Sherilyn looked up at him with a straight gaze, a slight smile playing on her lips as she said bluntly, "No, I'm leaving because I don't want you to drive me, don't want to see you, don't want to share a car with you, don't want to breathe the same air as you."
"Sherilyn, please..."
Seeing Gilbert looking downcast like a child, Rebecca couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity and tugged at her arm.
"Yeah, I know."
Gilbert's face stiffened a bit, but he managed a smile and glanced at Rebecca.
"I might not need to drive you, but big bro asked me to make sure Rebecca gets home safely."
Then turning to Rebecca, "If you don't need my ride, just call big bro. If he agrees, I'll leave right away."
"What?"
Rebecca's head spun at his words.
The last thing she wanted was to contact Francis right now!
Tugging at Sherilyn's arm, she pleaded, "Sherilyn, can we just get in the car? We'll sit in the back, won't talk to him, pretend it's a cab, okay?"
While saying so, she started leading her towards the car.
"I'm begging you here, I really don't want to call your brother!"
Sherilyn gave Rebecca a look that said, 'What is this now?'
Reluctantly, she got dragged into the car.
Gilbert's lips curved into a slight smile, happiness twinkling in his eyes.
Not far behind, Francis saw Sherilyn and Rebecca getting into his brother's Bentley, his expression easing.
Caroline turned to look at him, "Are you that worried about Rebecca?"
Suddenly, something struck her, making her gasp, "Francis, don't tell me, you're blaming me for grandma's situation?"
"..." Francis's grip on the steering wheel tightened, but he shook his head, "No, it's on me..."
"That's good to know!"
Before Francis could finish, she scoffed.
"I have a clear conscience! Blame yourselves! One indulges in affair within marriage, the other tempts a married woman! I just spoke the truth, how could it be my fault?"
