Chapter 347
Their eyes looked.
Silence fell like a heavy blanket for a few seconds.
The sound of snow falling was the only thing audible.
Gilbert’s face darkened like the sky before a storm, oppressive and suffocatingly serene.
His gaze fixed on her, his voice low but clear, “Don’t tell me you spent the whole night with
him?
Sherilyn opened her mouth, “Yes, but…”
But Gilbert couldn’t contain himself, “Yes?” His eyes instantly turned fierce..
“Sherilyn!”
Suddenly, he grabbed her chin, his handsome face inches from hers, a cold laugh escaping his lips.
“You did this on purpose, didn’t you? You gave your dress to Caroline just so you had an excuse not to go to the gala, to meet your ex? Is that it?”
Faced with his sudden rage, Sherilyn was taken aback.
Edgar stood to the side, watching the situation deteriorate, hurriedly trying to explain, “Gilbert, you’ve got it all wrong. Last night, Sherilyn had a bike accident, I was just taking her. to the hospital…”
“Shut up!” Gilbert glared at Edgar, his eyes ablaze.
“And you!” He suddenly grabbed Edgar by the collar. “Touching my girl, are you looking for trouble?”
Before anyone could react, his arm swung, a punch landing squarely on Edgar!
“Ah!” Edgar, still limping, had no chance to fight back and collapsed on the ground, his face turning pale from pain.
“Edgar!” Sherilyn was horrified.
Seeing Edgar like this made her feel like a harbinger of doom. Was anyone kind to her doomed to suffer?
Without a second thought, she rushed over and knelt down, shielding Edgar with her body.
Looking up at Gilbert, “Stop it! What Edgar said is true!”
Her eyes pleading, she suddenly lunged at Gilbert, wrapping her arms around his legs, “Edgar, run! Go now!”
“Sherilyn?” Edgar hesitated, unwilling to leave. “If he hits you…”
1/2
He won’t! Sherilyn was desperate, Just go! He won’t hit mel
She knew Glibert well enough to belleve he wouldn’t hit a woman, despite his flaws.
“Go now! If you don’t, I’ll be even less able to explain!”
With her urging and Edgar’s driver coming over to pull him away, Edgar finally left.
Sigh.
Gilbert looked down at the woman clinging to him, his heart filled with sorrow.
“Sherilyn! You’re my girlfriend! How can you do this to me? Do you even consider me your boyfriend?”
He couldn’t bear to think, “What did you and Edgar do–all night? Huh?”
The mere thought of them together, hugging, kissing… just imagining it was enough to torment him!
“Sherilyn! Have you lost your mind? Doing this for Edgar? If he was reliable, Adela wouldn’t have been able to set you up!”
He was consumed by disappointment, darkness filling his eyes.
“Gilbert.”
Sherilyn was shaken by his gaze.
What kind of look was that? Like catching a cheating spouse, that must be what he was feeling now!
She nervously grabbed his arm, “Listen to me, I haven’t betrayed you! Last night, I really was just at the hospital for observation!”
“Really?”
“Yes!” Sherilyn nodded vehemently.
“No, I don’t believe you!”
Suddenly, Gilbert bent down, scooping her up from the ground, “Get up, come with me!”
