Chapter 734

Gilbert's lips parted slightly, as if he was about to say something, but Caroline didn't give him a chance. "Why

not take a look atinstead?"

Gilbert jolted, shocked. This was the second tCaroline had said something like this!

The last twas right after she found about her brother and Rebecca White's affair.

But that time, she claimed it was just a joke.

But what about this time?

"Caroline..."

"I'm serious."

Knowing what he was thinking, Caroline locked eyes with him, her expression solemn, "Gilbert, let's be together,

okay?"

She reached out her hand towards Gilbert, slowly, and took hold of his.

"Gilbert, | like you. What about you? Do you like me?"

Overwhelmed by shock, Gilbert was stunned for a good two seconds before he could react, making sure he

hadn't heard wrong.

He abruptly stood up from the couch, "Caroline, calm down. | know your knee injury... must have been a big

shock, but..."

"You don't believe me?" Caroline's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Gilbert didn't verbally respond, but his evasive gaze said enough, "It's getting late. Since you're okay, | should

probably get going..."

He raised his hand, trying to break free from her grasp.

"Gilbert!"

But Caroline held on tight, refusing to let go.

Looking into his eyes, she was a mix of desperation and sorrow, "You're mad, aren't you? You blme, right?

Blme for choosing Francis over you even though | met you first!" "Caroline..." Gilbert frowned and shook his

head, "You're overthinking it. I'm not..."

"You are, you are!"

Caroline becagitated, tears streaming down her face.

"You should blme! | did fall for someone else, that's true! But, Gilbert, | still like you!"

"I" Gilbert was taken aback, trying to stop her, "Caroline, stop..."

But Caroline couldn't stop.

There was no turning back now!

Since she had already spoken up, she had to go all in.

"Gilbert, believe me! | do like you! My feelings for you are just as strong as they were for Francis! Maybe, over

the years, they faded a bit... But from now on, I'll be completely devoted to you!" "Caroline..."

Gilbert closed his eyes, unable to bear looking into hers.

"Francis is already with Rebecca White! I'll forget him completely! Trust me!"

Caroline continued, unstoppable.

He couldn't stop her; no one could.

"Gilbert, | know you like me... Ever since Sherilyn entered the Johnson family, you've never once looked at her

the way you look at me! You've never liked her!"

Caroline smiled.

With a hint of victorious pleasure, confident, "Remember? When we were kids, you said you'd always be good to

me! Take care of me! You've done it, all these years, you've been quietly protecting me, being kind to me, | know

your feelings..." As she spoke, she slowly realized Gilbert's expression was off.

He was expressionless, no, more precisely... he looked cold, not pleased, and seemed a bit troubled.

"What's wrong? I'm willing to be with you now, you don't have to put up with Sherilyn anymore. Aren't you

happy? I'm the girl you've liked since we were kids."

The air was thick with tension for a few seconds.

Gilbert looked at her, unsure if it was a question or a repetition.

"You're the girl I've liked... since we were kids...?"
