Chapter 693 Back to the Days When We First Got Married

Kisa was so tense that she dared not to move, but after Gilbert leaned over, he did not make another move, leaning against her. After a long while, she gradually eased up when he stayed lying just like that, and his breathing became shallow. She felt his body like a ball of fire, scorching her skin as his chest pressed against her back.

When she first came in, she still felt a little cold because the heating in the room was not on a higher setting. But now, she was feeling hot. She could not help but move closer to the edge of the bed. If she went further out, she would fall down the bed. It did not help that Gilbert followed her and moved closer to her as soon as she moved away.

Kisa had no words. She suspected he was pretending to be asleep. The air was still, and the only sound echoing in the room was the sound of breathing. She stared at the faint glow shining through the curtains for a while and gradually dozed off. When she was about to fall asleep, Gilbert suddenly muttered something.

“If those two jailers can prove that I had nothing to do with the prison fire, can you and I go back to the old days, back to the way it was when we were first married?”

Kisa instantly became awake. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the same dark curtains. She was thinking about what Gilbert had just said.

‘Back to the way it was when we were first married? But were they happy when they were first married? No, not at all. When we were first married, I tried all I could to please him, catered to his every preference, and waited for him to come home no matter how late it was. But how did he treat me? Other than hatred and being fed up with me, there was only humiliation. I will never want to go back to those heartbreaking and painful days.‘

While she thought, Gilbert suddenly said another sentence. “If we can go back to that time, I will definitely love and care for you, not let you endure half a bit of harm and wrong again.” His voice was so low that it sounded like he was sleep–talking, but the tone was so determined that it seemed like he was making some kind of important promise.

Kisa stared at the window where faint light was leaking through. She felt shocked as she found what he said too unbelievable. She did not know what was going on with Gilbert all this time. ‘Has he really fallen in love with me unknowingly? But when I tried so hard to be his wife and loved him with all my heart, he never felt moved in the slightest. Now when I don’t want to love and even hate him, he suddenly falls in love with me? If he loved me before, why would he send me to prison?‘ The thoughts lingered in her mind for a long while before turning into a soft sigh. She did not respond but slowly closed her eyes. She could not respond to the question he had just asked. All she could do now was just wait and see.

Perhaps the two days of travel had exhausted her, or maybe because she felt more at ease with someone beside her, she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

In the darkness, Gilbert slowly wrapped his hand around. her slim waist. He smiled for a while, and it was a bitter one. He knew she was not asleep just now but did not want to answer his question. He leaned closely against her back, resting his chin on the nape of her neck. Gilbert moved very gently, afraid of waking her up. The satisfaction of holding her like this was something he craved and missed.

The next day, Kisa kept struggling and shaking her head in her sleep. Suddenly, she felt someone stabbing her with a knife. She woke up with a shriek and bounced up on the bed.
