Chapter 308
“Seriously!” Sherilyn had no patience for it. “Oh, you’re such a hero! We’ve known each other for nearly a decade, and you’ve despised me for just as long! For Caroline’s sake, you’re actually asking for my helpt Don’t I disgust you?”
“You…” Gilbert was furious, gripping her shoulders tightly and almost gasping for breath, “Is it because of Edgar? Do you like him that much?” That she would speak so lowly of herself!
“Yes!” Sherilyn lifted her chin defiantly. “Edgar is amazing. I like him, what’s so wrong about that?”
Suddenly, Gilbert’s breathing hitched, his heart momentarily paralyzed Veins popped on his forehead as he exploded, “Shut up! Don’t speak another word!”
He couldn’t bear to hear another syllable!
Sherilyn couldn’t care less about his feelings. “Edgar treats me well, respects me, cherishes me. No one has ever held me in such high regard. I like him! And you…”
She glared at him as if he were her worst enemy.
Then, with all her might, she lunged at him, catching Gilbert off guard and knocking him to the ground!
“Ha ha…” Laughing through her tears, Sherilyn cried, “But it’s all ruined! You’ve ruined me! Ah..
Right, her phone! It was in her bag!
Sherilyn’s body hadn’t recovered yet, so she could only crawl slowly towards the sofa–her bag was on it.
“What are you doing?” Gilbert saw everything.
But Sherilyn completely ignored him, stubbornly crawling on the floor
Finally, she reached out, struggling to grab her bag, Luckily, her phone was in the side pocket.
With a click, it fell to the ground.
Sherilyn smiled, slowly swiping the phone’s screen
“Sherilyn, Sherilyn!” Gilbert knelt beside her urgently. “Think about Adea, you and Edgar are impossible!”
But Sherilyn turned a deaf ear, stubbornly dialing Edgar’s number and placing the phone on the ground, switching on the speaker.
Soon, a voice came through.
“Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable.”
Sherilyn stiffened, whispering in despair, “No, no…
Then, she dialed again.
The same message, “Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable.”
Her tears flowed uncontrollably. She knew she couldn’t get through anymore!
“Ah!” Sherilyn’s head hit the floor, her sobs muffled.
It was over, all over…
She had planned to tell Edgar about Jenna’s situation once he had rested well. If he could accept Jenna, then they might try to be together…
Of course, she had also considered that Edgar might not accept it.
She would understand completely. Then, they could say their goodbyes respectfully and move on separately.
But she never expected their relationship to end this way! What would Edgar think of her? He would hate her, right?
Edgar was the first person she liked… but in the end, it ended with his hatred!
She had lived for 24–years, and
Get up.”
Gilbert reached down, forcibly lifting her off the ground to place her on the bed. He then roughly wiped away her tears with his hand. “Stop crying and face reality. You and Edgar, it’s over.”
