Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199 Hidden Intentions

Just the two of them left.

Sherry rolled her eyes quietly, then finally broke the weird silence. “Aren’t you even mad?”

“It’s not a big deal. If they wanna fool around, let ’em. Besides, it works out-it keeps people off my back.”

Then he grinned, all secretive-like. “And y’know what? Not everything they rambled about was a lie.”

“Huh?” Sherry looked totally lost.

The part that wasn’t a lie? Sherry didn’t dare overthink it. What if she got it wrong, just like everyone else?

Lucas sliced Sherry a few pieces of meat and popped one right into her mouth. Sherry was still in a fog-she couldn’t wrap her head around it being real.

Chapter 199 Hidden

He wouldn’t spend a single penny on Sherry, wouldn’t let her learn anything new, made her do all the housework, and still griped that she was useless. He wanted everything, but gave nothing back.

He was just a spoiled rich kid who’d always had people waiting on him hand and foot. He had no idea how to give to anyone else.

He never even had to give anything to get what he wanted.

He thought everyone else’s kindness was just their job. He’d even compare her to other people, but he never stopped to think about what he’d done-only what everyone else was doing wrong!

Why? Because Gilbert’s success came way too easy.

If what those guys said was true-

When the Bode family had trouble, Julia fixed it. All he had to do after that was drink some wine and schmooze with business partners. Any regular Joe could do that—it’s just part of the job in this line of work.

So yeah, he never really went through any hard times.

All those “hardships” he thought he endured? They were nothing. Total nothing.

If Gilbert ever sobered up and realized what an amazing relationship he threw away, he’d regret it so bad.

After all, someone like Sherry was a diamond in the rough.

That’s why, when he saw the news Tyrone sent over, he kept replaying those parts again and again. Everyone

They actually thought she got so much from just that.

Could one lousy title give her all those perks? It’s like those guys who brag about “supporting their family” but only give their wives three or four hundred bucks a month-then demand three dishes and a soup every day, fresh and hot.
