CHAPTER 690
Chapter 690 Go to Sleep, I Won’t Disturb You
As the door opened, Gilbert appeared in the doorway in a light gray fall outfit. Kisa quickly said to him, “You’re not asleep? Did you see the message I sent you?”
“Saw it.”
“Then why didn’t you return my message?” Kisa complained. But she did not have time for this. “I just saw four cars pulled up downstairs with a dozen bodyguard like men getting out of the vehicles. Do you think they could be the killers who are after us?”
“Yes.”
“So, what do we do now? They are catching up so fast, and there are so many of them, and—”
“Aren’t you tired, Kisa?” Gilbert interrupted her with a frown before she could finish her sentence.
Kisa was dumbfounded. “I–I’m tired, but those killers —‘
“Why are you worried about them? They are humans, too; they need to sleep, so they check in at the hotel. Besides, this suite is airtight. Are you afraid they will crawl in like last time?”
“But-”
“This is the busiest part of the town. With so many eyes around, they wouldn’t dare to do anything to you, even if you sit in the hall now and wait for them. So what are you afraid of?” He sounded impatient and upset.
Kisa pursed her lips and stopped talking as she suddenly realized that no matter how worried, scared, and anxious she was, she was just making a mountain out of a molehill in his eyes.
“They only dare to strike on the outskirts where no one is around. Don’t worry about it. I will get rid of them completely tomorrow.”
She could see that he was tired, which was why he was in such a black mood, even his voice reeking impatience and grumpiness. Kisa lowered her head. “Go to sleep, and I won’t disturb you.” But he did not move, so Kisa subconsciously looked up at him. “Is there something else?”
“Did you forget again what I said to you last night?” He frowned and sounded upset.
Kisa was none the wiser. “What did you say?” She did not remember him saying anything important to her last night.
Gilbert took a deep breath and tugged at her as he brought her away.
“What are you doing?” Kisa subconsciously resisted.
“Didn’t I say you would sleep with me for the next few days? Did you forget?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“I, no… Is it really necessary?” Kisa quickly waved her hand. “Didn’t you say they wouldn’t climb up here this time? So, we don’t have to sleep together, do we?”
“It is just difficult, not impossible. So sleeping together is much safer.”
“Is it really that necessary? They-
“Kisa!” Gilbert interrupted her, irritated. “Can you let me worry less about you? Is it so hard for you to sleep with me? Are you afraid I would do something to you even in such a situation?”
His voice carried a touch of mockery, and he furrowed his weary brow. Kisa was pissed. But seeing the weariness on his face, she choked back her anger and pursed her lips, choosing not to say anything. She would only look too pretentious if she talked too much.
Gilbert glanced at her and suddenly let go of her hand, then let out self–deprecating laughter. “Forget it. I won’t force you again. It is only for your safety, but you react as if I want to take advantage of you.”
Kisa’s face flushed with indignation. “I didn’t say that.”
He grunted softly and spun around to go back to his room. Kisa stood in the doorway with exasperation. ‘I didn’t mean that way. I just felt it was not appropriate to sleep with him. It was he who misinterpreted what I said. Now, great! I look like the one who is at fault. Heh!‘
She stood at the room’s door for a long time before carrying her quilt to Gilbert’s room.
