Chapter 420 Let’s Pretend Today is Just a Dream

Gilbert nodded and started the car straight away.

Kisa held the newly bought phone and felt strange and unbelievable, wondering why she and Gilbert could spend the afternoon shopping together with no problems considering the longstanding feud between them. What she felt even more incredible was that she even picked out clothes for Gilbert and he bought her a cell phone. She shook her head and thought, ‘Forget it. It is just for today. I will forget all the hatred today, but tomorrow we will still be enemies.‘

Gilbert saw her remain silent in the car for a long while and could not help but ask, “Something bothers you? Or are you tired?”

Kisa shook her head, staring at the new phone in her hand, and said, “I will pay you back for the clothes I picked out for the three children and the money for the phone when I get back.”

Gilbert frowned instantly. ‘Why does she have to be so antagonistic?‘ He gripped the steering wheel tightly and said nothing.

Kisa ignored him again, just bending her head and fiddling with her new phone. Just then, she suddenly saw a familiar–looking phone sitting on the central console next to her. She took the phone and looked at it, then at her own phone. They were the same brand, the same model, and the same color. She looked up involuntarily at Gilbert. “How come your phone looks exactly like my new phone?”

“Huh? Is that so?” Gilbert looked surprised. “I didn’t realize it. But you picked that phone out yourself, so I guess we have the same taste.”

Kisa had no words. ‘Screw that latest model. He has used this phone for who–knows–how–long.‘ She thought it was normal to use the same phone as everyone else, but using the same thing as this man

just made her sick to her stomach. Especially since he was the one who bought it. She leaned against the car window and looked at the man’s perfect side face broodingly without saying a word.

But Gilbert was enjoying her stare. He drove the car and maintained a very sensible speed, all the while keeping a straight face.

When they arrived at school, it was five minutes before the end of the school day. Gilbert did not get out of the car, but just leaned back and waited quietly. After a while, he said to Kisa, “Let’s go in together and pick them up later. I think they will be very happy.”

The man’s face was filled with fatherly tenderness as he thought of the two children’s happy faces. It confused her every time she saw this. ‘To say that he doesn’t deserve to be a father, but he really loves his two children. To say that he is a good father, but he could bring himself to kill his own child. So in the end, it is just a matter of like and dislike.”

As her mind was drifting away, Gilbert suddenly asked, “What would you like for dinner? We will take the children out.” His voice was gentle and natural, with none of his usual poignancy.

Kisa lowered her eyes and said faintly, “Whatever you want.”

Gilbert took out his phone and browsed through it, then smiled. “There is a nice restaurant. I will take you guys to try it later.”

She felt him odd today, but she dismissed it as a dream in which they had forgotten their differences and were a normal pair rather than giving it any further thought. With this mind, she felt more at ease. After all the other children had left, Kisa got out of the car and followed Gilbert into the school.
