Chapter 82 Thatâs Right, Iâm Up To Something Gilbert was leaning on the bed frame. He looked a lot more tired than the day before. His lips were chapped and his whole body seemed weak.
Kisa stood at the door for quite a while, waiting for him to chase her out. However, he just sat there quietly while looking down and reading the newspaper in hand. The atmosphere was awkward and depressing.
She had thought of leaving the room quietly but felt that it was too sudden to do so. So, she asked nonchalantly, âYou seem to be in good spirits today. You should be fine for the rest of the day, right?â
Gilbert raised his eyes and looked at her, âHeh. You came here early in the morning just to check if Iâm dead or not?â
All she wanted was for him to chase her out, so Kisa purposely provoked him, saying, âThatâs right. Too bad the heavens have not heard my wish. Theyâre still letting you breathe.â
Gilbertâs eyes narrowed fiercely, and his jaw tightened in anger. Kisa added, âIt seems like you donât want me here. Then, Iâll get lost before you get upset and make yourself even weaker.â
âHold it!â
At his growl, Kisa frowned. âWas that not enough to make him chase me out?â she wondered to herself.
âWere my words not spiteful enough?â She turned around, ready to annoy him even more, but he was looking at the breakfast on the coffee table. âThose were sent in by the servants,â said Gilbert. Kisa was stunned. She quickly came back to her senses and replied,â Iâm not hungry.â Gilbert laughed, âOh, donât flatter yourself. I wasnât offering it to you.â
âYouâ¦â
Kisa tried to hold back her anger. She walked over and brought the breakfast to his bedside.
Just then, Davian came in.
Kisa glanced at him and reacted quickly, holding up a bowl of porridge. âYouâre quite sick. Here, let me feed you.â she said to Gilbert in a gentle tone.
Gilbert stared at her in confusion.
On the other hand, Davian was pleased at what he saw. He told Gilbert, âMr. Kooper, Iâm glad to see that youâre in good spirits today. I can rest easy knowing that Mrs. Kooper is taking good care of you.
You should just take this time to rest and recover. There hasnât been much trouble in the company, except for the recent news. Iâll make sure to find out the truth and hold a press conference to clear things up.â
Gilbert was not listening. Instead, he was staring at Kisa with questions in his head. Kisa acted naturally and blew the hot porridge as if it was second nature. Davian looked at them both and smiled, âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll get going.â
After bidding them goodbye, he quickly left the room to avoid disturbing the lovely couple. Kisa scooped a spoonful of porridge. Just as she was about to feed him, Gilbert grabbed onto her wrist tightly. âYouâre treating me so kindly today. Youâre up to something, arenât you?â She had a strong urge to put the porridge aside and leave, but she had made a promise to Davian. She could only grit her teeth and get it over with.
At that point, she really wished he would chase her out of the room.
She replied with a sneer, âThatâs right, Iâm up to something. Youâd better not eat the porridge. Who knows, I mightâve added some extra flavoring inside to poison you.â
âWith this, Gilbert must be at the brink of chasing me out,â she thought to herself. But Gilbert only replied with a chuckle. Then, he pushed her hand toward his mouth and ate the spoonful of porridge slowly. âMmmâ¦tastes okay. Keep feeding me, letâs see if this porridge will really poison me to death or not.â âYouâ¦â
Kisa was confused. Usually, she did not have to say much, and Gilbert would tell her to get out of his sight.
But today, no matter how many insults she threw, Gilbert did not react.
She found this very strange.
At that moment, her phone rang and broke the silence.
She looked at the screen caller ID, and her eyes lit up in joy.
