It was unbelievable. Sherry realized she hadn't eaten a single bite of food, only poking at her bowl. Her eyes were on Lucas, but her thoughts had drifted away. "No, no. It has nothing to do with you. I... how could I have fallen for someone like that?" When did she become unable to say the word "husband"?
Every time she said it, especially when Wendy heard it, she wouldn't see Gilbert for a long time afterward. Even she, as slow-witted as she was, could figure it out. Wendy didn't want to hear her say it. She was also defiant, so she deliberately said it in front of her. Unexpectedly, after Sherry did this, Wendy burst into tears. "Sherry, are you deliberately reminding me that I don't have a family? Are you reminding me that Gilbert isn't my brother at all? Excluding me? Fine, I understand. I'll leave now. Anyway, no one here welcomes me." She cried uncontrollably. Sherry was stunned.
Could so many things stem from just that one word? It was too far- fetched, wasn't it? But unexpectedly, Gilbert actually got angry and pointed his finger at her, saying, "Don't call me that in front of him anymore. Sherry, I've told you many times. Wendy's greatest pain is not having a family. Calling me that makes Wendy think we're a family and excludes her, making her feel lonely. How can you have such malicious intentions? You can't call me that in front of Wendy anymore.

Otherwise, don't blame me for sending you abroad and letting you experience what it's like to be alone there!" From that day on, let alone in public, even when they were alone, she never called him that again. As a result, she now found the word so difficult to say.

She didn't want others to know about this terrible marriage and how much humiliation she had endured to maintain it. She was. ashamed of letting others see that side of herself She admitted that she lacked love. She was sent away at a very young age, and after suffering such humiliation, she longed for warmth. She originally wanted to have a family. Once she had a family, she truly didn't want to be separated from them. Otherwise, she wouldn't have endured the Campbells for so long. She finally had a family, and then it was gone again.
She really didn't want to lose Gilbert, so she clung to him desperately. He had pulled her out of the abyss when she was at her lowest point. How could she give up on him so easily? She was truly afraid of falling into the abyss again. To outsiders, it might seem like she wanted Mrs. Bode's status, so she even sacrificed her self- respect. She was afraid that Lucas would misunderstand her and think she was that kind of person. Gilbert had become like the Campbells. She was also afraid that Lucas would become like Gilbert. "You don't have to be afraid. You don't have to feel burdened.
I'm just responsible for introducing you to a lawyer. I won't pry into your past. Our lawyer is very professional." Saying this, he took Sherry out. Soon they arrived at a club. Sherry didn't have a very good impression of this kind of place. Almost nothing good had ever happened to her in such places. For example, her wedding anniversary. Sherry thought Gilbert went to these kinds of places every day, so she wanted to surprise him. So she prepared a party at the club and sent him a message.

Did you come here specifically to embarrass me?" His friends looked at her with a mixture of amusement and disdain. But it wasn't particularly excessive at the time.
The second time was when Scott couldn't find Gilbert, and the call came to her. When she arrived at the club, she saw several attractive women dancing and pouring drinks, their chests practically pressed against Gilbert. 3/3 18:56 Wed, Jan 21 ▸ admin
