Chapter 1191

Through the closed door, Gilbert could hear the sound of running water from the bathroom.

He frowned, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu.

Just now, Sherilyn had really pulled away from him.

He'd seen her like this before.

It had been a long time ago-over a year, actually-back when Sherilyn had first come back to Sunhaven.

Without even realizing it, Gilbert had started to feel possessive of her, like she was someone he just couldn't let go of.

Back then, when he tried to get close to her, she reacted the same way-pulling away, tense and guarded. It had been obvious, almost painful.

But later, she accepted him. They'd been together for ages now-shared everything, been through the most intimate things countless times. She'd never acted like that again.

So, he'd let it go, convinced it was just the past.

But tonight—why was she shutting him out again?
