He silently closed his eyes for a moment.
"About what happened later..."
Sherilyn lifted her head, her voice steady yet fearless, "I begged you, remember? I wanted to stay another day in Sunhaven because I felt so terrible, really terrible..."
Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
"My Jenna has been unwell, I wonder, was it because I got soaked in the rain that day?"
The hardships of the past weighed heavily on her heart.
"After we got to Crestwood, you didn't forget, did you? You never reached out to me again, leaving me alone in a city that was a complete stranger to me! You abandoned me for four years!"
Sherilyn bit her lip, her voice trembling, "Am I stubborn? Maybe, but after you discarded me so easily, how could I ever believe you'd accept my child, take responsibility for her!"
Gilbert's gaze shattered as if he had been struck dumb, unable to find the words.
Sherilyn suddenly laughed, "I'm legally your wife, yet I'm also just a parasite you could easily throw away!"
Parasite!!
Gilbert felt as if his head was splitting open, like there was a drill boring through his brain...
Yes, he remembered saying those words.
Because back then, Caroline had lost her child... His older brother had slipped into a coma, and it was uncertain if he would ever wake up...
The reasons that seemed justifiable at the time now crumbled into nothing in front of Sherilyn and her daughter Jenna!
Gilbert felt a lump in his throat, his lips moved but no words came out.
His chest, his heart, his entire being was filled with endless regret. Every movement brought a mix of pain and soreness.
"Sherilyn..." He barely started speaking when Sherilyn suddenly stood up, ready to leave.
"Sherilyn!" Gilbert quickly stood up, grabbing her hand and asking, "Where are you going?"
"Let go of me!"
"Sherilyn..."
Suddenly, Sherilyn picked up a strawberry milkshake from the table and hurled it at Gilbert! The pale pink, sticky liquid covered him from head to toe.
"Hmph!"
