Chapter 1458
Reborn Through Fire
As she was falling to the ground, a strong arm quickly lifted her up Kisa looked up and met Gilbertâs cold and indifferent face and unchanging eyes She quickly forced a smile and said, â Thank you.â
Gilbert let go of her and stepped back, straightening his sleeves, his voice chilly If you drop my child, Iâll make you pay for it Kisa just smiled at him and said, âAre you staying home today?â
Gilbert gave her a sideways glance and ignored her, walking back into the house. Soon, the voices of Andrew and Ada came from inside.
âDaddy, didnât you say you were going out to find mommy? Why did you come back?â
Kisa smiled and followed them, surprised that Gilbert was planning to come and find her That night, in the study, Gilbert stared at the safe in the cabinet, a sneer appearing on his lips âShe wants GK so badly? Fine, if she asks for it, Iâll give it to her Is she doing it secretly because sheâs afraid iâd be reluctant to let go? He opened his eyes, which had regained their cold clarity âNowadays, thereâs nothing I canât bear to part with, he said in his mind Back in the bedroom, there was no one on the bed, but the sound of water came from the bathroom Gilbert stared at the frosted glass door of the bathroom for a long time before turning and sitting down in the chair by the window. The lights outside were brilliant, but they did not light up the slightest spark in his eyes.
He had been very upset lately, and his mind was often wandering aimlessly. Even though Kisa was now in the same room with him, he still felt distan The bathroom door opened with a soft click, as Kisa, wrapped in a bath towel and mist, walked past him without noticing him and went straight to the wardrobe She pressed the bath towel against her chest with one hand and searched through the wardrobe with the other In no time, she found a cotton nightgown and put it on, completely ignoring Gilbert Gilbert watched silently, with no expression on his face. After she changed into the nightgown, he spoke, âStart preparing in the next two days. Iâll take you to Oceanville in three days.â
Kisa was startled by the sudden sound and quickly looked over, only to find a man sitting by the window. When she saw Gilbert, dressed in black, her face turned red.
âWhen did you come in?â
She had turned on the small lamp on the bedside table, so the room was not very bright. Gilbert was sitting by the window, quiet and unobtrusive, barely noticeable.
âRemember what I said earlier. You can come with me to Oceanville in three days if you want,â he said flatly before getting up and entering the bathroom Kisa listened to the sound of water inside and a smile appeared on her face.
Is he going to sleep here tonight?
Kisa felt very happy and leaned against the headboard, scrolling through her phone. When she saw Gilbert coming out of the bathroom, she quickly moved to the side.
Gilbert was disdainful of Kisaâs affection and mocked her.
He walked over, looking at her false smile and coldly asked, âAre you happy that Iâm sleeping in the room?â
Kisa just nodded eagerly.
Gilbert sneered, âIf I want to have you now, would you be willing?â
Kisa was startled for a moment before realizing what he meant. She instinctively placed her hand on her belly and remembered what the doctor said during her prenatal checkup. She shook her head cautiously.
Gilbertâs smile widened at the corners of his lips, but it sent shivers down her spine. He was not really laughing, but rather mocking her, and even himself.
Kisaâs heart twitched. Seeing that he was about to leave, she quickly grabbed his hand and said, âl- Iâm willing.â
