Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 1448

Chapter 1448

Adrien held the phone to his ear, the other hand clenching a cigarette. Smoke swirled around him, enveloping his brooding and complex expression. He smirked, a sardonic glint in his eye. “Well, I haven’t been a father, so I can’t answer your question.”

Kisa sighed, resigned. “Never mind. Maybe he never saw me as his daughter. He accused me of scheming against him, but when I asked who that ‘someone‘ was, he couldn’t provide an answer. It was all just his paranoid delusion.”

Adrien flicked ash from his cigarette, a wry smile playing on his lips. “Maybe you’re right.”

“Let’s not talk about him. Honestly, he’s not much of a father to me. You are kind and good to me, and sometimes I wish you were my father instead.”

Adrien’s smoking hand paused mid–air. His thoughts drifted as smoke filled the air, mingling with his memories.

“If only we had a daughter, our son would have a sister.”

“I love daughters too, so you have to give me another one.”

Adrien’s mind returned to the present.

‘Daughter?‘ Adrien chuckled softly, the laughter sounding somewhat unreal. “If you don’t mind, you can call me your godfather.”

“Really?” Kisa’s eyes lit up with feigned excitement. “Godfather!”

“You can…call me Dad, if you want.” Adrien’s voice was deep and rich yet shrouded in complex emotions that he could not quite put into words.
