“Sherilyn…”
He glanced down at Sherilyn, his smile dimming slightly.
His lips parted, “I guess I should be on my way then.”
Sherilyn smiled gently, “Take care.”
“Will do.”
Gilbert turned and instructed Allen and Abel, “I’m leaving things in your hands.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Gilbert.”
With them around, he felt reassured.
Gilbert walked over to his car, opened the door, got in, and slowly drove away.
“Ah…”
As the car disappeared into the distance, Rebecca sighed softly. She linked arms with Sherilyn and whispered,
“He’s quite considerate.”
“Mhm.” Sherilyn nodded, not denying it, her clear eyes calm and composed.
When Gilbert cared for someone, he indeed attended to every little detail.
Wasn’t that how he was with Caroline?
“Let’s go, Jenna’s craving dumplings, and they’ll be sold out if we’re late!”
“I better hurry too, or I’ll be late!”
Behind them, Allen and Abel exchanged glances.
One stayed downstairs, the other followed Sherilyn.
…
At the entrance of the neighborhood, Rebecca headed left, and Sherilyn went right.
Sherilyn headed to the market, while Rebecca rushed to the bus stop.
Rebecca boarded the bus and arrived at the supermarket where she worked, running through the employee entrance with a sandwich in hand. Parked by the curb was a Porsche Cayenne.
Francis sat in the back, quietly watching the slim figure vanish from sight.
“Does she work here?”
“Yes,” Sawyer replied, “It’s been a few days now.”
“What’s her job?”
“Stockroom manager.”
That sounds tough, Francis frowned instantly.
He couldn’t understand why she was in such a hurry to work, especially taking up such a demanding job.
She didn’t need to endure this hardship.
She’s a designer, meant to wear elegant clothes, apply exquisite makeup, and comfortably sketch designs in an office.
“Sawyer.”
“Mr. Francis.”
“Arrange something for her-“
“I understand, Mr. Francis.”
…
Two weeks flew by quietly, without incident.
During these two weeks, with Allen. and Abel keeping watch at Sunset Ridge Community, there was
trouble from Malvinas

Every day, Allen updated Gilbert over the phone.
“Mr. Gilbert, everything’s fine.”
Was Gilbert overthinking it? Or did Galen say or do something to keep Malvina this quiet?
In reality, Galen was of age and insisted on the surgery, no matter how much Malvina protested, it was futile.
On the day of the hospitalization, Gilbert arrived at Sunset Ridge Community early.
Sherilyn opened the door for him, “You’re here? Come on in.”
“Sure.”
These past two weeks, although Gilbert had picked up Jenna for
outings, it was always through net
Sophia. Sherilyn hadn’t made an appearance.
Today, with Jenna’s hospitalization, it was unavoidable, and he finally saw her again.
Seeing her had become a ‘luxury.’
Gilbert stepped into the living room.
“Mr. Gilbert!”
Jenna was already up and ran towards him when she heard the noise, “Mr. Gilbert’s here!”
“Mhm.” Gilbert picked up his
daughter, kissing her chubby cheeks, “Jenna’s got a hospital stay today, of , I had to come.”
The doorbell rang again, and Sherilyn went to answer it.
This time, it was Galen.
“Sis.” Galen grinned broadly, “I’m here, let’s go to the hospital together.”
The siblings shared a warm smile.
“Come in, it’s still early, let’s have something to eat first.”
“Of course, I came on an empty stomach!”
