Chapter 674

Gilbert was noncommittal, his tone casual as he flipped the question back at her, "How did you get here? Finished up at Grandma's?" "No."

Caroline shook her head, wrapping her arms around herself as she deliberated for a moment, "I'm staying with your older brother at the moment, and it's a bit awkward, so I thought I'd come over."

Their relationship had always been more akin to sweethearts since childhood, lovers for over a decade before parting ways. Now, were they to be friends, or siblings? Gilbert hesitated before asking, "You doing alright?"

"Huh?"

Caroline paused, a laugh escaping her, "I'm fine, really. What's there to be not fine about? Just a breakup, that's all. The world's full of heartbreak; it won't kill me." Then, she turned the conversation to Gilbert.

"Aren't you the same?"

After finishing, she seemed doubtful, "I heard it from Sherilyn. He said you two broke up, and it was you who initiated it, right?"

This was something Gilbert couldn't deny.

He had told Sherilyn it was over because he misunderstood, believing she had terminated their child...

But yes, it was he who had brought it up, even if he regretted it now.

"Yeah." Gilbert nodded.
