, I wonât forgive you for forcefully drawing her blood.â
âAnd Sharonâ¦â
âYou can continue talking if you want her to be in jail for a few more years.â
Christopher paused and did not dare to continue.
âGet lost!â Gilbert had an icy expression. âIn the future, donât say youâre Kisaâs father. She never had anything to do with the Case family. As for the food and favors you all had given her over the years, IâII translate them to cash and pay you back. In the future, she wonât owe you all a thing, so donât try to emotionally blackmail her in the name of family.â
âMrâ¦â
âScram!â
Christopher felt reluctant. However, he did not dare to say a word, so he could only leave dejectedly.
Madalyn snorted icily as she watched Christopher disappear into the night.
âHow dare he ask me to spare that wench when she killed my unborn great-grandchild. Theyâre lucky I didnât get someone to kill her!â
âMrs. Kooper Sr., actuallyâ¦â
Just as Kelvin wanted to tell Madalyn about Kisaâs pregnancy, Gilbert threw him a glare.
In the end, Kelvin swallowed his unspoken words.
Madalyn turned to him in confusion, âActually, what?â
Kelvin laughed awkwardly. âItâs nothing. I was going to say: actually, Gilbert and Kisa are still young, so they could have a child any time.â
âThatâs different.â Madalyn sighed, âOf course, I was happy when she got pregnant unexpectedly. But, I wouldnât force her even if she wasnât. After all⦠I never approved of her and Gilbert, so not having a child isnât exactly a bad thing.â
Kelvin glanced at Madalyn before glancing at Gilbert.
âThe Kooper family is so complicated. One of them wants to hide the fact that his wife is pregnant, while the other says that she doesnât approve of her grandson being with this granddaughter-in-law and that it isnât a bad thing that they donât have children. Sigh! I canât understand them,â he thought.
Kelvin stretched and smiled, âitâs getting late, so Iâll be leaving. Goodnight, Grandma. Goodnight, Gilbert.â
âMm Gilbert nodded and went to help Madalyn.
Right after Kelvin had left, Davian quickly caught up to him.
âMr Hoover, arenât we getting some drinks?â Davian tugged on Kelvin as they walked out of the courtyard.
Kelvin yawned, âIâm not up for it anymore. Itâs cold tonight. Itâll be nice to fall asleep while hugging my wife. You can go for drinks yourself.â
Kelvin said and got into the car.
Davian pouted.
Liar! He got me excited for nothing. I thought someone was going to have drinks with me tonight.
Hmph! Heâs bullying a single man!â he thought.
âCome on, Grandma. Letâs go inside.â
While Gilbert was helping Madalyn into the house, a bodyguard suddenly came running toward them.
