At the exclusive Pinegrove Club.

Gilbert stepped out of the private dining room, craving a breath of fresh air, with Callie Robinson trotting behind him.

"Gilbert, wait up!" He glanced back at her, then asked, "Why are you following me?" "Why so grumpy?" Callie pouted, ignoring his chilly demeanor. "We've known each other since we were kids, remember? You didn't even recognizelast time! Plus, you still owean apology." She was referring to the incident involving her and Caroline Bennett.

At that time, Gilbert hadn't recognized her.

But who was Callie? A lady of distinguished heritage, raised with Western values, unfamiliar with the concept of restraint.

Knowing Gilbert would be here tonight, she made it a point to seek him out.

Once Gilbert was informed of her identity, the issue with Caroline had to be brushed aside.

The Robinson family's reputation had to be preserved.

But an apology? A smirk played on Gilbert's lips. "And how exactly should I apologize?" Callie laughed, looping her arm through his and saying, "Gilbert, I like you! I've liked you since we were kids! Let's date? I want to be with you!" Really? Gilbert paused, momentarily stunned.

Years ago, another girl had stood before him with that sgleeful smile, passionately confessing her feelings. [Gilbert, I like you! When I grow up, I want to marry you! I want to be with you forever!] Yet now, that girl's heart belonged to someone else...

People change, hearts drift apart. This world never promised anything eternal.

Gilbert smirked, "Thanks." "Thanks for what?" Callie clung tighter to his arm, becoming more clingy, "You just have to agree to date me..." Gilbert chuckled, cutting her off, "I have a girlfriend. You're out of luck." Callie raised an eyebrow, unfazed, "Why no chance? I'm confident that once you're with me, you'll likeeven more!" Gilbert squinted, thinking to himself how her brazen confidence reminded him of the young Sherilyn...

[Gilbert, you're mine! I like you! One day, you'll liketoo!] "Hello?" Callie waved her hand in front of his face, pouting, "Why so silent? Daydreaming?" "Nothing." Gilbert snapped out of it with a chuckle, "We've been out here for a while, let's go back in." Callie held onto his arm tightly, "Then, will you dance with me?" "I can't!" "I can teach you!"

It was past nine, and dinner had gone cold.

Sherilyn Gomez, too lazy to reheat and struggling with her pregnancy appetite, opted for a bowl of soup from the pot. That filled her up enough.

Heading upstairs after her meal, she emerged from her bath at ten.

Sherilyn frowned, wondering if Gilbert planned on coming htonight.

Lying in bed, she idly scrolled through her phone with no particular aim. Suddenly, she paused.

A new social media post caught her eye-it was from Callie, a photo. The backdrop seemed like a fancy ball or cocktail party.

Gilbert long, defined fingers holding a clear ng the bartender, his glass, tilting his head bet as he drank.

A void opened up in Sherilyn's heart, a momentary daze her daze overtaking her, mindblanking out.... Slowly, she regained her senses.
