Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)

Chapter 1556

Gracie shot him a fiery glare and grabbed Kisa's hand, exclaiming, "Don't mind him. He's absolutely obsessed with parading our daughter around in front of his buddies. It's beyond infuriating!"

"Hey, what's the big deal with showing off my precious daughter to those single losers?" he snapped back, only to receive another dramatic eye roll from Gracie. His face fell, a picture of pure hurt. "She's my daughter too, remember?"

"Oh, really? And what exactly did you contribute? You just provided that tiny little something, while I endured nine months of pregnancy and all the pain that came with it!"

"I..." Kelvin was left utterly speechless, seething with anger.

Kisa, caught in the crossfire of their heated exchange, let out an awkward, nervous laugh. Gracie pulled her away to play with the children, completely disregarding Kelvin's existence. Furious, he clenched his teeth and glared at Kisa with a jealous intensity.

'How can this outsider stand against me, the rightful husband and father?'

As soon as Gilbert entered, he noticed his wife being subjected to a fierce stare and immediately furrowed his brow, snapping unhappily, "If you don't want my wife and me here, we will just leave." With that, he gestured for their three kids to join him.

Panicking, Kelvin quickly grabbed him. "What are you talking about? We're practically family; how could I not welcome you?"

"And what about my wife?"

Kelvin hesitated, glancing at Kisa before muttering, "Welcome, welcome. A very warm welcome."

Andrew smirked. "Uncle Kelvin doesn't seem too thrilled."

Anxious, Kelvin hastily waved at him. "Stop stirring the pot! I'm genuinely happy to have your mom here, okay?"

Gilbert walked over, grinning from ear to ear, and slapped Kelvin's shoulder. "Alright, I was just messing with you. Congrats, buddy!" Kelvin was like a brother to him; someone he had known since childhood. There was no way he would miss the baby's full-month celebration. It was all just a playful tease.

"Ah, so everyone's gathered here."

Just as the group was basking in the warm atmosphere, sharing laughter and light-hearted conversation, a jarring female voice abruptly intruded upon the moment. Gilbert's brow furrowed deeply, and Kisa's face momentarily stiffened. The uninvited guest was none other than Sara.

It was apparent that Gracie held a strong dislike for Sara, her displeasure written all over her face upon seeing her. She scoffed at Kelvin.

"I wasn't aware you invited her as well."

Seeing everyone's discontent, Kelvin appeared helpless. "I didn't have a choice. She was adamant about coming, and we do share some history from our younger days. She claimed she wanted to see my baby, so I just-"

"Don't hold it against Kelvin. It's true; I begged him to let me come. I just want to see the baby, and then I'll be on my way." Sara spoke as she approached the group.

Today was a celebration of their precious baby's first month, and everyone present was a guest. Even if Gracie harbored a deep dislike for Sara, she refrained from saying anything further. Sara peeked into the baby stroller and gasped.

"Oh my, what a gorgeous little girl! She's like a doll, but she doesn't seem to resemble Kelvin much. If no one mentioned it, I would never have guessed she was Kelvin's baby."

Gracie could not help but roll her eyes, the hidden meaning behind Sara's words all too clear. Sara was intentionally stirring the pot.

Kisa shot Sara a glance and remarked slowly. "Either you're half-asleep, or you're blind. This child has the same eyes and brows as Kelvin, even her mouth is like his. How could you possibly not see that?" "Ah, is that so? I genuinely didn't notice." Sara feigned astonishment.

Kisa scoffed coldly. "Maybe you should find time to see an eye specialist."

"With her level of blindness, I doubt an eye specialist would make any difference. I suggest she just gouges her eyeballs out, so people won't mistake her for someone who can see and misunderstand that she knows how to carry on a conversation." Gracie added, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
