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.

Her gaze swept over him with a frosty indifference, “The one you should be apologizing to is Jenna!”

She jabbed a finger into his chest, her voice quivering with emotion, “After all these years, you owe her so much. If something happened to you, how would you ever repay her? Huh?” Her eyelashes trembled, her lips quivered, and tears stubbornly circled her eyes.

Gilbert felt his heart soak in her tears, turning both soft and damp. He bowed his head, resting it on her shoulder.

“Gilbert!” Sherilyn gasped, a mix of anger and urgency in her voice. Had all her words fallen on deaf ears?

“I realize my mistake, I truly do.”
