Chapter 1549
After a long, intensely passionate moment, Kisa finally found a deep slumber in the latter part of the night. Gilbert tenderly held her delicate hand in his, marveling at the daintiness of her fingers. He could not believe that this was the woman he had adored since their youth. Despite the many trials and tribulations they had faced, he could not help but feel grateful that fate had brought them back together.
He pulled her closer, her body enveloped in his warm embrace. Softly, he whispered into her ear, "Together, we will find true happiness."
She seemed to have heard him, murmuring a gentle "Mm," like a content kitten snuggled in his arms.
The next morning, Kisa awoke to find Gilbert gazing at her with a look filled with passion and intensity.
Startled, she asked, "What’s going on?"
Gilbert flashed a playful grin.
"Nothing, just admiring how angelic you look when you are asleep."
Kisa looked away, not responding. Lately, she had become more introverted; in the past, she would have shot back a cheeky reply. He could not help but miss the spirited woman she once was.
As Gilbert got out of bed and began getting dressed, Kisa caught a glimpse of the marks on his back. She bit her lip and looked away. Seemingly on purpose, he took his time dressing in front of her.
"Davian called a moment ago, saying there is something urgent at the company. I need to head in."
"Oh," Kisa replied, eyes downcast.
Feeling a mixture of helplessness and affection, Gilbert leaned in and tenderly pressed his lips against hers.
"I have to leave now," he whispered.
"Then go," she replied softly.
