Chapter 99
Sylvia still thinks that Sherilyn is living at Golden Oak Manor. After all, with Gilbert owning multiple properties, it was natural for him to be the one to move out if needed.
Faced with an offer she couldn't refuse and fearing she might slip up if she said too much, Sherilyn reluctantly accepted, "Thanks, Sylvia. I'll accept it then."
"Why are you being so formal with me?" Sylvia shot Gilbert a glare. "Did you hear that? Why are you silent? Cat got your tongue?"
"I heard you," Gilbert replied reluctantly. "Don't worry, Grandma. I'll take care of it, okay?"
But inside, he scoffed. What was there to take care of? Did Sherilyn even care?
After a while, the two of them got up to leave. Gilbert and Sherilyn, one after the other, packed their things into the car's trunk. Then, one drove while the other sat quietly in the backseat, heading towards Serenity Street without exchanging a word.
Upon reaching the alley, the car stopped. Gilbert, with a stern face and in silence, unloaded the items from the trunk and placed them on the ground.
"Thanks for your help." Sherilyn glanced at the man, clearly impatient, and smoothed her hair. "Just leave it here. I can take it from here."
Upon hearing that, his expression turned even sourer.
She was going to haul it herself? Carrying all that heavy stuff, walking that far and up the stairs, and not even in one trip? In her eyes, was he just for show? "Sherilyn!"
Regardless of what he thought, Sherilyn bent down to pick up the items. Suddenly, someone called her name. Looking up, Sherilyn smiled, "Oh, it's you." Gilbert squinted as a skinny, plain-looking young guy drove up in a truck.
She was smiling at him? Someone she knew? What was their relationship?
The truck stopped in front of them, and the man got off, looking at Sherilyn, "I was just on my way to deliver some flour to you, worried you might not be home." The man owned a local grocery shop where Sherilyn often shopped, and they offered home delivery.
Sherilyn chuckled, "Isn't that a coincidence?"
