Chapter 742 Having a Cold War
“You’re always like this. Every time something happens, you always fight tooth and nail to question me like this. Do you give even the slightest respect to me?”
“You said you misunderstood me before and that you’d make it up to me. Heh, is this the ‘making up‘ you were talking about? There’s so much damage and hate between the both of us. We were not meant to be together again.”
“Even though your suspicions about setting up the fire are gone, it doesn’t mean I completely forgive you. The most I can do is not hate you. Truthfully speaking, our marriage had no meaning from the very start. You have no right to pretend to care about me now or to question me here!” Kisa cried and screamed at him. Her heart was filled with grievance and hate.
Gilbert stared at her closely. She wasn’t sure if it was due to him listening to it and feeling guilty in his heart or something else, but the arm holding her down slowly let go of her. After being released, Kisa immediately slid down along the icy cold wall.
She sat on the floor flustered and cried while holding onto her knees without care. She honestly did not know what she had done to offend this man. This man always fought tooth and nail with her. His so– called gentleness and care were according to his whims, and his attitude toward her was just based on his mood. If his mood was good, he would treat her with all smiles, gentleness, and care. If his mood was bad, he would ruthlessly try to cause her demise.
As she thought about it, a wave of grief and sorrow overwhelmed her heart.
‘What am I to Gilbert in his heart?‘ she wondered.
She was afraid that she was nothing more than a pet to him. She was stricken with grief and felt wronged, but what she did not realize was that the mood of the man beside her was based on her own attitude toward him.
Gilbert lowered his gaze to stare at her for a while. Then, he bent down his figure to sit beside her. He looked at the shadows cast by the streetlights and did not speak for some time. The woman beside him continued to cry. He wanted to comfort her but did not know how to, so he just sat quietly beside her.
Sometimes, people would walk through the door. They all looked at them with funny gazes, but all glared back at Gilbert harshly. After an unknown amount of time, her cries slowly grew smaller. After a while, the cries slowly turned into small bursts of sobs. Gilbert looked at him from the corner of his eyes. Enduring for a moment, he spoke to her,” Kisa…”
She did not respond. Thinking that she was still be angry with him, Gilbert sighed and continued to stare in a daze at the streetlights not far away.
After another long while, the woman beside him ultimately made no sound. He could not help but scrunch his brows and yell at her,” Kisa?”
She still did not make a sound. Gilbert frustratingly furrowed his brows and apologized stiffly,” It was my fault just now. I apologize to you. That should be good enough, no?”
She still did not make any reaction. Gilbert completely lost his patience and gave a low growl, “Even with all that talk, in the end you were still on guard against me and treated me as an outsider. You didn’t want me to follow along when inviting Jensen to a meal, that’s why I got angry. It was your fault, and you feel wronged?‘
Despite how he growled angrily, she would just bury her face in her knees and make no response. He cursed out loud and stood up to smoke at the side. Due to his anger having nowhere to vent, he bit the
cigarette and smoked harder. As if the cigarette he was biting was Kisa’s lips and neck.
He had a hand in his pocket while his back was against the pillar under the roof. His eyes stared forward angrily. The single cigarette was finished quickly.
He put out the cigarette butt forcefully, then turned his head to look at her. But he found out she was still in the same position, not moving. He immediately laughed out of anger. ‘
‘Is she insisting on having a cold war with me?‘ he thought.
He took a large stride toward her.
