Still You Still Me Still Falling novel Chapter 146

Lying in bed, Sheila couldn't find a single ounce of sleep.

Thinking back on it now, she still couldn't believe she had actually agreed to his condition.

What exactly was Edmond trying to achieve?

She thought of Jewel Baker openly walking in and out of public spaces with other men, something Edmond was surely aware of.

So, was making her his life assistant some kind of retaliation against Jewel?

Were the two of them seemingly doing their own thing, while secretly playing some high-stakes game of tug-of-war?

Neither willing to concede defeat?

She felt like she was going crazy just trying to decipher his motives.

Her mind was a tangled mess of thoughts.

One thing was certain though—these wealthy couples really knew how to play twisted games.

Early the next morning, she received a text from Edmond.

He asked: *What time do you get off work?*

She replied: *It depends. If nothing urgent comes up, usually 5:30.*

He didn't text back.

She dove into her work, and before she knew it, it was pitch black outside.

Simon Sinclair was waiting nearby. "Alright, that's enough, you can't finish it all in one day. What do you want for dinner? I'll take you."

Since returning from abroad, Sheila had looked even thinner.

His mother had drilled it into his head to take good care of her.

So, instead of leaving when his shift ended, he had stayed behind to wait for her.

Buried in her tasks, Sheila completely forgot about her arrangement with Edmond.

She glanced at the time, feeling a nagging sensation that she had forgotten something important, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"I don't feel like going out," she said lazily. "I just want to go back to my dorm, lie flat, and sleep until morning."

"You're exhausted." Simon truly viewed her as family, and it pained him to see her so drained. "Go lie down, I'll go buy you some food."

The two walked out side by side.
