Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 A Terrifying Shadow

At this moment, the sound of water suddenly came from the bathroom, and Gilbert breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked to the bathroom. As he looked on solemnly at the door, his long fingers brushing gently against the door handle.

A moment later, he leaned against a wall and lit a cigarette. When he finished the cigarette, the sound in the bathroom gradually stopped as well.

Gilbert looked down at his toes, and his thoughts went back to their first night together.

“It hurts…”

“Kisa, relax…. Yes, just like that…”

Although he knew Kisa had set him up for that night, he still treated her like she was a treasure and gave him all of his gentleness and patience. While, she, too, still remembered the tenderness that night.

As the memories of the past swirled in his mind, that scene of that night appeared in his mind.

A self–deprecating smile then appeared at the corners of his lips. ‘That night, her eyes were deep as she looked at him and played along with me. Did she take me for Jensen?‘

He snuffed out the cigarette butt, and a look of resentment appeared between his brows.

The bathroom door opened.

Kisa then walked out of it dressed in her bathrobe.

Gilbert saw her delicate ankles and the scars from the scratches caused by the branch of her calf.

His gaze turned gloomy as he wanted to grab her.

Yet, the woman seemingly did not see him as she walked straight to her room. His fingers only managed to touch the corner of her robe.

Gilbert watched as the woman walked back to her room and closed the door behind her.

He let out a bitter snort before putting his hand away. ‘She’s totally ignoring me now, huh.‘ He straightened himself up and went outside.

Hearing the sound of the main gate outside opening, Kisa slowly walked over to the window.
