Reborn Through Fire Chapter 1453
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
Reborn Through Fire Chapter 1454
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

As she was falling to the ground, a strong arm quickly lifted her up. Kisa looked up and met Gilbert's cold and indifferent face and unchanging eyes. She quickly forced a smile and said, "Thank you."Gilbert let go of her and stepped back, straightening his sleeves, his voice chilly. "If you drop my child; I'll make you pay for it."Kisa just smiled at him and said, "Are you staying home today?"Gilbert gave her a sideways glance and ignored her, walking back into the house. Soon, the voices of Andrew and Ada came from inside."Daddy, didn't you say you were going out to find mommy? Why did you come back?"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.'She wants GK so badly? Fine, if she asks for it, I'll give it to her. Is she doing it secretly because she's afraid I'd be reluctant to let go?' He opened his eyes, which had regained their

As Kisa reached for the tie on Gilbert's sleeping robe, he instantly grabbed her delicate wrist with an iron grip. Perplexed, Kisa looked up and met his cold, sneering gaze. "Isn't this what you wanted?" she asked, confused."I do want it, but I don't like coercion. Your pathetic attempt at forcing it makes me sick," Gilbert retorted.Kisa's body tensed up, a sharp pain stabbing at her heart. She bit her lip and remained silent, fearing that speaking up would cause her emotions to spill over.Gilbert broke away from her grasp and strode toward the window, throwing it open and lighting a cigarette with a sharp inhale. He seemed to be releasing some pent-up frustration through his smoking.Meanwhile, Kisa buried herself under the covers, fighting against her swirling thoughts. 'Once Adrien's affairs are settled, he'll understand my true intentions.'After smoking three cigarettes at the window, Gilbert finally returned to bed. Perhaps because of the wind, the smell of cigarette smok

Gilbert was propped up in bed, stirring awake with a cigarette in hand. His profile was as cold and forbidding as an icy cliff, sending shivers down the spine of anyone who dared to look at him. Kisa tried to steady herself and flashed him a smile. "What brings you to the land of the living?" she asked. Thank goodness she had stowed away the copies in the car, or else she would be in hot water.Gilbert shot her a quick glance and asked, "Why are you up at this hour?""Nothing much, just parched. I had to quench my thirst with some water," Kisa replied, but Gilbert remained expressionless. He blew smoke rings and focused his gaze on the fluttering curtains, lost in thought.Kisa marched up to him, snuffed out his smoke, and huffed, "You smoke like a chimney day and night. You're killing your lungs."Gilbert suddenly turned his intense gaze on her, his eyes piercing and icy. "Do you want GK?" he whispered, sounding almost tender.Kisa's heart skipped a beat. She crawled under the co
