Chapter 655

“I’m sorry.”

Gilbert stood in front of her like a child who knew he’d messed up, his hands bound by an invisible guilt.

“It’s my fault, you have every right to be mad…”

“You don’t have to apologize to me!”

Tears brimmed in Sherilyn’s eyes, a testament to the tension she’d been carrying these past few days, a tension Gilbert could never fully understand.

As he lay there, passed out, she feared the fragile thread of her patience would snap at any moment.
