Chapter 1459

As Kisa reached for the tie on Gilbert’s sleeping robe, he instantly grabbed her delicate wrist with an iron grip Perplexed, Kisa looked up and met his cold, sneering gaze “Isn’t this what you wanted?” she asked, confused

“I do want it, but I don’t like coercion Your pathetic attempt at forcing it makes me sick, Gilbert retorted

Kisa’s body tensed up, a sharp pain stabbing at her heart. She bit her lip and remained silent. fearing that speaking up would cause her emotions to spill over.

Gilbert broke away from her grasp and strode toward the window, throwing it open and lighting at cigarette with a sharp inhale. He seemed to be releasing some pent-up frustration through his smoking

Meanwhile, Kisa buried herself under the covers, fighting against her swirling thoughts. Once Adrien’s affairs are settled, he’ll understand my true intentions

After smoking three cigarettes at the window, Gilbert finally returned to bed. Perhaps because of the wind, the smell of cigarette smoke was subtle, but his presence was distant and cold, as if he was pushing her away

There was a large empty space between them, and Kisa cautiously moved closer and hugged him from behind. He did not react, and Kisa was silent for a while before she spoke up.

“Gilbert, are we really going to Oceanville in three days?”

“Yeah,” Gilbert replied, his voice monotone and icy. “But don’t even think about pulling any tricks. Otherwise-

“What kind of tricks could I pull?” Kisa interrupted, not wanting to hear his harsh words. “I just want to find your uncle, David. If we can find him, maybe we can understand the grudges of the previous generation. Once we know what is going on, we can figure out a way to clear up your grandma’s misunderstanding of me, can’t we?” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Gilbert stayed silent, his back facing her and his demeanor cold and distant.

Kisa let out a frustrated sigh. “Ah, forget it. Let’s just get some rest. You barely slept last night.” She rested her head on his back, a million thoughts running through her mind.

She did not want to stress about what the future held, but the Adrien situation needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Out of nowhere, Gilbert broke the silence. “Why do you even give a damn about changing my grandma’s opinion of you? Is it really that important to you?”

Kisa was caught off guard for a moment, but she quickly bounced back with a smile, “Duh, I care. Your grandma means the world to you, and if I can get her to like me, then we can finally be together without any drama, right?”

“Pfft,” Gilbert snorted, cutting off any further conversation.

Kisa clenched her jaw and fell silent. Later that night, while Gilbert was sound asleep, she tiptoed to the study.

She had to expose Adrien’s true motives, but in order to do that, she needed to get Gilbert to lose his GK status as soon as possible. Only then would she be able to uncover why Adrien had it out for her and Gilbert.

As she entered the room and approached the safe, she had no clue that a pair of menacing eyes had been watching her every move since she left the bed.

Kisa quickly punched in the combination, which was still the same. But when she opened the safe, she was shocked to see that there were a bunch of new files inside.

Did Gilbert put these here today? Did he catch onto me? He is smart, he must have, right? But then why hasn’t he changed the combination? And why is it still set to my birthday?”

Kisa shook off her suspicions and swiftly made copies of the files before locking the safe and returning to her room.

But when she got there, something completely unexpected stopped her in her tracks
