Chapter 1434
As Kisa waited outside the empty gate, she could not help but wonder if she had said something wrong to drive Gilbert away. After waiting for about ten minutes, she saw him walking out of the house again. As he got into the driver’s seat, she suddenly felt something warm in her embrace. Looking down, she saw that it was a hand warmer.
“You…” Kisa tried to express her gratitude, but before she could say anything, his cold voice interrupted her.
“Hold it tight. I don’t want my child to be cold.”
Kisa took a deep breath and all her emotions turned into frustration. As the car started moving, she drew patterns on the foggy window. Without turning her head, she whispered to Gilbert, “Were you willing to come with me to see Jensen because you were worried about me?”
“No,” Gilbert replied coldly. “I just happened to have some free time, and I didn’t want you to do something foolish that could harm my child.” He had been particularly harsh with her lately.
Kisa had just drawn a smiling face on the car window, but as soon as she heard what was said, she hastily wiped it away and replaced it with a frowning face. As she turned around, she flashed a smile at the man and quipped, “Is it really that hard for you to say something sweet to make me feel better?”
“Why should I make you feel better?” Gilbert asked, his tone as cold as ever.
“Because I’m pregnant. When I’m happy, our baby will be happy too.”
Gilbert remained silent. He despised the smile on her face. ‘She despises me with every fiber of her being and secretly plots my demise, yet she can still plaster a fake smile on her face and act as if nothing is amiss. It’s almost comical to see her go from murderous rage to sweet and harmless. Talk about being two-faced!’
THAPE
The car was driving smoothly, and it was warm inside. Kisa leaned back on her seat and fell asleep without realizing it. When she woke up again, the car was already parked outside a villa. There was no one in the driver’s seat. She looked around outside and noticed that Gilbert was leaning against the front of the car, smoking a cigarette. She felt that he was becoming more and more addicted to smoking.
Holding her hand warmer, she opened the car door and got out. A gust of cold wind blew, making her shiver. She walked over to him and said, “Did we arrive a long time ago? Why didn’t you wake me up?”
