Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 368

Chapter 368 Do You Think My Dad is a Good Man?

Kisa pursed her lips and did not answer.

Soon, Andrew’s wary voice was heard outside the door. “Ma’am, are you awake yet? Breakfast is ready.”

Kisa closed her eyes and pretended not to hear. Not that she did not like Andrew, she just did not want to see Gilbert.

“Ma’am? Ma’am?” Andrew called out again outside the door, his voice low, mixed with a hint of guilt. “Ma’am, do you not like us here? I–If you don’t like us here, w–we won’t come over next time.” Andrew’s voice was getting lower and lower toward the end of the sentence.

Kisa felt bad. She took a deep breath, then rolled over and got out of bed. As she opened the door, Andrew and Ada were standing in the doorway, looking at her with tears in their eyes. A wash of guilt overwhelmed her. She stroked the children’s heads and smiled as if nothing had happened. “What is wrong? I just woke up.” No matter how much she hated Gilbert, she could not bring herself to reject these two children who loved her so much.

“Ma’am, let’s have breakfast. Daddy made sandwiches for you today.” Ada smiled happily at seeing Kisa’s smile.

Andrew pushed Kisa to the bathroom. “Go wash up. Come and have breakfast afterward.”

Kisa stared at her red and swollen eyes in the mirror and smiled to herself, realizing that crying could really do no good and would just make her look even more like a wretch. She soothed her eyes with a hot towel, and only after the redness became less obvious did she go to the dining room.

She found that Gilbert, Andrew, and Ada were all sitting at the dining table, but no one had yet started eating. They were waiting for her.
