Reborn Through Fire novel Chapter 1483

Chapter 1483

Kisa’s body jolted, and she instinctively sat up straight.

Peter grinned and dropped his gaze.

"He said he had been just as desperate as me once upon a time, but he ended up with absolutely nothing."

He flicked the ash off his cigarette and looked at Kisa.

"So, do you still carry a torch for him?"

Kisa pursed her lips.

"He is the only man I have ever loved."

"Uh-huh, his predicament is totally different from mine. At least you love him. But Jolina..."

Peter's lips curved into a self-deprecating and bitter smile.

"What's the point of clinging on? I'm scared she'll end up dead. Gilbert told me you almost died in front of him once, and that was the most terrifying moment of his life. If Jolina dies, I don't think I'd be able to keep on living. So, I need to let go. I still want her to have a good life."

Peter's voice was laced with discontent and helplessness.

Kisa felt a pang of sadness listening to Peter's words. She tried to reassure him.

"Don't think of it that way. It's just that your way of loving her is too extreme, and she can’t handle it. Maybe she doesn't

dislike you as much as you think."

Peter chuckled wryly and looked down.

"I'm well aware of what she feels for me. The man she fancies has always been someone else. A bright and wholesome dude, irreplaceable in her heart."

Kisa suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then she asked," What about Gilbert?"

"After he talked me down last night, he took off from the Webb residence."

Kisa calmly said, "Don't jump to conclusions. The person who broke into the Tanner residence can't be Gilbert."

Peter chuckled lightly. "You don't have to be on guard with me. I won't tell anyone about this. But for you, it's better if you don't go to the Tanner residence and avoid arousing suspicion."

Kisa looked down.

'Peter's right. If I go to the Tanner residence now, it'd be like walking into a trap. If Adrien becomes suspicious of me, all my disguise and everything I've done to Gilbert would have been in vain. Adrien and Peter have always been close, so it's best if Peter goes to investigate. But can I trust him?'

The cigarette burned out. Peter stubbed it out and stood up.

"Actually, I'm not helping you. I also want to know what Uncle Adrien is up to. He seems to have been executing a plan ever since our time in Calthon."

Kisa said nothing. At this point, she had no choice but to trust Peter.

Peter took a few steps outside, then turned to look at her.

"Did your mother love you?"
