Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)
Chapter 997

Chapter 997 Healed Wounds and Forgotten Pain

The man promptly shoved Kisa angrily before she could finish her sentence.

Kisa stumbled a few steps back in a panic. Just as she found her balance, she saw the man angrily growl at her, "If you want to have dinner with him, then go. I won't stop you!"

Then, the man turned around and exited the set in a fit of

rage.

Peter smirked and chimed in. "Don't blame others when you can't satisfy your

woman! Why throw a tantrum?"

"Shut your mouth!" Kisa roared at Peter in annoyance.

When she turned around, Gilbert was no longer at the set's exit.

Kisa stared at the dark sky outside in a daze. She felt an inexplicable sense of guilt; it was a sense of guilt toward the man.

She quickly dismissed the strange emotion she felt.

'How funny. Gilbert is always the one hurting and lying to me. He has done so many things that let me down and even murdered my child, so why would I feel guilty toward him? Did him being nice to me for a few days heal my wounds and forget about the pain?' she wondered.

Kisa snorted self-depreciatingly. Then, she turned around and walked up to Peter." Didn't you say we're going to have dinner? Let's go!"

Peter crossed his arms and peered at her in amusement. "Speaking of which, I saw Gilbert's build. He has pretty good pecs, too, so why are you interested in my pecs?"

Kisa rolled her eyes at him.

'I can't use an ordinary person's mindset to figure out what this man is thinking,' she

thought.

Jolina stood beside them. She gazed at Kisa weirdly and said, "Kisa, you... And him..."

Then, she glanced at Peter incredulously. However, there was still disdain and contempt in her eyes.

Peter was furious when he saw Jolina's gaze.

He then put his arm around Kisa's shoulder. He coldly snorted at Jolina, "This woman really is much more proactive than you. I must've hit my head to be so hung up on you. Don't worry; I won't bother you again in the future, so you don't have to avoid me

like the plague!"

The man said while examining Jolina's expression, unblinking.

However, there was only relief and a hint of worry on Jolina's face.

Moreover, her worry was directed at Kisa.

She persuaded Kisa again. "He really isn't a good person, Kisa. I think you should stay

with Mr. Kooper. He's much better compared to this man."

"That's enough!" Peter was fed up. He growled, "Which f*cking part of me is incomparable to Gilbert Kooper? Why don't you tell me?"

Jolina pursed her lips and did not speak.

Peter roared, "Tell me!"

Kisa's eardrums were about to explode. She flung his hand aside, "Alright. Time to eat. I'm starving."

Then, she turned to Jolina and said with a smile, "Don't worry about me. I'm not interested in him. I have something I need to ask him.”

Peter snorted sardonically and took it as Kisa being in denial.

'Why would she touch my pecs in a daze if she isn't interested in me? Why else would she defend me time and time again in front of Gilbert?' he thought. "Let's go for dinner."

Peter glanced at Kisa without forgetting to glance at Jolina from the corner of his

eyes.

Seeing that, Kisa realized why Peter suddenly came to replace her. However, she did not expose him.

They went to a lavish and high-end restaurant.

Peter flung a menu at Kisa and generously said, "Order whatever you want!"

Kisa threw him a speechless look. A moment later, she opened the menu and ordered a few simple dishes.

Peter smoked while sitting in a sloppy posture. He had an irritated look in his eyes.

After Kisa finished ordering, she examined him carefully. She wanted to see if she could replace any clues related to her mother on him.

Perhaps Kisa made it too obvious when she was examining him, as Peter frowned immediately.

He snapped at her in annoyance.
