Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 1184 Are You Sure Youâre Not Blind?
âDidnât I already tell you? My phone battery died. My phone just regained some battery after I found a charging outlet at the mall,â Kisa said.
Gilbert did not believe her. He stood in front of his desk, and his fingers almost crushed the edge of the desk into smithereens.
But, he held back his anger. âSend me your location. Iâll go find you.â
âThereâs no need for that. Iâm done, and Iâm about to leave soon. Itâll be really late if I wait for you to come here.â
Gilbert took a deep breath. âYou better not lie to me!â
âWhy would I? I wouldnât dare lie to you,â Kisa lied through her teeth.
Gilbert gritted his teeth. âAlright. Half an hour. Iâll let you have it if you donât come back in half an hour.â
âOkay! Okay!â
Kisa nodded and quickly hung up.
âItâs better not to leave my phone on,â she thought.
Then, Kisa turned off her phone.
âThat way, itâll be quieter. Once I find a place to stay and get some proper rest, Iâll tell him the truth,â she thought again.
Felicity was nearby. She took off her sunglasses with a smile and glanced at the woman on the stone bollard.
âWhat a coincidence to actually stumble upon this woman here. But, this is strange. Doesnât Gilbert always cling to this woman? Why is this woman at Athadale without Gilbert by her side?â she wondered.
Felicity walked to the side and searched for Gilbertâs number. Then, she called him.
Gilbert had been tense the entire afternoon. Now that he finally got news about the woman, he sat unmoving in his chair as if the energy in his body had been suddenly depleted.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Gilbert thought that it was a call from Kisa, so he hurriedly picked up without even looking.
âWhatâs the matter? Do you need me to pick you up?â
âPfft!â
Felicity could not help but laugh.
Gilbert frowned deeply. He moved his phone away slightly and saw that the caller ID indicated âFelicity Jennings.â
A hint of disdain flashed across his eyes.
Just as he was about to hang up, Felicity laughed hastily, âAre you at Athadale? Why did you leave your woman all alone at the airport exit?â
Gilbert froze. Then, he asked in a tense voice, âWhere did you say she is? Which airport?â âAthadaleâs.â
Gilbertâs expression immediately darkened as he instinctively responded, âThatâs impossible!â
âAfter all, a moment ago, that woman had just sworn that she was shopping at the mall and that sheâd be back in half an hour. She dared to make up such a lie when she was actually in Athadale?â he thought.
âHah. If you donât believe me, so be it. After all, sheâs sitting on a stone bollard a couple of feet away from me. She also seemed like she was chasing after a handsome young man just now.â
âAre you sure youâre not blind?â
Gilbert still did not dare to believe it. It was not that he did not believe Felicityâs words, but he did not believe that Kisa would actually lie to him.
âYouâre the one whoâs blind. I was kind enough to tell you your womanâs whereabouts, and you cursed me to go blind! Iâm done talking. If your wife gets kidnapped, donât say I didnât warn you!â Felicity said angrily and hung up.
With a deep frown, Gilbert quickly searched for Kisaâs phone number and called her.
âSorry, the number you are calling is currently switched off!â
âKisa Becker!â he growled lowly through gritted teeth.
In an instant, his phone was flung away and smashed into pieces.
Coincidentally, Davian came in. When he saw Gilbertâs dark expression, he could not help but warily ask, âWhatâs the matter, Mr. Kooper?â
Gilbert did not say a word.
Instead, he grabbed his coat from the back of his chair and walked out.
Davian hurriedly asked, âWhere are you going, Mr. Kooper?â
Davian looked exhausted. He had bloodshot eyes with dark eye circles, and he looked like he did not sleep well.
Ever since he got dumped by Felicity that night, he had been drinking all day. He was no longer his usual energetic self.
âTo Athadale!â
