Chapter 272


    “Alright, Mr. Gilbert.”


    It wasn’t until Gilbert was almost at the dance studio that he finally picked up his phone to reply.


    [I’m almost at the dance studio. Whatever it is, we can talk in person.]


    Upon receiving the message, Sherilyn couldn’t help but wonder, was he just passing by the dance studio?


    She didn’t dwell on it much and, together with Reba, left the studio.


    “I’ve been imposing on you these past few days. I can head back home tonight.”


    “Imposing? Don’t be silly. You’re wee at my ce anytime you need.”


    As they stepped out, they saw Gilbert leaning casually against his car, waiting for her.


    “Sherilyn, I’ll head off first.”


    “Sure.”


    Sherilyn jogged up to Gilbert, slightly out of breath, and went straight to the point after pulling out her phone.


    “How much do I owe you?”


    “Sherilyn…”


    Gilbert frowned, a hint of seriousness in his tone. “I didn’te here to collect money from you.”


    Sherilyn was surprised. Then why was he here?


    “Oh…”


    After a moment, she got it.


    “I know, you just picked it up casually. To you, this hairband might be as trivial as a dor or two, but for me, it’s not–it’s too precious…”


    “Hold on…” Gilbert’s gaze darkened. “You think I just picked it out casually?”


    Sherilyn was stunned. Wasn’t it?


    Gilbert couldn’t help but let out a bitterugh, his teeth clenched. “Yes, just picked it out


    casually!”


    But his heart felt an intense pinch of sourness. What was he even thinking?


    When Sherilyn mentioned paying him, he thought she was rejecting his gesture!


    But then she said–it was picked out casually


    Thinking of himselfparing simr hairbands to her cheap one… He must have looked <b>so </b>foolshi


    What’s more pathetic than being rejected? it’s her not realizing this intentions at all She never thought that he had picked it out especially for the


    Watching Gilbert’s mood swing. Sherlyn was utterly confused. “Giber?”


    Gibert suddenly snapped back to reality, a sh of pain visible in his eyes.


    That…” Sherlyn reminded him. “You haven’t told me how much?”


    Sherlyn.


    Gibert didn’t answer, he wanted to ask her, “Haven’t you ever thought…”

    But the words just wouldn’te out.


    Thought about what?” Sherlyn asked innocently, genuinely curious.


    Nothing


    Gilbert shook his head, swallowing hard, and then blurted out a number. 200 bucks! Huh… Huh?” Sherlyn nodded subconsciously, then was suddenly taken aback. “What?

    Reba had said it should at least start with a thousand.


    ‘Didn’t catch that?”


    No, it’s just… that cheap?


    “What are you on about?”


    Gilbert frowned, visibly imitated. I bought it, don’t I know the price? If you’re paying, pay. If not forget it. I don’t have the time to haggle over 200 bucks with you!”


    “Oh, okay”


    What else could she do<i>?</i>


    Sherilyn reluctantly transferred 200 bucks to him.


    Gilbert’s phone pinged in his pocket.

    Sherilyn was about to remind him that the transfer wasplete.


    But Gilbert had already turned around. “We good here? I’m leaving!”


    “Take care…


    As she spoke, Gilbert left her with nothing but his retreating figure, a shadow cast in gloom.


    Buy a hairband, huh?


    If he ever does something as pointless as this again, he’d consider himself a fool!


    Gilbert’felt a tightness in his chest, struggling to breathe, when his phone rang.


    It was Sylvia. She hardly ever sounded so panicked. “Gilbert, it’s a disaster! Francis and Caroline had a huge fight!”
