Chapter 1491
It had been a moment before Gilbert finally released her, gasping for air, his eyes as black as midnight.
Kisa regained her composure and gave him a quizzical look. "What’s up with you?" she asked.
Instead of answering, he pulled her in for a tight hug, seeming oddly vulnerable. He buried his head in her neck and murmured, "I just want to be with you, like really be together."
Kisa's heart ached with emotion. She wrapped her arms around him and spoke with conviction, "We will be."
'Just as soon as David's drama is over with. No more drama, no more issues.'
The next day, as they were leaving the Webb residence, Peter was a no- show. Mr. Webb Sr. and Thomas saw them off at the airport. Mr. Webb Sr. tried to convince Gilbert to stay longer, saying, "You guys came all this way. Why not stay a little longer?"
"Yeah, there is a ton of amazing sceneries and views in Oceanville I haven't shown Mrs. Kooper yet," Thomas said.
Gilbert gave Thomas a pointed look, then told Mr. Webb Sr., ’Nah, some work stuff just came up out of nowhere. I've got to get back ASAP.”
"Alright then. Come back and visit us soon," Mr. Webb Sr. said.
Kisa gazed intently at Thomas before joining Gilbert in walking toward the boarding gate.
As they passed through security, Gilbert turned to her and asked, "Do you really think Thomas is your brother?’
She nodded. "He's got the same birthmark and bracelet as my mom. It has to be him."
Gilbert's brow furrowed with suspicion, but he kept his doubts to himself.
They hopped off the morning flight and arrived back at the Kooper residence in the afternoon.
