Chapter 406 A Terrifying Shadow

At this moment, the sound of water suddenly came from the bathroom, and Gilbert breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked to the bathroom. As he looked on solemnly at the door, his long fingers brushing gently against the door handle.

A moment later, he leaned against a wall and lit a cigarette. When he finished the cigarette, the sound in the bathroom gradually stopped as well.

Gilbert looked down at his toes, and his thoughts went back to their first night together.

“It hurts…”

“Kisa, relax…. Yes, just like that…”

Although he knew Kisa had set him up for that night, he still treated her like she was a treasure and gave him all of his gentleness and patience. While, she, too, still remembered the tenderness that night.

As the memories of the past swirled in his mind, that scene of that night appeared in his mind.

A self–deprecating smile then appeared at the corners of his lips. ‘That night, her eyes were deep as she looked at him and played along with me. Did she take me for Jensen?‘

He snuffed out the cigarette butt, and a look of resentment appeared between his brows.

The bathroom door opened.

Kisa then walked out of it dressed in her bathrobe.

Gilbert saw her delicate ankles and the scars from the scratches caused by the branch of her calf.

His gaze turned gloomy as he wanted to grab her.

Yet, the woman seemingly did not see him as she walked straight to her room. His fingers only managed to touch the corner of her robe.

Gilbert watched as the woman walked back to her room and closed the door behind her.

He let out a bitter snort before putting his hand away. ‘She’s totally ignoring me now, huh.‘ He straightened himself up and went outside.

Hearing the sound of the main gate outside opening, Kisa slowly walked over to the window.

Soon, the man walked out of the building.

She quietly watched as he drove away, with no expression on her face. It was only until the car had disappeared into the night did she turn around and lay on her bed.

Kisa did not know whether it was because she did not have dinner or because she was caught in the rain, she felt weak. She lay groggily on the bed but did not manage a sound sleep. She felt so cold even when under the quilt, but her body was clearly very hot.

Kisa curled up in the blanket, lucid at times, in a daze at times. When she was in a daze, she felt like she was dreaming as countless images appeared in her mind. Some were happy, some were painful, some were bitter, but there were no sweet ones.

When she woke up again, she looked at the darkness before her as an inexplicable fear gripped her heart. She pulled the quilt tight as cold sweat broke out all over her body.

Suddenly, someone opened her door.
