Still You Still Me Still Falling novel Chapter 125

She wasn't sick at all.

To think he actually lied to a child, spinning total nonsense!

"I'm all better now."

In front of the little girl, Sheila obviously wasn't going to expose him.

"Then you have to play with me!"

Sheila cast a glance at Edmond in the distance before whispering to Tilly, "Did Daddy say it was okay for us to play?"

"Daddy said we could play as soon as you got better! And now you're better, so play with me!"

Ha.

Sheila didn't hesitate and brought Tilly right along with her.

When Edmond finished his call and turned around, both the woman and the child had vanished.

He frowned. A bodyguard stepped forward and reported, "Ms. Jensen took Tilly back. Our people are following them."

Took her back?

Back to Cecil's place?

Edmond's expression darkened drastically as his long legs immediately strode in that direction.

But Sheila hadn't taken Tilly into the villa. Just a short distance away, there was a children's play area.

Edmond was practically seething, only to realize Sheila was just pushing Tilly on the seesaw.

She hadn't gone back to Cecil's at all.

Many people liked children, but few possessed genuine patience.

Sheila was different.

She truly adored Tilly.

Every time she played with the little girl, Edmond could see that her joy was completely authentic.

To make a child laugh, to truly enter their world—sometimes, you needed a heart as pure as theirs.

Perhaps Sheila didn't have any real flaws.

Her only flaw, perhaps, was... her total irresponsibility when it came to relationships.

If only she...

Edmond couldn't bring himself to look away for a long time.

He could deceive anyone in the world.

Yes, he was furious that she had taken Tilly to see Cecil. Completely furious.

But all he really wanted was for her to apologize and coax him a little.

She was so good at coaxing people, wasn't she?

Back when they were together, if she ever did something to make him mad, a little sweet-talking from her was all it took for his anger to vanish.

But she didn't do that anymore.

Of course, why would she?

She only used to coax him because he was her boyfriend.

Now, he was absolutely nothing to her.

Edmond lowered his eyes, hiding the overwhelming surge of emotions in his gaze.

He was the one who had gone back on his word, he was the one who spoke against his true feelings, but she was the one who couldn't control her own heart.

There was resentment, there was blame, and there was even hatred.

But the one thing missing was disgust.

Even though she was flighty and constantly chasing new romances, he still uselessly... loved her.
