Chapter 676 Men Are Also Fastidious

“Are you going to spend the night outside the door?” Kisa asked, reaching for her backpack.

Gilbert avoided her hand and came in with the backpack anyway.

Kisa took a look at the doorway. Feeling nothing unusual, she closed the door. She always felt insured while being outside. After closing the door, she bolted it. When she turned around, she saw Gilbert fanning his nose with his hand, looking disgusted.

Kisa grimaced with disdain. “You should really experience life in a lower–middle class neighborhood, preferably the slum.”

Gilbert smiled. “I can also endure hardship. I just can’t stand this smell.”

‘Heh! All said and done. He is just being fastidious.‘ The room’s windows were open, and the heating system warmed up the room. Kisa did not want to talk to him anymore. She just wanted to take a shower and lie under the covers. Besides, she had a pang of discomfort in her stomach, perhaps from eating something dirty. She carried her backpack and headed for the bathroom.

Gilbert looked at the takeout menu in his hand and asked, “What do you want to eat? I will order takeout.”

“I don’t want to eat anything.” Her stomach was bloated so much that she could not eat, yet she had eaten nothing. After taking a hot shower, her stomach felt more comfortable, and she did not feel as tired as before. When she came out of the bathroom, the windows in the room had been closed, and the room was warm. She did not feel cold even though she was just wearing a winter sleeping gown. Gilbert was sitting on the couch, studying the takeout menu. She went over to him and asked, “Don’t you think the musty smell is offensive? Why did you close the windows?”

“That smell isn’t that noticeable after sitting in here for a while.” He handed her the takeout order menu. “I have ordered a light meal for you. See what else you want.”

“Didn’t I say that there’s no need?”

“Eat something, at least. We have to travel tomorrow. Besides, the village is remote, and there might not be a town along the way. If you don’t eat now, there will be nothing to eat later when you are hungry.”

Kisa thought Gilbert had a point. So she looked at the

takeaway menu with her eyes downcast. She found that there were a variety of snacks available, so she ordered some, planning to take them with her on the road tomorrow.

The order had been placed, and they both waited for the delivery. No one was talking, and the atmosphere in the suite became awkward and boring. Seeing the TV remote control on the coffee table, Kisa picked it up and turned it on. She tuned in to a random channel just so that there was sound to make the atmosphere less awkward, but she tuned in to a children’s channel now airing Barney and Friends.

Gilbert glanced at her and snickered. “How old are you?”

“Who says this is only for children?” Kisa said expressionlessly.

“Okay, you won.” Gilbert shook his head in amusement.

Kisa said nothing. She just felt that since the Kerrona Hill incident, Gilbert’s temper had changed for the better, and he was treating her so well now that she could not be used to it. She thought he had probably been touched because she had saved him from the cave. But upon pondering about it, she found it was unlikely the case; she used to love him so much, with all her heart and mind, but he had

never been moved. So she wondered why he would be moved this time. Just when she was still deep in thought, Gilbert suddenly grabbed her hand.
