Still You Still Me Still Falling novel Chapter 121

In front of outsiders, he possessed a grounded, unshakeable composure, the kind of man who wouldn't flinch if a mountain collapsed in front of him.

But there was only one woman who could make his fingertips tremble with just a few light words.

And the worst part was, he was completely powerless against her.

He couldn't raise a hand against her.

Nor could he bring himself to curse at her.

Even if she changed boyfriends as frequently as she changed clothes—going from Simon Sinclair to Marcus Wagner, and now living with Cecil Rhodes...

Edmond Halley let out a self-deprecating laugh. "It's fine. Goodbye, Sheila."

Sheila Jensen heard Edmond's retreating footsteps.

Without looking back, she walked straight into the villa.

There was an uncomfortable twinge deep in her heart, like a tiny paper cut on her fingertip—not severe, but impossible to ignore.

Were she and Tilly... really never going to see each other again?

She knew that if Edmond truly meant what he said, she really wouldn't get to see the little girl.

With Edmond's status, Tilly's future would undoubtedly be far removed from the lives of ordinary people.

Sheila might never have the chance to cross paths with her again in this lifetime.

A loud bang echoed outside the window as fireworks bloomed in the night sky.

She hadn't expected people abroad to celebrate the holidays with such fanfare.

Sheila admired the display for a moment before checking the time. It was already midnight.

She sent a quick text to Cecil, asking him to let her know he was safe once his flight landed.

Then, she lay down in bed, but sleep completely eluded her.

She didn't even know when she finally drifted off, only to be jolted awake the next morning by her ringing phone.

"Happy holidays, Sheila!" Yvaine Marin's energetic voice echoed through the speaker.

"Happy holidays," Sheila mumbled, rubbing her eyes and propping herself up against the headboard. "You're up early. Didn't you stay up late last night?"

"Are you still sleeping?" Hearing her friend's groggy voice, Yvaine sounded a bit concerned. "Did I wake you?"
