Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 1450
Gilbert’s dark eyes glistened with a hint of coldness and self–mockery. He took a heavy drag of his cigarette and his lips curved
into a sad smile. In the video footage, Kisa made a copy of a document and put the original back in the safe. It was only when
she left the room that Gilbert finally looked away.
He tilted his head to the ceiling and a faint chuckle escaped his lips, filled with self–derision.
He knew that Kisa’s presence in the Kooper residence was to take him down, but he had foolishly believed that she would not be
so heartless. Now he had no choice but to face the truth.
He seemed like he could do nothing about it, and he was not even willing to put a stop to it. He was like a hopeless, dying man
waiting for her to finish him off.
Davian walked in with the takeout with snowflakes covering his shoulders.
Gilbert gazed at his shoulders and muttered, “It is snowing?”
“Yeah, it’s not heavy, but it is freezing out there.” Davian walked over as he brushed his shoulders.
He placed the takeout on the table and said, “Mr. Kooper, it’s getting colder these days. Why don’t you go back home? At least
there will be hot food and soup waiting for you.”
Davian opened the container and sighed, “It was still hot when I bought it, but now it is cold. You’ve been having stomach
problems lately. If this keeps up...”
“It’s fine, you can go now,” Gilbert interrupted, leaning back on the chair and closing his eyes.
Davian hesitated to speak, and he said nothing in the end. He knew Gilbert was mad at his wife, but nobody knew the reason.
They had been like this since they returned from Athadale, and even Kelvin, who accompanied them, had no idea what was
going on between them.
Davian pushed the food toward Gilbert and said, “Mr. Kooper, please eat it while it is still warm. I
will go now.”
Gilbert nodded without opening his eyes. Davian glanced at him one last time before leaving, feeling a bit sad inside.

After leaving the GK building, Davian could not resist sending a message to Kisa. Meanwhile, Kisa was holding a copy of a
document and contemplating her next move. Just then, she heard her phone buzz and quickly reached for it.
The message read, [Mr. Kooper has been having stomach aches lately. Maybe you could talk to him or something to convince
him to go back home. It’s freezing outside and he’s not eating properly.]
Kisa read the message with a pang of concern. She immediately put the document in her bag, changed into a new outfit, and
headed down to the kitchen. She cooked up a delicious soup and a few small dishes and packed them in a thermal container.
By the time she arrived at the GK building, it was almost 1.00 am. She sat in her car and looked up at the CEO’s office, which
was still lit up.
When she first saw Davian’s message, she was desperate to see Gilbert and rushed over as fast as she could. But now that she
was here, she hesitated. Gilbert had been distant with her lately, and she was not sure if he would be angry if she showed up
unannounced.
After a few minutes of hesitation, she got out of the car. She had brought food for him, after all, and she did not want it to go to
waste.
Kisa arrived at the CEO’s office and knocked on the door. Gilbert’s voice came from inside almost immediately. “Didn’t I tell you
to go home? What, did you decide to stay here with me?”
Kisa bit her lip and pushed open the door.
Gilbert opened his eyes slightly, and his handsome eyebrows furrowed deeply, though there was a hint of surprise in his gaze.
“Who told you to come?” he asked, his voice even colder than the winter night outside.
Kisa plastered on a smile. “I missed you, so I came to see you.”
