Chapter 283

Why wasn’t Gilbert answering his phone? Had something happened?

A sense of unease settled in Halsey’s chest as she worried about Gilbert’s safety. Clutching the popcorn, she ran through the heavy rain back to Clavendale University.

By the time she returned, Halsey was drenched, with the popcorn hidden in her arms. Though she hadn’t managed to see the movie, at least she could share the delicious treat with Gilbert.

Hurrying to find him, Halsey stopped short when she spotted Gilbert up ahead.

Gilbert was there, and beside him was someone she recognized–Sienna.

Gilbert had helped Sienna apply some ointment and stayed by her side the entire time. Now that Sienna’s foot no longer hurt, they were walking back together.

Halsey watched them. Gilbert and Sienna walked side by side, with Sienna shyly saying something as Gilbert wore a warm smile on his handsome face.

They were talking and laughing, looking every bit like a couple in love.

Halsey stood frozen, unable to comprehend why her fiancé was walking alongside Sienna.

So, he hadn’t gone to the cinema because of Sienna?

Halsey felt foolish. She had been worried about him, rushing back like a soaked mess, only to find him hanging out with Sienna.

Fuming, she pulled out her phone and dialed Gilbert’s number.

She heard his phone ring in his pocket, but he made no effort to answer as he continued to chat with Sienna.

Halsey’s heart sank, a wave of anger flooding her. She immediately stormed over and stood in front of them. Gilbert, what’s going on? Why are you with her?”

Gilbert and Sienna stopped. Sienna looked fragile and frightened. “Halsey…”

Gilbert quickly moved to shield Sienna, glaring at Halsey. “Halsey, why are you yelling? You’re scaring Sienna.”

The anger boiled over in Halsey. “Gilbert, we had plans to see a movie at seven! Why didn’t you show up?”

Gilbert’s gaze fell on the birthmark on Halsey’s face, his expression tinged with distaste. The fact that she was drenched only repulsed him even more. Coldly, he replied, I forgot! We can watch the movie tomorrow. Do you really have to make a scene?”

What? She was making a scene?

Halsey sneered, “I don’t think you forgot, Gilbert. You were too busy hanging out with Sienna. You’re cheating on me!”

The word “cheating” struck a nerve in Gilbert, making him uncomfortable. “Sienna and I haven’t done anything.”

“Cheating is cheating, whether it’s physical or emotional. Do you think there’s a difference?”

Halsey’s sharp words left Gilbert speechless.

At that moment, Sienna reached out and tugged at Gilbert’s sleeve, her voice sweet and innocent. “Gilbert, it’s my fault. You two are fighting because of me.”

Gilbert looked at Sienna and softly reassured her, “Sienna, it’s not your fault. I can’t control what she thinks.”

Sienna looked at Halsey and flashed her a mocking smile.

Halsey’s fury flared, but she said nothing. She turned and walked away.

Behind her, Sienna’s voice rang out. “Gilbert, what’s your relationship with Halsey?”

Gilbert paused for a moment, then replied, “We’re just friends.”

Halsey let out a bitter laugh. They were engaged, yet he was saying they were just friends.

It was utterly ridiculous.

She felt like the most pathetic person on earth.

After Halsey left, Gilbert and Sienna parted ways.
