Chapter 823 Became a Big-faced Monster

Gilbert stepped back and sat opposite Kisa. “Am I that scary?” He asked when he saw the terrified expression on her face.

Kisa patted her chest and said angrily, “No matter how handsome that face of yours is, it’s still going to be scary when you’re so close up in my face. Plus, all I saw when I opened my eyes was a huge face in front of me. Don’t tell me that’s not scary.”

The handsome guy was suddenly called a big–faced monster. Gilbert was speechless. Kisa took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat back on the sofa. She then picked up her phone on the side table and saw that it was already 2:00 a.m. She looked at the man in front of her and asked, “Didn’t you sleep?”

“I slept during the day, and now I can’t fall asleep.” As Gilbert said that, he gave Kisa a flirtatious smile. “Besides, I said I’d come to see you.”

Kisa did not see the flirtatious look on his face. She lowered her head and scrolled her phone, pretending to be unconcerned. Gilbert stared at her without blinking, enjoying the quiet time together. However, Kisa could not continue scrolling her phone, knowing that Gilbert was staring at her.

Suddenly, Kisa recalled that Madalyn had sent someone to spy on Gilbert, so she hurriedly asked, “Didn’t you say that grandma sent someone to stalk you? If you’re coming here, won’t

”

“Don’t worry. I have it all settled.”

Kisa was stunned. “What do you mean you ‘have it all settled‘?”

Gilbert smiled mysteriously. “I’ll tell you later. Or maybe… Kelvin would tell you.”

This statement made Kisa even more puzzled.

‘Since when was Kelvin involved in this?‘ she wondered

Gilbert did not say much about it. Instead, he took the band–aid he had just bought and walked toward Kisa. He had noticed the red and swollen scrape on the back of her hand. He opened the band–aid and carefully pasted it onto her injury. “Does it still

hurt?” He asked.

Kisa stared at him for a moment; she never thought this man could be so considerate, especially toward her. ‘This is so unreal. It feels like a dream.‘

Seeing that she had not spoken for a while, Gilbert could not help but look up at her. Kisa came back to her senses and quickly shook her head. “No, it doesn’t hurt

anymore. It’s just a small scratch. I’m not that dramatic,” she said as she tried to withdraw her hand; but Gilbert grabbed it and squeezed it tightly. “You’re not

melodramatic. No, not at all.”

“Oh, so when you didn’t care, I was pretentious and melodramatic no matter how big my injuries were. But now that you do care, I’m not those things anymore, no matter how much I whine about my minor injuries?”

Gilbert could not help but laugh when he heard those words. He patted her head and said, “What are you talking about? That’s so weird.”

“Nothing,” Kisa lowered her eyes and replied, thinking about the past.

Gilbert checked her hands to make sure that there were no other injuries and continued to ask, “Were you okay at the event just now?”

Kisa glanced at him and said, “You know about the thing that happened between Anthony and me?” She thought he had already left at that time because she could not find him. “I wouldn’t have called Mr. Mullen Sr. if I didn’t know about what

happened, would I?” Gilbert sneered. Kisa was, yet again, surprised. “You called Mr. Mullen Sr.? I thought you guys didn’t get along. Why would he listen to you and show up at the event?”

“I told him Anthony was flirting around with female celebrities at the charity ball and was making all sorts of trouble. The only way to stop Anthony from ruining the reputation of the Mullen family was for Mr. Mullen Sr. to go and get him out of there. Mr. Mullen Sr. is someone who cares a lot about their family name and reputation; so he rushed over as soon as he heard what I said.”

Kisa nodded knowingly since she wondered why Mr. Mullen Sr. would have suddenly appeared at the ball.

At that moment, an ill–timed sound rang out…
