Chapter 868
"Wow!\" Jenna exclaimed with excitement, cradling the bowl in her hands. "It's a bunny!\"\nSherilyn had cut the
apple into the shape of a little bunny. It was a simple way to delight a child.\n\"Thank you, Mommy!\"\n"You're
welcome, sweetie...\"\nSherilyn chuckled, just as her phone buzzed in her pocket.\nlt was Blake calling.In\"Hello,
Director Blake.\"\n"Sherilyn, it's been a while.\"\nTheir last meeting had been months ago, shortly after finishing
their previous film project, when he introduced her to snew investors.In\"What's going on, Blake?\"\n\"We're
doing sadditional voice-overs for the last project. It's in post-production and gearing up for
release.\"\nSherilyn was momentarily surprised, "Already?\"\n\"It's been months; it's not that soon
anymore.\"\nBlake laughed, \"You don't have much to cover. When are you available? I'll set it up.\"\n\"Let me
think...\"\nAfter a moment's thought, Sherilyn replied, "I'm busy during the day, but evenings are good. Any
evening works for me.\"\n\"Alright, letcheck...\"\nThere was a brief pause before Blake's voice returned,
\"How about starting tonight then, over the next few evenings? Does that work?\"\n"That's fine, no
problem.\"\nAfter ending the call, Sherilyn paused and sent a text to Gilbert. In\"What twill you be home
tonight?\"\n\"Around 6, not later than 7.1"\n"Okay, noted.\"\nOn the other end, Gilbert held his phone, pondering
the message.InSherilyn's question hinted at evening plans.In...InGilbert arrived just after 6.InAs he entered,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlaughter could be heard from inside the room. InGilbert's brow furrowed slightly before Sherilyn and Edgar
emerged.InEdgar had arrived a bit earlier, visited Jenna, and spent stplaying with her. Now, he was
ready to leave.InSeeing Gilbert, Edgar paused momentarily, then smiled, \"Gilbert.\"\n\"Hey.\"\n\"You're
here.\"\nSherilyn glanced at the tand smiled lightly, "You're early, huh? Perfect, | can head out now.\"\nWhile
speaking, she picked up her backpack from the couch. InPointing inside the room, she instructed Gilbert,
\"Jenna's had her dinner. You can watch a movie with her or read a story... she's all yours now. Callif you
need anything.\"\n\"Okay.\" Gilbert nodded, his gaze lingering on her before briefly shifting to
Edgar.\n\"Edgar.\"\nSherilyn slung her backpack over her shoulder, nodding towards Edgar, \"Let's head out
together.\"\n\"Uh, sure...\"\nEdgar nodded, still somewhat dazed, and they left the room together.In The moment
the door clicked shut, Gilbert's expression turned dark.InSherilyn's message was because of Edgar, wasn't it?
\nWere they going on a date?\n\"Ugh.\"\nGilbert scoffed, mocking himself for his thoughts. In They were a
couple, after all. A date was perfectly normal.\nWhy was he, the ex-husband, the ex-boyfriend, so bothered by
this?\n...\nIn the elevator, Edgar kept glancing at Sherilyn.InSherilyn laughed softly, "Got something on your
mind?\"\n\"Yes...\"\nEdgar nodded.\nWith Jenna's surgery behind them, he felt it was tto broach a subject
he'd been avoiding. InHe cautiously began, \"Where are you headed? Shouldn't you be with Jenna?\"\nSherilyn
pressed her lips together briefly, \"It's work-related... As for Jenna, you saw for yourself, Gilbert's with her.\"\nShe
smiled slightly, \"We've worked out a schedule: | take the day, he takes the night.\"\nBut something felt
off..\nEdgar sensed the discrepancy.InSwallowing hard, he finally asked, "So, you two haven't gotten back
together?\"
