Your Love Is But a Dream

Chapter 278

Even though Shirley was both exhausted and sleepy, she didn't go back to her room to sleep. She needed to see Carlisle come back in order to feel at ease.

"I called you so many times tonight, and you didn't pick up..." Shirley said with a pout.

Her eyes were red from exhaustion, making her look even more pitiful.

She grabbed Carlisle's arm, feeling both wronged and guilty. "Are you still mad at me for going to the company today without telling you? Did I make Katrina misunderstand us?

"If Katrina refuses to come home because of this, I'll personally apologize and explain to her. I'll bring her back, I promise. Just don't treat me coldly like you did today, and don't ignore my calls."

As she spoke, Shirley's eyes welled up with tears. "Carlisle, you're all I have now. If you're angry with me and refuse to talk to me, I honestly don't know what I'll do."

She leaned in and rested her head on his chest, looking completely vulnerable and dependent on him.
