Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323

Such a Good–Looking Face for Nothing Kisa immediately knew what it was about as soon as he mentioned Andrew and Ada; he was angry because she did not pick up Andrew and Ada from kindergarten. As much as she felt sorry for Andrew and Ada, she did not do it on purpose. So she wondered why Gilbert wanted to target her in business. “I didn’t pick them up from kindergarten, but I asked my assistant to do so. My assistant will take them safely to my place, and I will bring them back to you.”

“It is not the same. They want you to pick them up, yet you are here talking about business. Kisa, don’t promise if you can’t keep it.”

“I–I-” Kisa felt she had done nothing wrong. She was resentful of him, but could not find the words to respond.

At that moment, Gilbert’s cell phone rang, and Kisa

caught a glimpse of the caller ID on his phone screen. It was the kindergarten’s director. Gilbert frowned after the kindergarten’s director said something to him over the phone.

“I know,” he said indifferently on the phone and hung up.

Kisa’s heart sank upon seeing his grave expression. She guessed something might have happened to Andrew and Ada. She looked at the side of his face and asked, “What did the director say? Is it Andrew and Ada—”

“That is enough.” Gilbert snarled at her, his icy voice full of sarcasm. “Don’t act like you are worried about them. You have never. This pretentious look of yours is disgusting.”

Kisa was indignant and had no words, even aggrieved upon hearing what he said. She was not the mother of the children. And because the children like her, and she was also fond of them, she cared about them. ‘Who is he to say this to me? Forget it, Andrew and Ada are important.‘ She did not argue with him, but just asked eagerly, “What exactly did the kindergarten’s director just tell you?”

Just then, a woman in her forties came into the lavatory. When the woman was startled when she saw Gilbert. She quickly did a double take on the sign at the entrance to make sure that she had come to the women’s restroom, and then looked at Gilbert as if he was a pervert.

Gilbert, who was already upset, looked even frostier when the woman gave him that stare. “What are you looking at? ” he yelled.

The woman was startled by the yell and muttered in a low voice, “You have got such a good–looking face for nothing, pervert!”
