"Sherilyn!"

Gilbert stared at her with deep eyes. Ever since she had returned, the one thing she seemed most adept at was-rejecting him!

"Do you think I enjoy meddling in your affairs? I'm only doing this for Grandma."

At that, Sherilyn remembered.

Sylvia had mentioned that Gilbert should treat her like a sister... Only if she was doing well could he successfully secure the divorce papers.
