Chapter 804 Magical Messages

The house was filled with the smell of cigarette smoke. Her heart skipped a beat, wondering if Gilbert had been here or was here at this moment. Thinking of this, she could not wait to check the rooms without changing her shoes. But there was no one there. Not giving up, she went to the bathroom– there was still no sign of Gilbert. So she thought he must have left.

Kisa was disappointed and dropped onto the couch, staring blankly at the coffee table. She suddenly frowned and hurriedly sat up as she saw the ashtray on the coffee table full of cigarette butts. She remembered she had cleaned the ashtray, and Gilbert had not come over in the past few days, so it had always been clean. But now, it was filled to the brim, and two cigarette butts were still burning and billowing white smoke. So she knew Gilbert must have stayed here last night and just left–he must have waited for her for a long time.

She hurriedly took out her phone and wanted to call him. But just as she was about to do that, she spotted another thing out of the corner of her eye–an insulated tote bag. Out of curiosity, she opened it and found a thermos bowl. She took the lid off and was surprised to see chicken gnocchi soup. The bag and thermos bowl were so effective that the chicken gnocchi soup was still warm. She quickly took a couple of sips, and the taste was so familiar, instantly reminding her of the early memories of her youth. Her heart was warmed. She put the phone aside. While drinking the chicken gnocchi soup, she called Gilbert.

Meanwhile, Davian was waiting for the traffic light when Gilbert’s phone rang. He could not help but glance at Gilbert, who was leaning against the car window with his eyes closed as if he was asleep. He was holding his phone with his hand on his lap. The phone screen was facing upward, so Davian could clearly see Kisa’s name. ‘It is Mrs. Kooper calling! Hasn’t Mr. Kooper been waiting for a call from his wife?” He pursed his lips and thought of alerting Gilbert but was afraid of disturbing him. He was in a dilemma for a long time and finally did nothing.

The phone rang for a while before it stopped.

Davian grimaced regretfully when Gilbert suddenly half–opened his eyes, staring at the dimmed cell phone screen. Davian was shocked. ‘Phew! I didn’t know that Mr. Kooper had heard the ringing just now. It turned out that he just did not want to answer it. Fortunately, I didn’t act like a busybody.’

After the ringing stopped, Gilbert’s phone softly buzzed as if it had received a message. Gilbert half– raised his arm tapped on the phone and took a look, then the gloom on his face vanished.

Davian looked on with mouth agape.

Gilbert put away his phone and said casually, “Are you trying to block the road?”

Davian returned to his senses and looked up, only to see that the traffic light had long since turned green, with the cars behind blaring their horns. He quickly started the car but still felt incredulous and curious. What kind of message could instantly make Mr. Kooper feel better? He never batted an eyelid even when he looked at the dollar figures after earning tons of money back then.‘

Kisa finished the chicken gnocchi soup and picked up her phone. She had sent that message long ago, but Gilbert had not replied. She grimaced, frustrated by Gilbert’s fiendish temper. ‘Forget it, no more coaxing him,‘ she said in her mind. She put down her phone and went straight to her room to sleep.

The next day, fearing Kisa’s retaliation, Sharon called Carolyn and Christopher over.
