Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 1549

After a long, intensely passionate moment, Kisa finally found a deep slumber in the latter part of the night.

Gilbert tenderly held her delicate hand in his, marveling at the daintiness of her fingers.He could not believe that this was the woman he had adored since their youth.

Despite the many trials and tribulations they had faced, he could not help but feel grateful that fate had brought them back together.

He pulled her closer, her body enveloped in his warm embrace.

Softly, he whispered into her ear, "Together, we will find true happiness."

She seemed to have heard him, murmuring a gentle "Mm," like a content kitten snuggled in his arms.

The next morning, Kisa awoke to find Gilbert gazing at her with a look filled with passion and intensity. Startled, she asked, "What's going on?"

Gilbert flashed a playful grin.

"Nothing, just admiring how angelic you look when you are asleep." Kisa looked away, not responding.

Lately, she had become more introverted; in the past, she would have shot back a cheeky reply.He could not help but miss the spirited woman she once was.

As Gilbert got out of bed and began getting dressed, Kisa caught a glimpse of the marks on his back.She bit her lip and looked away.

Seemingly on purpose, he took his time dressing in front of her.

"Davian called a moment ago, saying there is something urgent at the company.I need to head in."

"Oh," Kisa replied, eyes downcast.

Feeling a mixture of helplessness and affection, Gilbert leaned in and tenderly pressed his lips against hers.

"I have to leave now," he whispered.

"Then go," she replied softly.

He chuckled, trying to lighten the mood.

"I got you your favorite madeleines.They're in the container in the kitchen, so don't forget to enjoy them when you get up."

"Mm." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"And I'd love it if you could make lunch for me today." Kisa's eyes met his, a flicker of curiosity emerging.

"Are you coming home for lunch?"

"No, would you mind bringing it to the office? I've been craving your delicious lemon butter salmon."

He wanted to give her a purpose, something to focus on.

By keeping her busy, he hoped she would not be consumed by negative thoughts, preventing her from being trapped in an endless cycle of sorrow.

Having promised to cook for Gilbert, Kisa sprang out of bed.

They left the house together, and Gilbert lovingly dropped her off at the nearby supermarket before making his way to the office.

With laser-focused purpose, Kisa quickly collected the ingredients she needed.

Intent on having lunch prepared before noon, she did not waste a moment in the supermarket.

Once she had everything, she was eager to return home.

But as she waited for a ride, her heart skipped a beat as she recognized a familiar figure.

‘Sara?! She watched Sara approach a sleek minivan, and through the partially open window, she noticed that the man in the driver's seat was none other than Shaun.

To her knowledge, Shaun had taken over Risen Enterprise after Jensen and Mia's departure.

As Sara climbed into the minivan, the window began to close.

In the fleeting moment before it shut completely, Kisa caught a glimpse of Shaun and Sara locked in a passionate kiss.

‘What's going on? I thought Sara had feelings for Gilbert? What are her intentions with Shaun, and what's her true purpose for working at GK?"

These questions swirled around in Kisa's mind.

Lemon butter salmon was Kisa's signature dish.She had cooked it for Gilbert numerous times in the past, but back then, he had loathed her and never touched her meals.She could not fathom how he had fallen in love with her lemon butter salmon.

Alongside the salmon, she prepared a delicious batch of roasted asparagus.

Once everything was ready, she meticulously packed the dishes in disposable containers and set off.

Gilbert had left a car for her to use, and since it was not during rush hour, the drive to GK was swift, taking only about 15 minutes.

The security guards recognized Kisa and greeted her with the utmost respect.

She headed straight for the CEO's office, and as soon as she stepped into the sleek lobby, she was met with a chorus of hushed whispers.
