 A slight smile yed on her lips. “Guess if this cobblestone is just for show?”

 The woman paused and <bughed, “Do you think you can scare me? You think I’m easily frightened…”

 “She’s not bluffing.” As they were speaking, Gilbert arrived, stepping onto the porch leisurely as if he hadn’t a care in the world. He nced at Eddy, then at the older woman.

 In a soft voice, Gilbert added, “Don’t doubt it. My wife really will take action.”

 His wife? Sherilyn was stunned, looking toward Gilbert. Had he forgotten they were divorced? Seeing her look his way, Gilbert smiled warmly and asked her, “Is the cobblestone hurting your hand? Want me to help?”

 Sherilyn frowned, looking away. “I can manage on my own.”

 The older woman was confused, wondering what was with these two crazies.

 “Mr. Gilbert.” Though not close, Eddy recognized Gilbert. He looked from Sherilyn to Reba, realizing Reba knew Gilbert’s wife.

 He didn’t dare to offend Gilbert, but pride wouldn’t allow him to back down.

 With a cold face, he forced a smile. “Mr. Gilbert, this is my private matter. No need for you to trouble yourself.”

 He let go of Reba. “After all, she started it.”

 Tsk. Gilbert shook his head in disdain. Though all men in their circle, Eddy’s kind wasn’t to his taste. As for Reba, watching Eddy’s back, her eyes almost bursting with rage!

 “Reba.” Sherilyn supported her, “Do you need to go to the hospital for your wounds?”

 “No need.” Reba looked away, her voice hollow, “I’m fine.”

 She just had some minor cuts and bruises. A hospital could fix her physical injuries, but it couldn’t heal the scars on her soul.

 “Then let me take you home?” Sherilyn didn’t insist further.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.

 Reba, exhausted, nodded. “Okay, thank you.”

 Sherilyn smiled. “No worries.”

 They got into Gilbert’s car and drove Reba back to Emerald Estates. Sherilyn helped Reba into the house while Gilbert waited in the car.

 “Reba.” Sherilyn finally spoke up after treating her visible wounds and hesitating several times. “I shouldn’t pry into your private matters. But Gilbert mentioned Eddy is married.”

 Reba’s eyes flickered. Her mouth opened, but no words came out.

 “Reba.” Since she had started, Sherilyn decided to say more. “Also, Gilbert said Eddy’s personal life is quite messy, not distinguishing between right and wrong. The woman in the morning and the woman in the evening are never the same…”

 Suddenly, Reba closed her eyes. Tears began to fall, drop by drop.
