Chapter 609 You Were Not The Perpetrator Who Harmed Grandma

“You were not the one who hurt Grandma.” He repeated with an air of obstinacy and slight annoyance.

Kisa smiled dementedly. “Why am I not now? Didn’t you convict me of this crime in the first place? You grabbed my hand and forced me to sign that confession? Have you forgotten? Gilbert, you’re not trying to cheat me out of my feelings again, are you?”

“No,” Gilbert murmured. “I heard the conversation between Grandma and Sharon, and Sharon was the one who harmed Grandma.”

“Heh!” Kisa was shocked upon hearing that, but there was even more self–deprecation and sadness, all without a bit of happiness. “Gilbert, right from the beginning, I told you vociferously that I did not hurt your grandma. I even kneeled before you and begged you to believe me, but you didn’t. You only ever thought of me as a vicious woman. Back then, if you had believed me, maybe you wouldn’t have sent me to jail, and our child wouldn’t have died.”

“The child…” He almost made a Freudian slip, revealing

the fact that the child was alive. But when he thought she had used the child, he choked back on his words. The

child was his soft spot, and he was not unwilling to tell her that the child was still alive, afraid that she might use the child again, in which case, not only him but also the child would be hurt. He did not dare to take the slightest risk for the children’s sake. “I’m sorry,” he said at last.

It was the first time he apologized to her. Kisa sneered and said, “Who needs your apology? Can you erase all the harm you have done to me with just an apology? Gilbert, I tell you what, the most useless thing in this world is an apology.”

“Then what do you want from me? Yes, I have

misunderstood you about Grandma, but you clearly love Jensen in your heart. Why did you play with my feelings? It was you who played with my feelings first!” The thought that the person she really loved was Jensen drove him crazy with jealousy. When he discovered that she was not the one who harmed his grandmother several times, he wanted to find her to make it up to her. But once he thought that the person she loved was Jensen and that she loathed him to the core, making up to her sounded like a pathetic joke. So he tried hard to suppress his feelings, make himself treat her like a stranger, to forget about her. But he could not do it–he really could not.

When he saw that she was injured, he still could not help but worry. He was more anxious than anyone else when he saw her in danger. He could never be able to turn his back on her he could never do that.

“I want nothing from you.” Kisa laughed, her voice choked with sobs. “What else could I want from you? I don’t understand why you always think I love Jensen.

Her voice was full of sadness and helplessness.

Gilbert sneered, “Don’t you?”

“Of course not!”

“Then who is that?”

“It is…” Words suddenly stuck in her throat. She could

not possibly say she loved him to his face, as that would only make a fool of herself. Five years ago, she had failed. to warm his heart even though she loved him with all her heart. Now, she did not expect him to change his mind just because she could say, “The person I love is you“. The man’s once hard– heartedness toward her could never

turn into love. Even if he could, that was also because of guilt and restitution, which she disdained.

Seeing her suddenly stop talking, Gilbert suddenly chuckled. “Don’t worry. I will let nothing happen to you. Instead, I will let you live to see Jensen. So you don’t have

to pretend that the person you love is me.”
