Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 1177

Chapter 1177 The Distance Between Us

At night, after taking a shower, Kisa leaned on the headboard while reading a magazine.

She thought that Gilbert would go to his study and work for a bit after showering. However, she was surprised to see him walking to the bed directly after coming out of the bathroom.

Kisa quickly moved to the side, leaving a huge space on the bed for him.

The man had looked emotionless for a few days, but she could feel that he was not in a very good mood.

Kisa figured that he might still be angry at what happened several days ago.

Kisa had no plans to cheer him up.

Even though their dreary way of getting along with each other was a little suffocating, they could not find a better way to do it.

After all, she was filled with contradictions and conflicts. She just could not figure out how to face him.

So, she thought that it would be better for them to ignore each other like this.

Gilbert gazed at Kisa's cold face for a second before he lifted the blanket and sat on the bed.

There was about one and a half feet distance between them, and a person could easily fit in the gap.

Gilbert leaned against the headboard. Then, he grabbed a book about business strategy from the nightstand and started reading.

However, he just could not find himself concentrating after looking at the book for a long time.

He rubbed his sore temple and decided to lie down instead.

Kisa looked at the time and it was only eight o'clock.

But the man beside her looked like he was about to sleep already.

She pursed her lips and put away the magazine. Then, she stretched her arms out and switched off the light quietly.

Suddenly, the room turned completely dark.

Kisa somehow felt relieved after that.

She leaned to the side and spaced out looking at the moon outside the window.

She would fall asleep very soon whenever she lie on the bed by herself.

But she just could not do that with another person lying beside her.

Gilbert suddenly spoke when she was still trying to fall asleep.
