CHAPTER 527
Chapter 527 She’s the Woman You Love
“I will take Andrew and Ada back to the Kooper residence in a couple of days,” Gilbert said.
Kisa froze for a long while before saying in a faint voice, “Okay.” The two children should have gone back to the Kooper residence a long time ago. But remembering all the time she had spent with them together, she still felt sad at the thought of them leaving. She took a few breaths and inched outside, holding back the pain in her feet.
Gilbert looked at her slow and clumsy movement and was irritated. He took a drag and said coldly, “Why are you walking so slowly? Is it because you don’t feel like leaving?”
Kisa was agitated. But she still bit her lip and tried to walk faster. Her foot was almost kaput, but she just gritted her teeth and endured it, refraining from making a sound.
Gilbert felt even more upset and looked away from her when Kisa picked up her pace. Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of braking in the courtyard. He squinted and looked out. The Sandy Bay was a place where no one but him had come since his grandmother left. Davian had been assigned to do other things and would not come here either. So he wondered who could have come at this moment.
His cold eyes swept over Kisa as he straightened up and strode toward the door. His legs were long, and he walked fast, overtaking Kisa. Just as he reached the door, he saw Jensen getting out of the car and coming his way with a smile, which was always so gentle, just like when he was young.
“I’m here to pick up Kisa.” Jensen spoke gently, stating the purpose of his visit.
Gilbert said nothing, just stood in the doorway and smoked. This is property © of .
After a while, Kisa came up from behind. Jensen frowned when he saw her limping. He quickly came forward and looked at her swollen ankle. “What is going on?”
Kisa subconsciously glanced at Gilbert, who was still leaning sideways against the door, his demeanor lackadaisical with a slight look of sneer and indifference on his face. Kisa lowered her eyes and whispered to Jensen, “I fell.” Although she could not remember clearly last night and the pictures in her head were blurred, she could still vaguely remember that she fell off a boulder.
Jensen looked grave. He stepped forward and carried her up in his arms.
His action startled her, and she wanted to refuse. But when she caught a glimpse of Gilbert’s sneering face, she instantly thought better of it. She was already in such an embarrassing situation, and her ankle was hurting like hell that she was in a cold sweat, so she thought there was the point of trying to be tough. If her ability did not allow, any bravado she had was just a joke to Gilbert.
“Why are you so careless?” Jensen looked at Kisa with distress, and could not help but reproach her with concern.
Kisa smiled apologetically. “I drank too much last night. I won’t do it again.”
Jensen sighed and looked at Gilbert. “Thanks to you for taking care of her last night.”
Gilbert puffed out a ring of smoke with a snort of laughter. “She is the woman you love. So it wouldn’t be right for me, as a brother, to see a drunken woman being harassed by a man on the street and not take care of her, would it?”
Jensen stared at Kisa with a look of self–recrimination.
And Kisa only felt a little embarrassed. She quietly tugged on his sleeve. “Let’s go.”
Jensen nodded and carried her to the car.
Gilbert’s voice came with a sneer of disgust as soon as he placed Kisa in the car.
