Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 665 He Canât Understand It was a video call request sent by Andrew.
Kisa answered quickly and handed the phone to Blake.
âBlake!â It was Adaâs sweet and soft voice which was pleasant to hear.
Kisa dragged a chair, sat beside Blake, and looked at the cute face in the video. âAda, have you taken your Christmas Eve dinner?â
âYeah, Iâve eaten. The servants are on vacation today. So, Daddy cooked us delicious food.â
âMaâam!â Andrew came over too. âHave you two eaten?â
âWeâre eating now.â Kisa took another dish for Blake and asked him to eat.
Blakeâs mood lightened after the video call with Andrew started. He was finally willing to enjoy the meal, swallowing the food and asking Andrew, âWhen are you coming over?â
Andrew thought for a while, then shook his head. âGreat- grandma hasnât slept yet. So, we donât know when we will be able to go there.â
âWhereâs daddy?â
Kisa was eating. Suddenly, she was startled when she heard Blakeâs question. Then, she thought it might be the easier way for kids to communicate.
Indeed, Andrew did not notice anything wrong and replied directly, âDaddy is accompanying greatâ
grandma. He said he would bring us there when greatâgrandma fell asleep.â
âOkay. Maâam and I will wait for you.â
In Madalynâs room of the Kooperâs residence.
Gilbert sat by the bed and chatted with Madalyn patiently.
Madalyn leaned on the bedâs headboard while holding onto Gilbertâs hand. Her face was full of kindness. âI remember you and Jensen liked Christmas the most when the both of you were young.â
âI was naive and easily contented when I was younger,â Gilbert responded softly to Madalyn.
Madalyn smiled and nodded, âYeah. The both of you were easily content when you were younger. At that time, a gift from me could make Jensen happy for many days.â
âI think heâs happy because you gave him the gift but not the gift itself.â
Madalyn stopped talking immediately. She looked at the bright lights outside the window, and her eyes were full of tears.
âThereâll always be some mixed emotions in the hearts when people get older.â
Gilbert patted her hand. âGrandma, do you want to sleep? Iâll stay with you here.â
Madalyn nodded and lay down under the blanket with his support. She did not sleep but stared at Gilbert without blinking. It seemed her grandson would disappear as soon as she closed her eyes.
Gilbert sat back on the chair and held her hand.
Grandma, go to sleep. Iâll go out when you fall asleep.â
Madalyn still did not sleep and just looked at him silently. After a long time, she suddenly said, âDo you know why I donât agree with you being with Kisa?â
Gilbertâs back stiffened and he waited for her to continue.
âBecause she has caused you to lose many things. Her existence will only hurt you. I donât allow you to be with her for your own good and to prevent you from being hurt in the future.â
Gilbert pursed his lips and remained silent.
Madalyn said urgently, âI wonât harm you. Listen to me and break up with her. Otherwise, youâll have a meltdown when you know the truth.â
âWhat truth?â Gilbert asked her.
Madalyn did not clearly spell it out but only continued in a worrying tone, âI wonât force you to do anything if you donât know the truth for your whole life. Iâm just afraid you will know it one day. Do you understand?â
Gilbert shook his head. He really cannot understand. He wanted for more details, but Madalyn was unwilling to say anything.
The room was silent, only the sound of the clock ticking.
Madalynâs smooth breathing soon arose after a while. Gilbert stared at her old appearance for a long time, tucked her quilt, got up, and left. Madalynâs sudden rambling came from behind him when he walked out of the door.
