Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)
Chapter 850

Chapter 850 He Gave In

"It's pure coincidence that Mr. Kooper and I were on the same flight. As for his new lover, she's very pretty, and they are a perfect match. I wish them all the best."

Gilbert's face darkened. 'She always does this. Even if it's just acting, she always puts her all into her speech. It's so annoying.'

"Mr. Kooper, do you have anything to say about your ex-wife's blessing to you and your new lover?"

"Oh, I would like to thank her for the blessing, and I wish her all the best with her future lover as well."

After he finished speaking, he took the woman beside him and strode out of the airport. The media reporters followed them like a swarm of bees in an instant. Maybe it was because the news about Gilbert's new lover was more interesting; none of the reporters stayed behind to interview Kisa.

Lea looked around the deserted place and said disappointingly, "I really thought they were here to welcome you home."

Kisa smiled, not caring about the situation.

"Kisa, who was that woman? Why is Mr. Kooper with her?" Lea suddenly asked.

"Who knows? That's his business, and I have no say in it."

Entertainment news always comes out fast. That same evening, the incident at the airport hit the headlines. The news about Gilbert's new lover was wildly spread across all major platforms. Each of the headlines was dramatic and eye-catching.

Kisa scrolled through the news articles, feeling that the media had exaggerated the whole thing. They wrote about how she, the ex-wife, was giving her blessing to Gilbert and his new love in tears. They even wrote that behind her blessing was a heart full of sorrow, but Kisa felt strongly otherwise.

'What the f*ck do they mean tears and sorrow? I obviously gave them my blessing with a smile.'

She threw her phone on the bed speechlessly.

'The news is so unreliable these days. Only the people involved would know the truth behind what really happened.'

Just as she was thinking about it, Gilbert called. She took her phone and sat comfortably on the chair before answering. "Thank you for your blessing at the airport today," Gilbert said in a deep, gloomy voice as soon as Kisa picked up.

"No, thank you for your blessing," Kisa laughed.

"Stop laughing!"

"Well, of course I'm laughing. I mean, you gave me your blessing too."

"Are you not mad that I brought another woman home today?"

"Didn't you say that she's just a friend? Why would I be mad?"

Gilbert was holding his phone while his other hand was holding a pen. He doodled in his notebook, annoyed that Kisa was not at all jealous.

Sensing that the man was angry, Kisa laughed and said, "You're so strange. When I get mad, you keep trying to coax me so that I stop being mad at you; but when I'm not mad, you seem disappointed and crossed. You're so hard to understand sometimes, Gilbert."

"Forget it. A heartless woman like you would never understand," Gilbert said and hung up the phone angrily.

'I don't know why, but he's in such a particularly irritable mood today,' Kisa thought.

She listened to the silence on the other end of the phone and said to herself, 'This man has quite the temper. If he wants to be angry, then so be it. I won't waste my time buttering him up.'

In the study, Gilbert looked at the darkened phone screen and suddenly regretted hanging up the phone. He picked up the phone, hesitating whether to call Kisa back. He then felt even more furious when he thought of how the woman never took the initiative to call and try to coax him, let alone be soft on him. He was even questioning whether Kisa really loved him. He stared at his phone for a long time, but the woman still did not call or send a text to him.

Annoyed, he tugged on the tie around his neck and called her again. He pursed his lips self-mockingly and thought, 'I'm always the one who gives in first.'

Suddenly, the door to the study was pushed open just after the call was made.
