Reborn Through Fire novel Chapter 21

Outside the Kooper residence, Lea kept rapping on the gate and shouting Gilbert's name.

No one responded to her. After an hour, some bodyguards came out to chase her away.

Lea cried out in despair. She should have known better that Gilbert, who hated Kisa and wanted her dead so much, would not save Kisa. It was whimsy to think that he would help. She regretted coming to beg that cold-blooded man.

Behind a window on the second floor, Sharon watched with a smug on her face as Lea went.

'She wants to save that woman? Heck! Dream on!'

Shortly after Lea had left, a can drove into the compound. George carefully carried Andrew, who had just been discharged from the hospital, into the house, with Ada following along.

As he came into the house, Sharon greeted him and said gently, "You can just leave Andrew to me."

"It is alright, Ms. Case. I will just carry him to his room." George avoided Sharon and headed upstairs.

Sharon narrowed her eyes. 'You old coot. I will kick you out of here when I become the lady of this house someday."

"Ma'am."

Hearing Ada's call, Sharon came out of her thoughts. She quickly hid the malicious look in her eyes away and replaced it with a gentle one.

"What is it, baby?"

"Don't call me baby. Only my daddy and mommy can call me that."

Sharon was embarrassed and felt jealousy and disgust. But she still smiled gently. "Fine, fine. I won't call you baby. I will just call you Ada. What's up?"

"Why are you here?"

"Your father asked me to take care of you guys."

"Oh! Then I will tell Daddy we don't need you here," said Ada before she went upstairs.

Sharon was exasperated, staring at Ada as she went.

Had she not thought that Gilbert would find a mother for his children and she was the most suitable candidate, she would not have let these two illegitimate children live. But what Sharon had not expected was that Gilbert would rather let these his children grow up in a single-parent home than marry her. She hated them to think of it.

"George, how many more days until Daddy gets back?" Ada was a little bored staying at Andrew's bedside.

"W-We have chased her away."

"Do you all know that the woman she was asking Mr. Kooper to save is Mrs. Kooper? You guys will have explanations to do when Mr. Kooper returns."

Ten days later, at the airport--

As soon as Gilbert stepped out of the airport, George came up to take his suitcase and said with concern, "Mr. Kooper, you must be exhausted. Let's go back and take a good rest."

Gilbert left the follow-up work to Davian and then followed George to the car.

Feeling drained, he kneaded his forehead and asked in a low voice, "Apart from Andrew's case, did anything else happen at home while I was away?"

George hesitated for a long while before he said, "A lady came to the house ten days ago and made a scene."

Gilbert said nothing.

George thought for a moment and continued. "She kept shouting your name, saying that Kisa was dying and asked you to save her."
