What a warm family scene!
Caroline stood on the side, completely feeling like an outsider! She was just superfluous! With a turn, she headed upstairs.
"Sherilyn."
Gilbert, having changed his clothes, slid the door open as Sherilyn came up with a bowl of yogurt and granola.
At the same time, he noticed Caroline closing her room door.
Gilbert frowned, "What's up? Did something happen?"
"We had a fight." Sherilyn took a spoonful of yogurt to her mouth, "James doesn’t seem to like her much."
Oh, that.
Gilbert frowned, putting it mildly, "She might just lack a way with kids."
"Want some?"
"Sure." Sherilyn scooped another spoonful, feeding it to him. "Tasty?"
"Yeah, another spoonful, please."
"Eat less, save some for me."
"Stingy! I'll make more after we finish."
Chatting away, Caroline emerged from her room, dressed to leave, luggage in hand.
Seeing the two leaning against the doorway, feeding each other yogurt, she felt a twinge in her heart.
She once thought Sherilyn was the one Francis had eyes for...But it turned out there was someone else! And they even had a child!
In the end, she still lost to Sherilyn!
"Caroline."
Francis came upstairs, eyeing the luggage in Caroline's hand, "Where are you off to?"
While speaking, he approached her, holding her wrist.
"Let go." Caroline's eyes were slightly red, "I'm just surplus to requirements in this house!"
"Caroline."
Francis' eyes trembled, brows furrowed, "Nobody said that, it's just James is still young, and he’s just got back..."
"Ha!"
Caroline scoffed, insisting on leaving, "So, am I not allowed to make space for him?"
