Perhaps this was his last chance! Sherilyn was such a wonderful person; undoubtedly, others would fall for her in the future... And then, he'd have no choice but to watch, helplessly, as she found love and happiness with someone else! No, he couldn't let that happen!
On his way back to the Harrison Group, Gilbert's phone rang. He glanced at the screen; it was a message from Caroline.
[Are you busy? What time will you be home tonight?]
Holding his phone, Gilbert thought of what Sherilyn had said - was it Caroline who had told her... about them living together? A wave of irritation surged within him.
[Not coming home. I probably won't make it back for the next few days; there's too much work piled up here.]
[I know you're busy. Just remember to eat on time and take care of yourself, okay?]
[Okay.]
After sending that last word, Gilbert snapped his phone shut, feeling even more irked.
Back at the Harrison Group...
In the CEO's office, Naylor was waiting, having been there for a while.
"Did you go out?" Naylor asked, sipping his tea and glancing up at Gilbert.
"Do you need something?" Gilbert frowned.
Though he had returned to the Harrison family, he felt no father-son bond with Naylor, maintaining his usual cold attitude. If it wasn't for something important, he didn't really want to see him.
Understanding his son's feelings, Naylor sighed softly, "It's not about me, it's your mother... When you have a moment, could you come by to see her? Even just having dinner with her would be nice."
Ever since that day at the hospital when Katy mistakenly called out 'Nick', she had been mentioning him more frequently.
Gilbert remained silent, his gaze softening slightly.
"Ah..."
Naylor sighed again, "With her condition, she needs attention and companionship. I know you're busy, but maybe you could find some time?"
Suddenly, Gilbert spoke up. "Maybe I should move back in."
"Eh... What?"
