Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252 It’s Been a Long Time, Mr. Kooper

“You have the nerve to call me, you heartless brute!” The first thing Madalyn did was to scold her.

Kisa pursed her lips, ignored her abusive words, and asked politely, “Mrs. Kooper Sr., why didn’t I see you at the hotel?”

“Humph! One more look at you would have hurt my eyes. Do you think I would still ask you out? I warn you: don’t try to draw a wedge between Jensen and Gilbert.” Madalyn hung up the phone.

Kisa frowned. “The text message has clearly been sent from Madalyn’s number, but she has said she has not asked me out. And if this is Sharon’s conspiracy, then why was there no one in the room?‘

She looked around the room again to make sure there was nothing strange and then headed outside. She had many questions in her mind, but the good thing was that nothing happened to her. So she did not give it a second thought. Just before she reached the door, someone she knew suddenly blocked her way. Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously stepped back. The person who suddenly appeared in front of her was none other than Gilbert. This was the first time she had met him since she had recovered from her illness. Even after all this time and even though she had tried to change herself a lot, she was still scared when she saw this man again, she involuntarily wanting to run away.

Gilbert’s expression was still cold, without any hint of warmth when he looked at her. As he stepped closer to her, she stepped backward. The first time she met him after she was reborn, she found herself at a disadvantage. She hated herself for her weakness. ‘Why is it that in front of the Case family, I can be so light–hearted and confident, but in front of this man, I’m losing control?‘ As she backed up, the bend of her legs hit the edge of the bed, and she fell on the bed. The scene of him forcing himself on her and humiliating her last time came to mind. The thought of this made her shiver.

She opened her mouth and forced herself to speak calmly. “It has been a long time, Mr. Kooper.

TE

“Mr. Kooper?” This strange address almost made Gilbert mad. He hated her so much, enraged, wanting to crumple her up and hide her in his heart, so that everyone could not find and see

her.

“Aren’t you Mr. Kooper? We have already divorced. Otherwise, how else do you want me to address you?”

The smile of the woman in front of him was so detached that there was not even hate in her eyes. It was as if he was now just an irrelevant stranger to her. Gilbert clenched his hands at his side and stared at her sternly. “How lonely are you that you have to room with a random man at night? Couldn’t Jensen satisfy you?” The first thing he did was to humiliate her.

Kisa’s heart ached, but she was also extremely sad and furious. ‘He always thinks of me in such a terrible light, never in a good way.‘ She struggled to raise her smile and snorted at him. Yeah, I’m lonely and hooked up with random men. But what does this have to do with you, Mr. Kooper? Don’t you think it is ridiculous for you to make such an angry face at me?”

“B*tch!” Gilbert slammed her down on the bed, the hostility and anger in his eyes almost consuming her.

A brief flash of panic crossed her mind. Soon, however, the smile on her face grew more and more glaring. “What? Are you still trying to force yourself on me like last time?”
