Chapter 300
But now, someone had flown straight to her from Rainshore City the moment he caught wind of a news piece about her!
How many people like that does one encounter in a lifetime? She wasn’t sure about others, but as for her, she had only met one.
After hanging up the phone, Sherilyn dashed downstairs in a hurry.
Standing at the hotel entrance, it wasn’t long before she saw Edgar stepping out of a cab.
“Sherilyn!”
“Edgar!”
As Edgar walked up with his luggage, Sherilyn looked up and saw the deep dark circles under his eyes.
“You… didn’t sleep at all, did you?”
“No.” Shaking his head, Edgar confessed, “How could I? Losing contact with you, my mind was a mess… But that’s not important-”
His gaze fixed on her, he mustered all his courage.
“Sherilyn, I… may I hug you? Just once, that’s all!”
Before she could respond, Edgar spread his arms, slightly bent over, and pulled Sherilyn into a deep embrace.
Caught off guard, Sherilyn initially stiffened in his arms.
“Sherilyn.”
Edgar closed his eyes, letting out a sigh of relief, “Thank God, seeing you safe and sound like this… it means everything to me.”
Gradually, Sherilyn relaxed. She looked up at him, her lips curling into a smile. “Yeah…”
A few yards away, in a car, Gilbert watched through the window as the two embraced…
Edgar actually showed up? Wasn’t he supposed to be in Rainshore City? And he made it here so quickly? Well, his concern for Sherilyn was evident.
Gilbert’s eyes narrowed, his face expressionless, but his brows furrowed deeply.
What luck did he have? Every time there was a romantic scene, he seemed to stumble upon it!
Gilbert snapped back to reality, remembering Edgar was Sherilyn’s boyfriend, and he was just her ex–husband, part of her past….

Why was he even rushing here? Was he thinking of stealing her back?
Noticing Gilbert hadn’t moved despite reaching their destination, the driver reminded him, “We’re here”
Gilbert snapped out of his reverie, withdrawing his gaze.
Indifferently, he instructed, Tm not getting out Please, let’s head back the way we came.”
Surprised, the driver didn’t question further, “Alright”
As the car drove away, Gilbert couldn’t resist glancing in the rearview mirror, seeing Sherilyn and Edgar enter the hotel together.
He sat up straight, his eyes hardening. Why shouldn’t he try to win her back? Considering the danger she was in yesterday?
He had almost lost his life for her. Wasn’t it only right he try to win her back?!
Inside the hotel.
After helping Edgar with his check–in, Sherilyn led him to his room, pointing at his dark circles.
“Go on, take a shower, and get some sleep.”
“Alright.”
Edgar nodded but didn’t move to enter the room immediately, instead holding onto Sherilyn’s hand.
“Sherilyn, we had agreed, once this trip was over… What do you say, can we move it up?”
He was referring to making their relationship official.
Sherilyn understood.
Hesitating, she replied, “Let’s talk about it after you’ve had some rest, okay?”
There was still the matter of ‘Jenna‘ she hadn’t disclosed to him.
If they were to move forward, she needed to be upfront about it.
“Alright, sure.”
Edgar didn’t press her, sensing that Sherilyn was warming up to him more and more.
He had even managed to hug her earlier.
He softly stroked her hair. “I’ll be looking forward to your good news.”

Meanwhile, back in the taxi.
Gilbert ordered the driver with a firm voice, “Turn around! Back to that hotel!”
