Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)
Chapter 1000

Chapter 1000 You're Finally Home?

Kisa strolled about for a long time before finally hailing a cab home.

When she arrived at the Kooper residence, it was already ten o'clock at night.

Madalyn and the children had gone to sleep long ago.

Kisa stood in the courtyard and looked around. The house was pitch black, so she was unsure if they had locked the gate in the courtyard.

'If the courtyard's gate is locked, I'll go back to my own place,' she thought.

She reached out and pushed the gate, and it actually opened with a single push.

It turned out the gate in the courtyard was ajar.

She quietly walked into the courtyard and scanned the area.

'Gilbert's cars are all here, so he must be home,' she thought.

Kisa turned around and locked the door. Then, she started walking toward the door.

The door was also ajar as if someone had left it open for her on purpose.

Kisa did not think much about it and tip-toed into the house.

It was pitch black inside, so Kisa switched on the flashlight on her phone. Then, she looked around the house with her phone's flashlight. When Kisa saw that there was not a single person in the living room, only then did she walk upstairs with the light from her phone.

Due to the fear of waking the children, Kisa's footsteps were quiet.

The hallway was carpeted, so there was barely any sound when she tip-toed around.

Kisa opened the door of her room and was startled by the darkness.

'How strange. Weren't Gilbert's cars all in the courtyard? Where did he go?' Kisa thought puzzledly.

Then, she locked the door behind her.

Just as she fumbled for the light switch, a pair of hands suddenly landed on her

waist.

Kisa was startled. Before she could speak, she suddenly felt a warm, familiar breath by her ear.

"You're finally home?" the man asked hoarsely.

He reeked of alcohol and anger.

Kisa regained her composure and smiled at him awkwardly. "Why didn't you switch on the lights when you're in here?"

The man did not respond and continued gripping her tightly.

Kisa struggled slightly. Then, she smiled, "Let go of me. I'll go switch on the lights."

The man remained unmoving.

Kisa said in resignation, "Be good and let me switch on the light. I have something I want to give you."

The woman's tone softened and had a hint of ingratiation.

The man finally released her.

Kisa could not help but let out a sigh of relief when the tight grip on her waist loosened.

She felt around the walls and switched on the lights.

In an instant, the room was bright.

She turned to face the man. However, the man was looking at her gloomily. There was even a hint of redness in his dark eyes. He was furious and looked as if he was about to swallow her whole. Kisa felt a little shocked.

'Sigh. Look at how furious he is. I can't imagine how ruthless he'll be if he replaces out that I got close to him because I wanted to take my revenge. He'll probably kill me with his own hands when that happens,' she thought.

Kisa suppressed her cluttered thoughts and forced a happy smile. "It's late. Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Gilbert turned around. He walked to the chair beside the window and sat down.

"My wife was having dinner with another man. Do you think, as a man, I'd be able to fall asleep?" he sneered sardonically.

Then, he snorted icily and glared at her viciously. "What's the matter? Does food taste better when you're eating with that man?"

Kisa frowned.

'Why is he speaking as if I'm having an affair behind his back?' she thought.

Kisa kept a smile on her face. Then, she walked over to him with a gift in her hands.

"Alright, don't be mad anymore. Look what I bought you?"

Kisa's smile was flirty as she leaned into his arms purposefully. While holding the gift box, she extended her arms to him as if she was presenting a treasure.

However, the man was still angry. He waved his hand and promptly flung the box to the ground.
