Reborn Through Fire Chapter 1450
Gilbert's dark eyes glistened with a hint of coldness and self-mockery. He took a heavy drag of his cigarette and his lips curved into a sad smile. In the video footage, Kisa made a copy of a document and put the original back in the safe. It was only when she left the room that Gilbert finally looked away.He tilted his head to the ceiling and a faint chuckle escaped his lips, filled with self-derision.He knew that Kisa's presence in the Kooper residence was to take him down, but he had foolishly believed that she would not be so heartless. Now he had no choice but to face the truth.He seemed like he could do nothing about it, and he was not even willing to put a stop to it. He was like a hopeless, dying man waiting for her to finish him off.Davian walked in with the takeout with snowflakes covering his shoulders.Gilbert gazed at his shoulders and muttered, "It is snowing?""Yeah, it's not heavy, but it is freezing out there." Davian walked over as he brushed his shoulders.

Gilbert let out a derisive laugh and continued smoking without saying a word. The whole office was filled with a thick cloud of smoke.Kisa opened the window and walked over to his desk. He squinted his eyes and looked at her with a hint of mockery. Ignoring his icy demeanor and taunts, Kisa placed a thermos in front of him. "Here's soup and some side dishes I cooked especially for you. Eat it while it's still warm."There was also some takeout food on the table, which looked like it had not been touched and had gone cold. Kisa knew the man either did not eat or ate cold food. It would be strange if he did not have stomach problems. She had even bought some stomach medicine on her way to the office.She placed the medicine on the table and said to him with concern, "You can keep this box of medicine in your drawer. If your stomach hurts, you can take it anytime."Gilbert continued to look at her with a mocking expression. The cigarette between his fingers had just been lit and had

Gilbert pulled out a pack of cigarettes and shook one out. He instinctively reached for his lighter, but as he glanced at the woman's belly, he suppressed the urge to smoke. The cigarette dangled between his fingers as he casually observed the woman in front of him, his tone icy."Why aren't you leaving yet?"Kisa tucked away her thermos and whispered to him, "I'm leaving now. Rest early and take care of yourself."She gave him a deep glance before walking out the door.As soon as she left, Gilbert suddenly grabbed the lamp and penholder from his desk, hurling them to the ground with a sharp motion of his hand. He stood up, hands on hips, his unexplainable fury growing stronger. He did not know what was wrong with him. When he saw the woman, he was thrilled, but when she appeared before him, he was agitated. However, after driving the woman away, he was even more annoyed. These conflicting feelings felt like a kind of disease that could not be cured.Walking to the window, he look

Kisa pursed her lips.'What a load of nonsense to be busy with! Davian has already said that the company has been quiet lately. Obviously, he just doesn't want to sleep with me.'But she supposed it was kind of him to let her use the lounge and even invite her up."Well then, I'll go to sleep first. You should rest early too, don't stay up too late," Kisa said before walking toward the neatly arranged lounge.The room was spotless with white sheets that were neatly folded at the foot of the bed. Kisa touched the bedding, and it was so thin that it felt like she was lying on an air-conditioned blanket. She took off her outer clothes and lay down, quickly covering herself with the sheets. But even with the heater on full blast, the open window made the room freezing cold. Kisa curled up, hoping Gilbert would hurry and come to warm her up.After tossing and turning for what felt like hours, she finally called out to Gilbert at the door, "Gilbert, aren't you going to sleep?""No, I'm

Sometimes all you need is a good night's sleep to forget all your worries and drift off into dreamland. But for Gilbert, that was not the case. The bed was a mess, with the lingering scent of the woman who had left him feeling more agitated than ever.He tried turning the heat down, but still felt suffocated. In the end, he just pulled the covers down and only covered himself up to his waist, baffled at why the woman was so cold when he himself was sweating.With the lights turned off, the whole building was plunged into darkness. As he lay there staring at the ceiling, he could not help but wonder why his feelings toward her were so conflicting. He both longed to see her and felt annoyed by her presence.Normally, he would have been asleep by now, but tonight was different. He glanced at the clock, realizing it was already 2 a.m. and he was wide awake. His mind was in turmoil, disturbed by the woman's presence even in her absence.Suddenly, he heard a soft rustling from the office

Gilbert fell silent again, but it was clear that he was not pushing her away or trying to move away from her. Kisa snuggled into his embrace, feeling warm and safe, and soon drifted off to sleep.But just as she was about to enter dreamland, she heard a muffled voice from above her head. "Even if you try to pretend, I won't be fooled again."'Not again!' Kisa sighed silently, knowing that any explanation she could offer would be futile. She just murmured a soft "Mmm" and tried to ignore him, drifting off into a deep slumber.But suddenly, she felt his lips on hers, harsh and punishing, almost as if he were seeking revenge. Kisa was annoyed and turned over, muttering, "Stop it, I'm sleepy."Then she heard his deep and repressed whisper in her ear. "If you want to kill me, just do it. I'm not afraid anymore, because... if I die, I'll make sure you come with me. With you by my side, nothing else matters."His voice was both tender and low, as if he were confessing his love and his re

Kisa turned to him and spoke seriously, "Don't worry. Gilbert and I are fine. I'm just working on something big right now, and once it is done, I'll clear up the misunderstanding between us.""What something big?" Davian asked, puzzled.Kisa smiled at him. "Nothing much. Just remember that I won't hurt him again."Davian did not believe her. "You're always so heartless, like Mr. Kooper said. You're cold and ruthless and can never be tamed."Kisa's face darkened. "You're the one who can't be tamed."Davian chuckled. "I'm not the one who said it, Mr. Kooper did."Kisa snorted and continued eating.After finishing the meal, she waited for Gilbert in the lounge for two hours. When he still had not returned, she left directly.Leaving the GK building, she drove to Mia's place. When she was waiting for Gilbert earlier, she came up with a plan that could both save GK and deceive Adrien. Whether the plan would work or not depended on whether Mia truly considered her a friend.Mia was

Gilbert looked at the pentagram without a flicker of emotion, his expression revealing a hint of apathy and disdain. Davian did not know what he meant and just asked, "Mr. Kooper, do you want to see it? I can open it for you."Gilbert remained silent, only taking out a cigarette and lighting it, his chilling gaze fixed on the pentagram. Davian felt uneasy, thinking that Gilbert did not want to see the thing, and said, "If you don't want to see it, I'll just throw it away. If it was an urgent matter, she'd surely call you instead of leaving a note.""Give it to me."Just as he was about to throw the pentagram into the trash can, Gilbert suddenly let out a low, soft hum. Davian was startled and quickly handed the pentagram to him.Gilbert looked at the pentagram, with a sneer on his lips. With his slender fingers, he quickly opened the pentagram, revealing the elegant handwriting that caught his eye.[It's getting cold. Remember to wear more clothes. Come back to the Kooper residenc
