The man was in pain and abruptly pushed her away. When he wiped his mouth, his hand was stained with blood.
Kisa stepped back in shock. She looked into his eyes and shivered. "Y-You made me do this."
"If Jensen had kissed you instead, wouldn't you have been enjoying instead of biting him?" His voice was filled with rage as he said the last sentence.
Kisa was afraid of his out-of-control look as much as she hated and resented him. She clenched her hands and said, "Yes, you are right. If it was Jensen, I would be enjoying it, and you, I just feel disgusted." 'Didn't he always say I was disgusting? What's with this forced kiss? It is ridiculous and ironic, just like that time when he called me cheap and disgusting and forced himself on me. Doesn't he feel that his words and actions contradict each other?'
The knuckles of his hands crackled as Gilbert clenched his hands. Kisa's heart was pounding, and she turned to leave, fearing that he would do something to her again. But as soon as her hand reached the doorknob, the door was pushed open from the outside. She bumped into the door and was forced back several steps. When she saw that the person who came in was Jensen, she suddenly felt relieved.
Jensen was equally relieved and took Kisa into his arms when he saw her. "I'm glad you are okay. I just heard there was an incident at the party. I'm to blame for leaving in the middle of it."
Gilbert's eyes looked like they were hardened with ice, staring at the two of them with a deadly gaze. 'I knew it; the only person she wants to rely on is that man.' The atmosphere in the lounge was tense as a storm was brewing inside Gilbert.
Kisa could not stay any longer. She withdrew from Jensen's arms and said to him, "The party is almost over, right? Let's talk to Mr. McCray for a minute before we go."
"Okay." Jensen nodded his head, a look of anger flashing in his eyes when he saw the blood on Gilbert's lips. "Thank you for protecting Kisa just now," he said.
"Thank you?" Gilbert laughed morosely with sarcasm. "Who are you to say thank you to me when I protect her? Who are you to her, and in what position do you say thank you to me? Huh?"
