    Chapter 1455


    Gilbert fell silent again, but it was clear that he was not pushing her away or trying to move away from


    her. Kisa snuggled into his embrace, feeling warm and safe, and soon drifted off to sleep.


    But just as she was about to enter dreand, she heard a muffled voice from above her head.” Even if


    you try to pretend, I won’t be fooled again.”


    ‘Not again!’ Kisa sighed silently, knowing that any exnation she could offer would be futile. She just


    murmured a soft “Mmm” and tried to ignore him, drifting off into a deep slumber.

    But suddenly, she felt his lips on hers, harsh and punishing, almost as if he were seeking revenge. Kisa


    was annoyed and turned over, muttering, “Stop it, I’m sleepy.”


    Then she heard his deep and repressed whisper in her ear. “If you want to kill me, just do it. I’m not


    afraid anymore, because… if I die, I’ll make sure youe with me. With you by my side, nothing. else


    matters.”


    His voice was both tender and low, as if he were confessing his love and his resolve at the same time.


    Kisa was too tired to say anything else, so she just muttered, “Okay… whatever happens… I’ll be with


    you…”


    And with that, she fell into a deep sleep,pletely oblivious to whatever Gilbert might have said after


    that.


    When Kisa woke up the next day, the lounge was brightly lit, but Gilbert was nowhere to be seen. She


    rubbed her eyes and felt the space next to her, which was cold. Checking the time on her phone, she


    gasped in surprise to see that it was already noon. She had never slept so deeply before, let alone in


    the lounge.


    Quickly getting dressed, she emerged to find the CEO’s office empty and bright. Wondering where


    Gilbert could be, she was about to call him when Davian suddenly walked in carrying a steaming lunch


    box. “Mrs. Kooper, I just picked this up from the employee cafeteria. You should eat it while. it’s still


    hot,” he said.


    As Kisa sat down by the coffee table and motioned for him to bring the food over, she asked, Where’s


    Gilbert?”


    “Mr. Kooper went out to meet a client,” Davian replied, cing the food in front of her. “Our cafeteria


    food is pretty good, Mrs. Kooper. I hope you don’t mind it.”


    “Don’t worry, I’ve eaten worse,” Kisa replied with a smile. Her morning sickness had subsided, and her


    appetite had returned. Seeing the packed lunch in front of her, she could not resist.


    “Why didn’t you go with him?” she asked Davian, who was still standing there


    “I stayed behind to take care of you,” Davian said, then realizing he had said too much, quickly covered


    his mouth.


    Kisa heard him loud and clear. “Gilbert left you here to take care of me?”


    Davian came clean. “Yes, Mrs. Kooper. He asked me to bring you food at certain times I brought you


    breakfast this morning, but you were sleeping so soundly that I didn’t want to wake you up


    So, here’s your lunch.”


    Kisa smiled, saying nothing, but the food in front of her suddenly smelled even better.


    Davian nced at her and said, “Mrs. Kooper, if I may ask, did you and Mr. Kooper have a fight? I’m


    begging you to persuade Mr. Kooper to go back and rest. He’s had three bouts of stomach problems


    the day before yesterday, and the most serious one even left him unable to stand up straight.”


    Kisa froze in the middle of eating. After a long pause, she spoke softly, “We didn’t fight.”


    “If it’s not a fight, then what is it? Mr. Kooper hasn’t smiled once since he came back from Athadale.”


    “Davian…”
