Chapter 1566
On the way back, after a day of fun, the three children were exhausted and fell asleep in the car. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Gilbert had Davian drop the children off at the Kooper residence while he and Kisa got out halfway.
In early summer, the evening breeze was refreshingly cool.
Gilbert held Kisa's hand as they strolled along the sidewalk.
"Tired?" he asked, glancing at her.
"If you're tired, we can just take a cab back to the apartment."
Kisa had lost her child at the Kooper residence, and Gilbert, fearing it would upset her, had not dared to let her return there.
Instead, they had been staying together at an apartment.
Kisa shook her head.
"I'm not tired."
A walk like this was actually quite nice.Not far ahead was the riverbank.
Under the streetlights, the sparse silhouettes of people created a peaceful atmosphere.
Thinking about the day's events, Kisa could not help but worry.
"I wonder if Gracie and Kelvin will reconcile."
"Don't worry."
He reassured her.
"Gracie turning the tables on Sara at the end shows that she's still level-headed and sensible.Mentioning divorce was just a rash comment she made in anger."
"You're right."
Kisa agreed with a smile, gripping his hand a little tighter.
Gilbert glanced at her, the corners of his lips curling up involuntarily.
Neither of them brought up the lost child or the unhappy moments from before.
As they worked together to maintain their relationship, it felt genuinely good, and neither of them grew tired.
Back at the Hoover residence, after handing her baby to the nurse, Gracie returned to her room.
Usually, at this time, Kelvin would have prepared a variety of delicious treats for her in the room.
But that man was absent today, clearly still upset with her.She had carefully thought about what had happened and realized she might have gone a little too far by casually mentioning divorce.She had intended to return to the room to say a few gentle words and apologize.
But since he was not there, her urge to apologize vanished.
Annoyed, she took a bath and then leaned against the headboard, flipping through a magazine.She decided that if Kelvin spoke to her first when he came back, she would stop being angry and make up with him.But if he came back with a sour face, she would continue to be upset and ignore him.
With these thoughts in mind, she waited and waited, but Kelvin never came back.
When it was already past 10.00 pm, she could not focus on her magazine any longer and got up from the bed.
Pulling open the door, she saw a servant passing by.
She quickly stopped the servant.
"Have you seen Kelvin?"
"He..."
The servant spoke kindly, He's in the study.I'm bringing him chicken soup right now since he didn't have dinner."
Gracie's gaze fell on the chicken soup the servant was carrying.She smiled.
"I will take it to him.You can go and rest."
"Alright, he will be delighted to see you."
Gracie pursed her lips, unconvinced.
'If he truly wants to see me, he wouldn't be hiding in the study and refusing to return to the bedroom, ' she said in her mind.
Carrying the chicken soup, she arrived at the study, knocked on the door, and received no response.
After waiting a few seconds, she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.As the door swung open, she saw Kelvin leaning back in his chair, smoking by the window.
Just as she stepped inside, an impatient growl came from him.
"I said I don't want to eat anything.Now leave!"
Gracie paused, taken aback.He had never spoken to her in such an impatient tone before.
Swallowing her frustration, she continued to walk further into the room.
"Can't you understand what I'm saying?"
Kelvin yelled again, furrowing his brow as he turned to look at her.
When he realized it was her, his handsome face briefly revealed a trace of awkwardness, and his tone softened without a hint of resentment.
"Oh, it's you."
