Chapter 305
“Hey, hey… what are you up to?” Sherilyn watched in shock as Gilbert began undoing the buttons of his shirt, revealing a well–defined chest. He then unbuckled his belt and slid it out of the loops, leaving his trousers hanging loosely on his hips.
The sight was… provocative, leaving too much to the imagination.
He bent down, messed up her hair, and in doing so, wrinkled the sheets and the quilt.
“What are you even doing?” Sherilyn’s anxiety grew; this was just too weird!
Gilbert looked at her, his voice deep, as though he was merely stating a simple fact. “Sherilyn, I’m going to answer the door… Adela and Edgar are outside.”
With that, he turned and walked towards the door.
Wait, Adela and Edgar?!
“No, don’t!”
Sherilyn’s voice halted him, tinged with desperation and a quiver that suggested tears. She realized what he was plotting! Dressed like this, with her shoulders bare in such an inviting manner… not just Adela and Edgar, anyone would jump to conclusions!
Sherilyn saw through Adela’s scheme. If that bully hadn’t been chased off by Gilbert, Adela would have shown up by now! All to show Edgar what a ‘cheap‘
woman she was!
But what baffled her was, why, after rescuing her, would Gilbert

Gilbert paused, his back still to her. Don’t? Was she so unwilling to let go of Edgar? Unfortunately… he wasn’t about to compromise his own desires for someone else!

open. He smirked, “Sorry, who is it?”
Adela and Edgar, standing at the door, were stunned. Neither had expected Gilbert to answer the door!
“Gil… Gilbert?”
“Hey.” Gilbert leaned against the door frame, a lazy smile on his face, “Oh, Edgar, Mrs. Ferguson? Are you here to see me?” He shook his head, “Wait, no, this isn’t my room. Are you here for… oh…”
He tapped his forehead, as if suddenly remembering, “Right, of course, you’re here for Sherilyn. What do you need?”
Though Adela didn’t grasp the full story, she could tell from Gilbert’s demeanor that he and Sherilyn were up to no good! She glared at her son, “Edgar, are you blind? Can’t you see for yourself?”
Of course, Edgar wasn’t blind. His face was already pale, but he was holding it together, clenching his fists as he met Gilbert’s gaze.
“Where’s Sherilyn? I need to see her!”
“Sherilyn?” Gilbert blocked the doorway, saying, “Maybe some other time? It’s not convenient right now…”
Hearing this, Edgar’s expression darkened further. “Not convenient?”
Adela, determined to have her son give up on Sherilyn once and for all, forcefully pushed the door open, “Edgar! Go in! See for yourself how ‘inconvenient‘ she is!”
“Mrs. Ferguson! What are you doing?”
Unexpectedly, Adela managed to push the door wide open. Of course, Gilbert had let it happen! If they didn’t go in, how would Edgar and Sherilyn’s relationship end?
“Edgar, stop! I said, it’s not a good time for Sherilyn…”
But it was too late. Edgar had already rushed in, standing by the bed, staring dumbfounded at the person on it…
