Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 1428

Chapter 1428 It’s All So Fake

Gilbert stood there, silent as a statue, staring at Kisa with a poker face.

Kisa was caught off guard by his stoic demeanor and tried to break the ice by nudging the chicken soup toward him. “Come on, drink it before it gets cold.”

Gilbert took a cursory glance at the bowl, but kept his arms folded and made no attempt to reach for it. Kisa’s smile stiffened as she wondered what the heck was going on. She probed him with a teasing tone, “Are you asking me to feed you?”

He still did not budge or say a word. Kisa puckered her lips and lifted the bowl closer to him. She did not mind playing the good girl and indulging his whims if it meant a trip to Oceanville. But before she could spoon-feed him, he suddenly caught her wrist in his hand. His palm was warm, a stark contrast to her cold hands and feet that had been freezing all winter.

Gilbert raised his gaze to hers, his deep eyes devoid of any emotion. “Trying to please me?”

Kisa let out a light chuckle, “Nah, not really. I just thought I’d cook you some chicken soup since it’s chilly outside.”

“Hmph!” The man snorted coldly. “Do you actually care about me?” With a swift motion, he snatched the chicken soup from her hands and plunked it down on the desk. “I already told you, if you behave yourself and don’t stir up any trouble, I will take you to Oceanville. So don’t try to put up a show to impress me. It’s all so fake!” He sneered as he poured the chicken soup into the nearby trash can right in front of her, making sure she saw it.

Kisa took a deep breath and kept her mouth shut.

Gilbert studied her for a moment and cracked a small smile. “I see. You are playing nice now, just so you can stay close and plot your revenge. You’ve even managed to curb your temper, which is impressive for you. You said you won’t leave me, and I believe you. How could you bear to part ways before you have had your sweet revenge?”

Kisa hung her head low, staying silent the whole time.
