Chapter 818 Leave The Door Open For Him At Night

"Weren't you angry? I couldn't finish my sentence that early morning before you hung up my call. Then I sent a message to you, yet you still didn't reply. You even purposedly let grandma pick it up when I gave you a call?" Her voice held a little resentment.

Gilbert explained himself in an unusually good temperament, "I fell asleep that day. I didn't purposely not pick up your calls. Besides, I didn't hang up your call. After all, I was mad because I cared too much for you."

Kisa felt her heart sweeten as the smile on her face did not stop. Turns out the feeling of being pampered and sweet-talked by him felt very nice.

She finally stopped teasing him and chuckled, "Alright, I understand. You don't need to explain."

Pausing for a bit, Kisa looked at the gleaming sunshine out her windows before

asking hesitantly, "You... Do you want to come over to my place, or maybe we meet up somewhere...?"

"I'm afraid. It's not possible," Kisa's sentence could not finish as Gilbert immediately answered back in disappointment.

Kisa's cheeks flushed hot in a flash. It almost felt that she was taking the initiative to confess or proclaim her feelings of yearning for him and then was cruelly rejected by

a man.

She immediately answered, “Then it's fine. You should get some rest, okay? I'm going to sleep too. I have to attend an event tonight."

"No, wait up..." It seemed that he heard the disappointment and anger in her tone. Gilbert hurriedly explained, "Of course I really want to meet up with you now. I wish that I could stick to you at all times. However, grandma sent a person to follow me by my side."

When Kisa heard the first half of his sentence, she chuckled secretly at Gilbert's speech grew more and more cheesy. When hearing the latter part of his sentence, her expression turned somber, and she furrowed her eyebrows.

"You are saying that Madam Kooper Sr. sent someone to monitor you?" Kisa guessed.

Gilbert agreed with her, "It seems that way, so I still cannot go and see you now to avoid being found out by Grandma."

Kisa nodded her head, "It's fine. We will get a chance to meet up again later."

"You're... not angry?"

Kisa laughed hilariously, "What is there to be angry about? Aren't we treating this as if it's an affair just to please Madam Kooper Sr.?

"What affair? We are legitimate husband and wife!" Gilbert corrected her with a harsh

tone.

Kisa was tickled funny by the severe and stubborn tone in his voice. She nodded her head and said, "Mhm, husband and wife that can never see the daylight!"

Gilbert's face grew more and more stormy. He shouted at the phone in frustration," Look at you. Always using these unpleasant words."

Kisa snickered, "That's because the level of education I received is limited. Hence, I can't think of the right words."

Gilbert suddenly stopped speaking. Kisa spoke jokingly, "That's alright, that's alright. I'll stop teasing you. You must be tired too, rushing here from Calthon. Rest for a bit," Kisa said while preparing to hang up the call.

Who knew Gilbert would suddenly ask this question seriously, "Do you want to meet up tonight?"

Kisa was stunned. After a moment, she held the phone and said tactfully, "Let's forget about it. What if..."

"As long as you wish it, I'll try to think of a way."

"Then do you want to meet up?" Kisa asked him back.

Gilbert answered back without much thought, "Of course, I want to. I just said I

wanted to see you."

"But I still need to attend an event tonight."

"No worries, I will attend it tonight too."

"You?"

"After the event ends, remember to leave the door open for me when you come back, "Gilbert said with a hint of dubiousness. Kisa's face turned red, and she ignored him. "It's a promise then," Gilbert laughed mischievously as he hung up the phone.

Kisa looked at the dimmed phone screen, silently cursing herself for being a good-for- nothing.

'It's just leaving the door open. What are you being all shy and embarrassed for?' Kisa thought to herself.

The charity ball started in the evening at eight, and Kisa and Lea departed at half

past seven.
