Chapter 368 Do You Think My Dad is a Good Man?
Kisa pursed her lips and did not answer.
Soon, Andrewâs wary voice was heard outside the door. âMaâam, are you awake yet? Breakfast is ready.â
Kisa closed her eyes and pretended not to hear. Not that she did not like Andrew, she just did not want to see Gilbert.
âMaâam? Maâam?â Andrew called out again outside the door, his voice low, mixed with a hint of guilt.
âMaâam, do you not like us here? IâIf you donât like us here, wâwe wonât come over next time.â
Andrewâs voice was getting lower and lower toward the end of the sentence.
Kisa felt bad. She took a deep breath, then rolled over and got out of bed. As she opened the door, Andrew and Ada were standing in the doorway, looking at her with tears in their eyes. A wash of guilt overwhelmed her. She stroked the childrenâs heads and smiled as if nothing had happened. âWhat is wrong? I just woke up.â No matter how much she hated Gilbert, she could not bring herself to reject these two children who loved her so much.
âMaâam, letâs have breakfast. Daddy made sandwiches for you today.â Ada smiled happily at seeing Kisaâs smile.
Andrew pushed Kisa to the bathroom. âGo wash up. Come and have breakfast afterward.â
Kisa stared at her red and swollen eyes in the mirror and smiled to herself, realizing that crying could really do no good and would just make her look even more like a wretch. She soothed her eyes with a hot towel, and only after the redness became less obvious did she go to the dining room.
She found that Gilbert, Andrew, and Ada were all sitting at the dining table, but no one had yet started eating. They were waiting for her.
Kisa now could not understand Gilbertâs intentions. On the one hand, he hated her, but on the other hand, he came to make her breakfast. His contradictory behavior upset her. She did not want to know why. She stayed peacefully with him under the same roof just for the sake of these two children.
âEat up. You two have to go to school. Donât wait for me.â Kisa said to the children with a smile while ignoring Gilbert.
Andrew came up to her with a sandwich. âMy daddy made this, especially for you. Try it.â
The small sandwich was neat. Other aspects notwithstanding, Gilbert had some culinary flair. Kisa took it and put it aside, then stroked Andrewâs head with a smile. âI know. Finish your meal.â
âBesides the sandwich, Daddy has also cooked you oatmeal, fried eggs, and garlic breads,â Ada said.
She could not wait to bring all the dishes in front of Kisa while praising Gilbert. âDaddy said he made this many dishes so you could choose whatever you wanted. My daddy is really the most thoughtful man in the world, isnât he?â
Gilbert was drinking milk when he heard Adaâs compliment. He felt so embarrassed that he almost spit out his milk.
Kisa glanced at him indifferently and smiled at Ada. âYou are still small and donât understand with Gilbert in front of the two children depressing. Just as the atmosphere in the room slowly eased up, there was a knock at the door. Kisa got up and answered it.
Gilbert glared at her from behind her with anger. âYou really canât wait to see him, can you? The moment the doorbell rang, you rushed to open it, not afraid that there could be some bad guys outside.â
Kisaâs hand was already on the door handle when she heard him say this. She turned around and called him sick. âThis man is definitely sick. Iâm just answering the door, and he canât stop being sarcastic.â
But Gilbert was stunned when Kisa pulled the door open.
