you won’t?”

As he spoke, her smiling at Yates made his anger ablaze. Squinting his eyes, he added with malicious intent. “You seemed pretty happy smiling at Yates earlier, huh? What, got a thing for him?”

What the hell! Sherilyn was stunned. What was he on about?

But Gilbert wasn’t done yet. His eyes narrowed, anger brewing in them like a storm. “You think Yates is an option for you? Let’s not mention how infamous you are in Sunhaven. Just your status as my ex–wife, a divorcee, makes you untouchable among Sunhaven’s elite!”

Sherilyn listened quietly, her initial shock fading to a deathly pallor.

Finally, Gilbert added insult to injury. “Not on your life!”

Instantly, Sherilyn stiffened, trembling uncontrollably. How could there be such vile people in the world? How had she ever loved such an evil ma

She looked at him, a scornful smile on her face. “Right, I’m dreaming. I’m the infamous one! And what about you? Is there anything more despicable than a man coveting his brother’s wife? Does

Sunhaven not already whisper about Mr. Gilbert’s sordid desires?”

As her words hung in the air, a deadly silence spread.

Gilbert clenched his fists, his eyes cold. “Sherilyn!”

Before he could explode, Sherilyn turned and ran, not forgetting her backpack on the sofa, and she dashed out the door,

“Damn!” Gilbert’s handsome face darkened, his lips pressed into a thin line, “I shouldn’t have bothered with you!”

After her performance, she returned to the dressing room to remove her makeup. Then, she received an international call.

“Hello.” Sherilyn answered, solemnly speaking, “Dr. William.”

“Okay.” Sherilyn sat up straight, her heart pounding in her throat.

“The other day was a treatment day, and Jenna had some vomiting and diarrhea, but she’s been better these two days.”

When hearing that, Sherilyn’s eyes dimmed, her heart aching. Jenna must feel so lonely without her there.

William added, “Your friend has been visiting.”

He meant Joyce.

“Jenna’s holding up.” William sighed, “I know you’re from Sunhaven, and now that you’re back, have you considered giving Jenna a little brother or sister?”

He was hinting, and Sherilyn understood. She would take it if there were even the slightest. chance.

Sherilyn shook her head. “It’s impossible, Dr. William.”

“Ah…” William sighed, “I shouldn’t have asked.”

Sherilyn immediately comforted him, “Don’t say that. You meant well.”

Choking up, she whispered, “Mommy’s working hard to make money. I’ll bring you home soon!”
