Chapter 526 I’ll Pay You Back

It shocked Kisa for a moment. ‘W-What happened?‘ She hurriedly looked around and found a dressing mirror over by the closet. She couldn’t care less about the pain in her ankle and hurried over to the mirror. When she saw herself in the mirror, she shrieked in fright. ‘Who did this? Who made my face look like this?‘ The makeup of the woman in the mirror was crude and garish, and because after sleeping all night, that makeup looked even messy. Gilbert didn’t see me like this, did he?‘

Biting her lip in embarrassment, she turned around and rushed into the bathroom. It was a mess inside, where the pieces of shattered mirror were all over the floor and toiletries on the countertop were strewn on the floor. She searched the floor before finding a face wash in the corner. She hurriedly scrubbed her face several times with the face wash and then ran to the dressing mirror again. Looking at the clean face in the mirror, she sighed with relief. She looked at her body again; she was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.‘ Gilbert must have left me in this room alone. Good! It would have been super embarrassing had he bathed and helped me get changed last night.‘

The villa was quiet, and she did not know if Gilbert was there, and she hoped he was not. Otherwise, she would not know how to face him. She sorted her hair and clothes, then dragged her painful ankle downstairs. When she came to the living room, she saw Gilbert sitting at the dining table with his back to her. She pursed her lips and hesitated for a long while before walking over to him.

He was still wearing his sleeping robe. There were a few dishes on the table, as well as two bowls of soup, all packed in boxes, which should be the takeaway he ordered. Gilbert ate silently, as if he did not see her. She thought for a moment and asked tentatively, “T- That bathroom… Did I do that?”

“There is only you and me in this house. You were drunk last night. Tell me who did that.” His answer was obvious.

Kisa struggled internally for a moment and said, “Don’t worry. I will pay you for the things I have broken.”

Gilbert did not even bat an eyelid. “Whatever,” he replied indifferently.

Kisa lowered her eyes and stared at the two bowls of soup on the table, and could not help but lick her lips. She was not hungry, but she just wanted to drink those two bowls of soup, and maybe eat something light. Especially since she was dehydrated now.

Perhaps sensing her gaze on the food, Gilbert looked at her expressionlessly, “Sit down and eat if you want.” His voice still sounded distant.

Kisa licked her dry lips once again. “It is okay. I’m not hungry.”

“Suit yourself.” Again, he said coldly and continued his meal with his head lowered. But after only taking two bites, he suddenly put down the cutlery and cleaned up the food on novelbin

the table.

Kisa saw him dump all those leftovers into the trash, including the two bowls of soup. She stood holding the edge of the table, feeling bad. Since she had stabbed him that day, he had indeed become more indifferent toward her.

After Gilbert cleared the table, he looked up at her and said in a faint voice, “Davian saw you being harassed on the street last night. He rescued you and put you in my car. You were so drunk that I was worried you would scare Andrew and Ada, so I brought you over here. Since you are sober now, you can now leave.”

He spoke to her as if he was talking to a stranger. Kisa could not describe her feelings right now. She should obviously hate him, but facing the man and his attitude, her hatred suddenly lost its strength,

seemingly powerless. She said nothing, turned around, and limped outside the house.

The Sandy Bay was so remote that it was almost impossible to get a taxi. She had no choice but to drag her aching ankle along, taking one step at a time. She did not want him to give her a ride.

Gilbert’s eyes swept over her injured ankle. He leaned on the edge of the table and lit a cigarette, then took a drag and puffed out a ring of smoke.
