Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 421

"You–you–you!" Selena pointed at Sherry, trembling with rage. "Tonight I'm telling Lucas everything! You hear me? Answer me! I'm reporting you! I'm gonna jump!"

But no one paid her any mind.

Sherry had already left with her coffee, gone without a trace.

Sherry suddenly found herself unable to sleep. Was it because she was in a new place?

Or was she homesick?

The thought crossed her mind, and she dismissed it at once.

She didn't have a home.

She didn't even know what "home" to miss. She had a few friends, but they were just friends—she could never treat their homes as her own.

Even though she'd earned plenty of money, if she bought a big house, she'd only be living there alone.

"What are you thinking about?"

"That I don't have a home," Sherry said without thinking.

She froze as soon as the words left her mouth. Someone had entered the room, and he was wrapping his arms around her from behind. The familiar scent made her tense body relax.

But the gesture was incredibly intimate.

She could feel his breath against her neck, though there was a faint hint of iron—blood. She wondered if she was imagining it.

Afraid he'd misunderstand her words, she quickly added, "I mean a real home. People talk about being homesick, but I don't think I have any reason to miss where I came from."

No family, no good memories. Thinking about it made her feel pitiful.

But Gilbert had never pitied her. He'd always thought Julia was the one who deserved sympathy. Did Julia really look that pitiful? Her eyes shone with nothing but confidence.

She didn't even seem traumatized. Sherry refused to believe someone could go through what she had and show no reaction at all.

Julia even talked about marrying an older man for Gilbert's sake without a single trace of pain in her eyes.

Whenever Sherry saw something that stung, she couldn't help but replay her own past—and in doing so, she slowly healed from it.

Only when those old wounds were fully mended could she start over.

Was Julia really that strong and unbreakable?

"So... did you find out anything about Julia?"
