Chapter 1463
Reborn Through Fire
Kelvin shrunk his neck and shut up obediently.
Gilbert took the suitcase from Davianâs hand and said to Kisa in a flat voice, âItâs time to board. Letâs go.â
Without waiting for her response, he dragged the suitcase and walked away.
Kisa glanced at his back and turned to Kelvin. âTake good care of Gracie. Iâll go check on her when I come back.â
âMhm, have fun in Oceanville.â Kelvin watched the retreating figures and suddenly exclaimed,â Thinking back now, Kisa had it rough. We were biased against her after all.â
âHiss! Mr. Hoover, what are you doing? Are you getting sentimental since youâre about to become a dad?â
âGet lost, you donât even have a girlfriend. You donât understand anything.â
âI have a girlfriend. I have Felicity, even though she hasnât talked to me in days. Sheâs definitely just busy.â
Kelvin was speechless.
Kisa almost ran to catch up with Gilbert. He walked too fast with his long legs and the distance.
between them widened again before she could catch her breath.
âGilbert, slow down, I-I have a stomach ache. Kisa gasped, holding her waist with one hand and the right side of belly with the other.
Gilbert ignored her. In his eyes, Kisa lied all the time, and who knew if her âstomach-acheâ was real or not. But his steps could not help but stop.
Seeing Gilbert standing nearby, Kisa was overjoyed and quickly ran up to him. But just as she ran up, he started walking away again.
Kisa quickly grabbed his arm and said, âCan you let me catch my breath?â
As Gilbert tightened his brows and grew visibly troubled, Kisa held onto his arm, leaning in close. From behind, they looked like a loving couple, inseparable and intimate.
Kisa took a deep breath and spoke up. âGilbert, when I was pregnant for the first time, I didnât feel uncomfortable or experience morning sickness. I took good care of myself.â
The only thing that was bad was that she cooked every day, waiting for him, but he never came back.
âWhy are you telling me this? To make me feel guilty? Or are you afraid that I will feel guilty?â Gilbertâs lips curled up in a cold, emotionless smirk.
Kisa lowered her eyes and muttered, âIt is not to make you feel guilty, nor am i afraid of you feeling guilty. Iâm just saying Gilbert glanced at her, then withdrew his arm and walked away. Kisa watched him leave for a while until her vision blurred, and he impatiently called out to her at the boarding gate, âIf you donât want to go, you can leave now.â
Taking a deep breath, Kisa walked over, trying to keep a calm face. Gilbert had booked first-class tickets, and the plane was relatively empty. Once on board, she leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, not wanting to say anything, as she knew whatever she said now would be wrong.
The plane had not taken off yet, and Gilbert was on the phone. âIâll leave the companyâs affairs to you for the time being. Be more careful, and if there are any major issues, let me know.â
Perhaps it was because the cabin was too quiet, Kisa faintly heard the voice on the other end of the phone. It sounded like Davianâs voice.
âMr. Kooper, the company has been having some problems lately, and actually, you donât need to go to Oceanville at this time. Just let Mr. Webb Sr. know-â
âOkay, weâre taking off now. I have to go.â
Kisaâs heart skipped a beat.
âSo Gilbert didnât have to go to Oceanville after all. Risen Enterprise must have already started making moves. In this situation, Gilbert should have stayed at the company. But why did he decide to take me to Oceanville anyway?â
