Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 926

Chapter 926 She Asks Him to Stay

She pulled the quilt tighter around her body, staying still as she heard footsteps in the living room. They sounded heavy and intermittent. Even without looking, she could tell that it was Gilbert’s footsteps.

She was so familiar with that man that she could even recognize his footsteps right away, but she never understood what was in his mind. Otherwise, she would not have been deceived by him so much. She had known him for many years and was familiar with him, but she had never had access to his heart.

Gilbert quietly looked at the plain furnishings of the house. He missed her a lot these days, like going crazy. But he still did not dare to go to her and see her. In the end, he could only come to her house to recollect the bits and pieces between them. He had never expected that the sweet time they had spent together before would only become a dream that was so out of his reach. Now that his dream was shattered. Even the memory of it still hurts. He sat down wearily on the couch, leaning his head back on the back of the couch with his eyes slightly closed. What lingered in his head was her face. There was happiness and sweetness. But there was also grief, hatred, and callousness.

Involuntarily, he thought again of the cruel words she had said in the hospital the other day. He subconsciously frowned, his heart again aching badly. ‘Grandma is right; I’m the only one who is most trapped in this relationship. And now, what should I do? I can’t extricate myself unless I die,’ he thought to himself.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of the door opening. He froze, opened his eyes abruptly, and saw Kisa leaning against the doorway of her room. “Y–You are home?”

‘I thought she was keeping Jensen company at the hospital. Had I known she was home, perhaps I wouldn’t have come.’ Gilbert was afraid to see her icily unforgiving face, afraid that she would mention Jensen’s accident to him. Although Jensen’s accident was his unintentional mistake, he did not have the courage to explain himself and shirk his responsibility.
