Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 1496

Chapter 1496

It was a quiet and chilly night at the mansion, but it did not feel like a celebration was on the horizon. The servants had already left by 8 pm, leaving Adrien alone in the massive living room. He was staring off into space with a strange grin on his face that sent shivers down Kisa's spine.

Kisa put on a fake smile and walked over to him. "Godfather, are you so pumped for tomorrow's wedding that you can't even sleep?"

He turned his head mechanically, and his peculiar gaze swept over her. After a moment, he smirked meaningfully. "Oh, yeah. I'm so stoked I can't even close my eyes."

"Haha, I never thought even my level-headed godfather would be losing his cool over his own wedding."

Adrien's lips curled up, and his eyes gleamed. "Just thinking about tomorrow gets me all worked up. I've waited for this day for so long, hehehe... hehehe..."

Adrien's chilling laughter echoed through the room.

Kisa could not help but shiver as she watched him.

"Kisa," Adrien suddenly called out.

Startled, Kisa asked, "W-What's up?"

"Make sure you come to my wedding tomorrow. I have a surprise for you."

She felt a sense of unease at the mention of a 'surprise'. She could not help but think of all the sinister schemes surprises often brought.

"And don't forget to bring Gilbert," Adrien added.

Kisa searched high and low for Adrien, but he was nowhere to be found. Sharon was working the room, pretending to welcome guests but really looking down on everyone. Kisa decided to hide away in a quiet corner and grab a bite to eat. That was when Carolyn appeared.

Carolyn was decked out in a stunning white gown, looking like she was in her fifties, but her makeup made her appear much younger. She was beaming with pride, gliding around the room like she was floating on air. And then she spotted Kisa.

"Oh, you made it! Where is Adrien?" she asked.

Kisa was taken aback.

'He isn't even at his own wedding? What is he up to? Is he trying to embarrass Carolyn?'

Carolyn had already been publicly humiliated before back in Calthon, and Kisa knew Adrien was too smart to go to such lengths just to embarrass her further. She could not help but wonder what kind of conspiracy was brewing in this wedding, and what the surprise Adrien had planned was.
