Chapter 404 And there it was, the bombshell - Sherilyn was pregnant. The very thought of Gilbert discovering this sent shivers down her spine.
"Gilbert." She could hardly bear to think about it, struggling with her words as she pointed at Karol. "You've already got a girlfriend. You don't need me." "Oh, her?" Gilbert chuckled, raising an eyebrow without bothering to explain.
"I was thinking, you know, you make a good point. Maybe I should try seeing other women, get myself a new girlfriend..." His gaze drifted down, locking onto Sherilyn's face with an intensity that felt almost tangible.
"But then, what to do? After trying, I realized, it just doesn't work... No other woman seems to satisfy me. It's always you who fits my heart the best."

She stared at him, lips tightly sealed, refusing to utter a word.

And Sherilyn, a girl on her own in Sunhaven, had already had a couple of bad encounters.
"Let's go. I'll take you home." Leading the way, he pulled Sherilyn towards the exit.
