“You can’t even be fair. Why should I trust you? Just because of what you say?”
Perhaps because he was provoked, Gilbert, unusually, didn’t argue with her. But he was still upset and left after telling her to get some rest.
Sherry had already gone to bed. She knew Gilbert wouldn’t give her a satisfactory answer.
Indeed, once you let go of your expectations of someone, you won’t be disappointed anymore.

“Who made Gilbert so upset?”
“Do you even have to ask? Of course, it’s because of Wendy. Gilbert, did Wendy do something that give you a headache again?”
Gilbert bristled. “Wendy! Why do you always mention Wendy in front of me? Sherry is my wife!”
John and Paul were stunned by his outburst.
The others didn’t dare to say anything more, but they felt something was off about what he was saying.
Didn’t they always talk about Wendy before?
Talking about Sherry usually meant trashing her.
Tyrone, unfazed by Gilbert’s stern tone, spoke up. “Has there been another conflict between Wendy and Sherry?”
Gilbert looked puzzled. “Am I really wrong? I just asked Sherry to be more lenient with Wendy. Sherry is older than her. What’s wrong with giving in a little? Yes, Wendy is a bit willful. But can’t Sherry be more sensible? Why…”
The way Sherry looked at him like he was trash, showing absolutely no trust in her husband.
Tyrone said, “Sherry is only a year or two older than Wendy. That’s not a whole different generation. Why should She give in to Wendy? Just because Wendy cries more?”
Gilbert was stunned. Although he had always known their ages, he hadn’t realized how small the age gap
was.
Wendy was always crying and easily frightened. Gilbert had subconsciously felt that she was still a kid.
He felt they should be tolerant of Wendy.
Was he really wrong?
But did that mean punishing Wendy?

“I’ll make it up to Sherry.”

If things continued like this, Sherry and Wendy would only grow more hostile towards each other. What if they can no longer get along? They can’t just fight like enemies. Things would only get worse.
Tyrone, for once not goofing around, said, “So to keep some fake balance, you wronged Sherry? But why should she be the one to eat it?”
“Because…”
Tyrone obviously knew why, so he cut him off. “But that has nothing to do with Sherry. On what grounds should Sherry endure this?”
Gilbert spun his glass with his long fingers and said, “Because she’s my wife. We are one.”
Tyrone was speechless.
Even married couples could have disagreements on this kind of thing.
But Gilbert was incredibly stubborn. Once he made up his mind, he generally wouldn’t change it.
Further persuasion would only backfire.
Sherry replenished her energy, trying to recover her strength.
However, she still received various messages and pictures from Wendy. Gilbert had been with her all this
time.
“We haven’t moved into his new house because of what happened. Gilbert was afraid that if we moved in now, someone with ulterior motives would find out and I would be wronged. Otherwise, we would have been living together already.”
“I know you’re not replying to my messages because you’re jealous After all, I was the one who had the bodyguard smash your head. I’ve been watching you ever since you walked into the store. I just didn’t expect later what you’ve done!”
“Gilbert punished me, too. He’s making me stay in Splendor Villa. I’m so miserable.”
The camera flipped, and Sherry saw “Splendor” in its truest sense.
Sherry had never seen such a luxurious detached villa. Even their rich community was far inferior to Splendor Villa.
“As Gilbert’s wife, you haven’t even seen the Splendor Villa he spent $1 billion to build. You’re such a failure.”
Watching the video, Sherry felt everything in front of her was getting farther and farther away. She tried to focus, but it all blurred.
