The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 884

Sherry stared at Gavin, and it suddenly struck her-the man she had once loved might have been nothing more than a perfect image she had created.

Gavin had never shown respect for anyone. He was always harsh, his words biting when he spoke. Whenever he wanted something from her, he'd soften his tone, spinning sweet words to get what he desired. But as soon as she no longer mattered to him, he'd drop her without a second thought.

And Sherry wasn't the only one he had treated this way. There was Yvette, and who knew how many others Sherry had never met.

"If you still believe Yvette's the one to blame, then there's no hope for you," Sherry said.

"If it's not Yvette's fault, whose is it?" Gavin asked.

Sasha couldn't tell if Gavin was pretending to be clueless or if he didn't understand what Sherry was getting at.

She spoke up. "This is on you. If you hadn't given Yvette that chance, do you really think she would've stuck around? And if you hadn't shown her the slightest interest, why would she have stayed in your orbit for so long?"

Sherry couldn't have agreed more with Sasha, saying, "You never take responsibility for your actions. It's always someone else's fault in your eyes."
