Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 47

"Aaaaah!"

The man behind her screamed miserably and let go of her. Only then did she find the voice familiar.

"Mrs. Kooper, it is me. Why did you bite me?"

As the voice said, she looked back at it in fear, and it turned out that it was Davian.

"W-Why did you tie me up?" Kisa looked at him in puzzlement. Through the streetlight, she saw that Davian's hand was bleeding. Now she felt embarrassed and guilty. She was too scared just now, so she overreacted a bit.

Davian shook his bitten hand and said with a wronged look on his face, "You were just being followed. Hadn't I tied you up, they would have abducted you by now."

"How did you know I was being followed?" Kisa looked at him in surprise. 'Could he have been following her?'

Davian opened his mouth and was about to say something when Gilbert suddenly peeked out of the car window and hummed nonchalantly. "What is the point of all that nonsense? Get in the car."

Once she saw Gilbert was there, Kisa stopped saying anything. Davian hastened her when he saw she was not moving. "Get in the car, Mrs. Kooper. We will be in trouble if those people catch up with us."

Kisa hesitated for a long while before she got into the car. Sitting next to Gilbert, she was uneasy and adjusted her body to the side until she was sitting against the car door.

Gilbert gave her a sidelong glance and snorted. The atmosphere in the car was awkward.

Kisa rubbed her hands together and asked Davian, "By the way, you still haven't told me how you know I was being followed."

Davian was driving and was about to answer when Gilbert said, "We just happened to see it."

Davian smiled and shook his head, not making a sound.

Kisa pursed her lips and then said, "Oh, thank you, then."

"No need to thank me. If not for Andrew liking you, I wouldn't bother to save you."

Gilbert's unforgiving attitude pissed Kisa. 'Why did he have to make use of Andrew's name to save me?' She took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice, "You don't have to stress about it. It's not like I will think of something else."

Gilbert hissed.

Davian shook his head again, wondering why these two people could not talk nicely to each other.

Kisa exasperatedly rolled down the car window as she felt suffocated from sitting beside this man. Looking out the window at the unfamiliar street scene, a question suddenly came to mind.

"Where are we going now?"

"The hotel," Davian said.

Realizing that she had just bitten Davian, Kisa felt bad for it and politely said, "I'm staying at The Norch Hotel. Thank you for the ride." She wondered if Ariella had gotten back to the hotel safely.

Davian suddenly said with an awkward tone of voice, "Mrs. Kooper, we are not going to the hotel where you stay, but to the hotel where Mr. Kooper stays."

"What?" 'What is the point of going to the hotel where he stays? I still have to go to find Ariella!'

Seeing Kisa's reluctant expression, Gilbert snorted. "Get out of the car if you don't want to go."

Kisa gritted her teeth and shouted at Davian. "Stop the car."

The car stopped slowly at the roadside. Kisa was about to get out when Gilbert suddenly said, "Those guys didn't get you, and they will wait for you at the hotel where you're staying. No one will stop you if you want to turn yourself over to them."

Kisa gripped the door handle tightly and hesitated. This man was annoying, but he had a point.

Seeing that Kisa did not get out of the car, Davian started the car again.

Kisa secretly calmed her anger and said squarely, "Who is that group of people, and why do they want to come after Ariella?"
