Chapter 878 Illusions of Happiness
Gilbert did not see Kisa on the road, so he immediately went to her place.
The moment he opened the door, the dead silence in the house made him panic.
He quickly walked and checked every room before even changing out of his shoes.
Every room was empty, even the kitchen and toilet.
‘She didn’t come home. But it’s pouring outside, so where else would she go? There are various exquisite–looking dishes on the table. It’s a birthday today, so I can tell she put a lot of effort into preparing this meal. Some of the dishes are food that she likes, and there’s also food that I like,‘ thought Gilbert.
He quietly stared at the untouched dishes on the table and felt tears well up in his
eyes.
‘If only these accidents didn’t happen. Right now, I should be spending her birthday with her in this cozy house. I’d be telling her surprises and seeing the happy expression,‘ he thought.
It was almost as if Gilbert could see the warm and cozy scenarios he had pictured in his head in front of his eyes.
However, the illusions of happiness in his head were abruptly shattered by the sound of thunder.
He stumbled two steps back and leaned against the wall in anguish.
‘That woman still isn’t home, and her phone is off. She definitely misunderstood me. What should I do? How should I let her believe me again in the future? It’s not possible anymore. Right? She won’t possibly trust me anymore, right? If the prison guard really did falsely accuse me, she probably won’t believe me even if I died in front of her,’ he thought.
At the thought of the prison guard, Gilbert’s gaze turned icy.
“The rainstorm today is so strange; it’s never–ending. Blake can’t even go outside to play,” Mia sprawled in front of the window and said in low spirits.
Meanwhile, Blake was reading a book on a carpet beside her.
Hearing her words, he could not help but laugh, “Aren’t you the one who wants to go out to play, mama?”
“What’re you talking about? Read your book.”
Mia said while glancing at the man nearby.
He had been staring out the window in a daze ever since he returned.
However, she did not ask much about it.
