Chapter 735 You're Too Defensive

Kisa took the photo from the album and carefully looked at it. There was a line of words behind the photo. It was the name of her mother and the man. There was also the date of when the photo was taken. 'Damon Kooper? Isn't that Gilbert's father's name? Is the man in this photo Gilbert's father?'

At that moment, Gilbert walked toward her with a bowl in his hands. "If you miss your mom, we can go visit her grave sometime. I mean, she is my mother-in-law after all." Kisa did not hear what he had said. Instead, she just

looked back and forth between Gilbert and the man in the photo. "What's wrong?" he asked. Kisa quickly closed the photo album when Gilbert came over. Seeing this, Gilbert frowned in displeasure. "You're too defensive. You hide everything from me and treat me like an outsider," he said.

"Aren't you an outsider?" Kisa asked indifferently, her hands tightening around the closed photo album. 'Jensen said that Gilbert would always react weirdly whenever people mentioned his parents. If he sees this photo, he'll definitely freak out. I should just keep it to myself.' Kisa hurriedly put the photo album and diary away. 'I'll take a good look at it later in my room,' she thought.

Gilbert looked at Kisa's defensive appearance and felt resentful. "Is that really necessary? If I wanted to have a look, I would have flipped through everything before showing it to you. Why is your guard up so high?"

Kisa hugged the photo album and diary in her hands and said in a low voice. "After you finish your food, go to the room you used to sleep in if you want to stay here and remember to close the door." Then, Kisa got up and prepared to go back to her room. Suddenly, Gilbert grabbed her arm.

"Can't you just sit with me for a while?" the man complained with a frown.

"You and I are tired of each other. Wouldn't we just hate each other more if we sit together?" Kisa sneered.

Gilbert was so angry that he wanted to break a bowl when he heard Kisa's tone of voice. However, he held back his temper and said, "When have I ever gotten bored of you? Can you stop acting so eccentric when you talk?"

"Oh, haven't you? Didn't you always stare at me with disgust and yell at me in the past? It's only been a while; I can't believe you've forgotten all about it."

As soon as Kisa mentioned the past, Gilbert was at a loss for words. Looking at the woman's icy face, he said in distress, "All of that was in the past. Now, I...”

"I don't care how you treat me now. I don't want to look at you." After Kisa finished speaking, she pushed

Gilbert's hand away and walked to her room without looking back. Gilbert stared at her back and slammed the table angrily.

'Who said that as long as I get her what she wants, she'll be moved by my actions? This woman's heart is as hard and cold as a rock. There is no way I could touch her heart. Gilbert leaned back hard against the sofa, so furious that he had lost his appetite.

Kisa sat by the window in the room and could not wait to pick up the photo album. Once again, she turned the page to the photo of her mother and Damon Kooper. In the photo, her mother held Damon's arm as she smiled brightly. 'I guess Mom must've really liked Damon back then.' She continued to flip the pages, but Damon no longer appeared in the photos. There was another man, though. Kisa quickly flipped through the album and saw that almost all the following photos were of her mother and the other man. 'He looks familiar. It's almost as if I've seen him somewhere before.' Kisa thought about it carefully, and her heart skipped a beat when she realized...
