Reborn Through Fire novel Chapter 1494

Chapter 1494

Adult affairs could be a real head-scratcher, and little ones just could not wrap their minds around it. Kisa did not utter a word. She just wanted to dash up and check on Madalyn. But those rug rats would not budge.

In their eyes, she was public enemy number one. She gritted her teeth against the bitterness in her heart, gazing at the children as her vision started to blur.

Just then, Gilbert made his way downstairs, with Kelvin tailing him. His face was still pale, but his furrowed brow spoke volumes about his frustration and exhaustion.

Kisa took a deep breath and hustled over. "How's your grandma doing?”

Gilbert said not a word. Kelvin answered in a flat tone, "Not great, especially considering her age."

"I'll go check on her," Kisa said, ready to charge upstairs, but Gilbert grabbed her arm.

He glared at her with cold eyes. "Don't go up there and stir things up again."

Kisa's heart skipped a beat, but she kept her trap shut.

Gilbert let her go and added with little emotion, "You won't be staying here tonight."

"Fine." Kisa choked up, turned around, and hightailed it out.

Blake tried to follow her out. "Ma'am, I'll come with you."

Kisa shook her head, caressed his cheek, and mustered a weak smile." Stay here with Andrew and Ada. I will be back in a few days."

"Ma'am..."

"Be a good boy. Listen to me." She looked at Andrew and Ada before making her exit. The two children could not help but tear up as they watched her go, but their anger kept them rooted in place.

Ada grabbed Gilbert's hand and wailed. "Daddy, why did Ma'am want to hurt you?"

Watching that silhouette vanish into the night, Gilbert finally tore his gaze away. He looked at Ada, his expression grave, and said, "Ma'am didn't do anything to hurt me, sweetheart."

Kelvin glanced at him and shook his head. "A guy who is trapped in love is totally hopeless."

As a drink flew straight at her face, Sharon stumbled to her feet, looking like a hot mess.

She screamed at the woman in front of her, "You’ve got to be out of your damn mind! You got a death wish, huh?"

Carolyn quickly grabbed Sharon, wiped the booze from her face, and cussed out Kisa.

Adrien watched the drama unfold for a moment before casually asking," What's going on here?"

Kisa hurried over to Adrien, looking wronged and sad. "I've been buttering up Gilbert this whole time, trying to gain his trust, and now this idiot has messed everything up."

"You..." Sharon fumed, but Carolyn held her back.

Adrien chuckled and turned to Kisa. "What's going on?"
