Chapter 1267 Are You Jealous
Kisa quickly forced a smile and said, “I’m curious, but I also love my life. So, I won’t go seeking death.”
“That’s good. Go upstairs and get some rest, Kisa. Thank you for consoling my aunt today.”
“You’re most welcome. If you’re free tomorrow, we’ll go see your aunt again. We’ll try to help her cheer up.”
“Mhm, okay. Then, I’ll ask you to come with me when I go see her tomorrow.”
Gilbert stood by the window. He stared at the two silhouettes downstairs with a stoic expression. as they chatted and laughed. Then, his expression darkened.
He exhaled a smoke ring as he slowly narrowed his cold. eyes.
Shortly after, Kisa returned to their room.
She opened the door, and the light in the room made her feel a lot calmer.
When she lifted her gaze, she saw the man standing in front of the window with his back facing. her.
Kisa subconsciously smiled at the sight of the man. She did not feel a hint of uneasiness and fear.
She closed the door and strode over. “You’re back early today.”
Gilbert went out in the afternoon.
And, Kisa thought he would return late.
However, the man did not respond and did not even spare a glance at her.
Kisa was skeptical. She ran to his side and tilted her head to glance at him..
‘Oof! His expression is so dark. It’s like he’s the devil himself, she thought.
Kisa moved closer to him out of reflex.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen? Why are you in such a bad mood?”
“You seem to get along really well with that boy from the Mullen family?”
Kisa was startled.
“Don’t flatter yourself. Why would I be jealous of a kid?”
The man’s dark expression had traces of embarrassment.
Kisa leaned toward him. She stared unblinking at him with her big, bright eyes. “If you’re not jealous, then why are you so bothered by me being with Arthur?”
“Did I say I’m bothered by you being with him?”
“You… Aren’t you in such a bad mood because you saw me with him while you were standing here?
‘I really think that’s the case, thought Kisa.
However, Gilbert snorted sardonically, “I’m angry because I waited for you in the f*cking room for the whole day, and I still didn’t see you return.”
‘Um… Gilbert rarely curses. However, I don’t feel repulsed by his cursing. I must be going crazy,” Kisa thought.
Kisa peered at his angered expression and asked, “Why were you waiting for me?”
“You said you were scared and told me to come home early every day. Instead, you ended up having a rendezvous outside with a pretty boy. Kisa Becker, you should let the pretty boy keep you company instead. Why do you still need me?”
