Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 1246

Chapter 1246 Wake-up Call “Will you also be staying at my place, Mr. Kooper?”

Gilbert immediately embraced Kisa into his arms. He chuckled, “Naturally. Wherever my wife is, that’s where I’ll be.”

“Alright, then!” Mr. Mullen Sr. caressed the dragon’s head on his walking stick. Then, he laughed casually, “My place is huge and has lots of room, so you two can stay as long as you like.

Coincidentally, Mr. Tanner will also be staying for a few days. You can all keep each other company.”

Kisa turned to look at Adrien in reflex.

‘It seems like Adrien and Mr. Mullen Sr. truly share an extraordinary relationship,’ she thought.

As usual, Adrien met her gaze with a smile in his eyes. He looked gentle and amiable.

Kisa watched him. Strangely, she did not find him genuine.

‘I have a really bad impression of Adrien right now. I wonder if it’s because he’s with Carolyn,’ she thought.

Not only was the Mullen residence huge, but even their interior was incredibly lavish.

Since Gilbert and Kisa were husband and wife, the servants prepared a room for them on the third floor.

Meanwhile, Felicity and Davian left before the banquet ended.

Kisa stood by the window on the third floor. Many were still in the front yard, and Mr. Mullen Sr. was among the guests.

Gilbert sat on the sofa. After peering at her for a while, he asked, “Why are you trying so hard to stay over at the Mullen residence? What are you trying to do?”

Kisa subconsciously turned around when she suddenly heard his voice.

She felt a little conflicted. She was not sure if she should tell him that she was investigating David.

After all, her trust in this man was still insufficient, so she could not tell him about many of her thoughts.

Kisa gave it some thought and smiled at him. “Nothing. It’s just like you said, this villa is spectacular, so I wanted to stay over and get a feel of it.”

Gilbert gazed at her intensely. Moments later, his dark eyes gradually showed a hint of self- mockery.

He lowered his gaze and flicked the cigarette between his fingers.

“If you’re not willing to tell me, then so be it. After all, you’ve never told me the truth.”

Kisa opened her mouth and wanted to say something. However, she did not know what else she could say.

She watched as the man on the couch pulled his tie in annoyance before getting up and walking outside.

Kisa called out to him in reflex, “Where are you going?”

“Downstairs for a walk.”

The man said indifferently. Then, he walked out of the room.

Kisa pursed her lips. For some reason, she felt that she had wronged the man a little.

She shook her head. She dismissed the strange feeling in her heart and walked outside.

Back then, Ms. Mullen got hurt by Adrien, so she must know best about David. I wonder how is Ms.

Mullen right now, she thought.

Kisa heard from the servants that Vivian usually stayed at the little cabin behind the backyard.

However, she also had a room on the second floor of the villa.

Practically everyone in the Mullen family was in the front yard talking to guests, so there were few servants in the huge villa.

She asked around and learned that Vivian stayed in the room at the end of the second floor.

Kisa walked toward the end of the second floor. Just as she got to the door of the room, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from within.

She felt her heart stop, and she instinctively hid in the pantry next door.

When she cautiously stuck her head out, she saw Mrs. Mullen Sr. and the Mullen family’s eldest son, Albert. They were walking out of Vivian’s room.

“Mom, I think Vivian is still in love with that b*stard.”

“What can we do? Your sister was deeply in love with him back then. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gotten hurt to this extent.”

“However, Mr. Tanner seems to be able to calm Vivian’s emotional outbursts. Speaking of which, Mr.

Tanner’s physique resembles David’s.”

Kisa froze as if she had just gotten a wake-up call.
