Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)
Chapter 509

Chapter 509 There Must Be Some Misunderstanding

"It's because of your mother."

Kisa shuddered. Her voice trembled a little. "My mother? You know my mother?"

Adrien nodded, "I not only knew your mother. I was also a very close friend as well."

"Really? But... as far as I can remember, mom doesn't seem to have any friends. Until her death, she had only mentioned a single person's name."

Adrien's hands on his knees trembled slightly.

He did not ask who the person's name was, but instead, he took out his wallet.

Kisa looked at him blankly, not knowing what he was doing.

She only saw him opening his wallet and pulling a small photo out of it.

The small photo was very worn as if someone had been rubbing against it to reminiscence something.

He handed the photo over to Kisa. "Have a look at this."

Kisa took the small photo with some suspicion, only to immediately recognize her mother in it.

It was a photo of her mother with another man. That man was not Adrien, and she had never seen him before. She raised her hand and gently caressed her mother's smiling image.

Kisa's mother in the photo was not much different than how Kisa remembered her to be. There was the familiar gentleness between her eyes.

When Kisa saw that, her heart tightened, and she felt weepy.

"The person in the photo... is David Kooper."

"What?"

Kisa looked up at Adrien in shock. "He's David Kooper?"

Adrien smiled. "Hmm? You know him as well?"

Kisa hurriedly shook her head. "No, I don't. I have never met him before. But he is Gilbert's uncle, so I've heard about him before." She did not mention her mother's diary.

After all, she was still not familiar with Adrien, and she dared not tell everything about her to him.

"Ah, is that so?" Adrien let out a somewhat strange smile.

Kisa looked at him in surprise. "Why do you have this picture? You're..."

"Good friends."

Adrien took out a cigarette, and just as he was about to light it up, he thought of something and asked her, "May I?"

Kisa nodded. "Go ahead."

Adrien lit the cigarette and took a deep puff as he smiled and said, "David and I were best buddies, and I knew your mother through him. After that, we became good friends that would talk about everything." "I witnessed the love between David and your mother, and I thought that they would be together in the end. Alas, their love was buried by Mrs. Kooper Sr.'s own hands."

"Mrs. Kooper Sr.? What... What did she do?"

Kisa remembered that Madalyn had once claimed herself to be the biggest driving force to match both David and Kisa's mother together. 'But why did Adrien say that their love was buried by Mrs. Kooper Sr.'s own hands? What's going on?' She had more and more questions.

Kisa looked at the middle-aged man whose eyes were still as sharp as ever.

Adrien took a few puffs before saying, "Back then, both David and your mother fell in love, and David even told me that he was finally going to marry the love of his life. Yet, before he could propose to your mother, he was sent by Mrs. Kooper Sr. overseas and lost contact with your mother.

"By the time he found a way to get in touch with her, your mother had already married someone else." When Adrien said that, a slight look of sadness and indignation appeared on his face. No one knew if he was feeling angry for David.

'But there must be some misunderstanding. Mom did not marry Christopher Case willingly. I must clarify that with David.' Kisa looked up at the man sitting opposite her and asked, "Where is David Kooper now?"
