Chapter 1471
Kisa frantically dug through her bag and pulled out her phone, only to find a barrage of missed calls. She had silenced it earlier and forgot to turn the ringer back on.
“Kisa, haven’t I told you to give me a heads up before gallivanting off? If you weren’t carrying my child, I wouldn’t care about your well-being. You want to be a loose cannon, go ahead. Once the baby is born, you can go wherever you please and do whatever you damn well want. I won’t bat an eyelash!” Gilbert barked.
“That’s not what happened.” Gilbert was livid, and Kisa could not figure out why She quickly took hold of his arm and explained, “I didn’t go anywhere today except for Adrien’s house. Thomas was super nice to me and made sure I was okay the whole time. You really don’t need to worry.”
“But this is Oceanville, not Calthon. You’re off doing God knows what, ignoring my calls. How can I guarantee the safety of my child? Kisa, if something happens to my child, you’ll be the one held accountable.”
Gilbert’s fury caused his words to spill out without much thought. The woman in front of him suddenly went silent, her lowered gaze hinting at a tinge of sadness. Gilbert instantly regretted his outburst. He impatiently kicked the chair in front of him, then sat on the windowsill, his hand cradling his forehead.
Kisa gazed at him before finally making her way to sit across from him. “Don’t worry. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep this child safe.”
Gilbert scoffed, “Do you really give a damn about this child?”
“Believe it or not, this child is my reason for living.”
Gilbert chuckled and glanced out the window, clearly not believing what she just said. But Kisa did not want to waste her breath, knowing that words would not make a difference until the matter was resolved. She recalled the strange noise she heard earlier today at the Tanner residence and turned to Gilbert with a serious look on her face.
“Do
you have anyone reliable here who can sneak into the Tanner residence?”
