Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Sylvia sighed, "Um, this is not what I signed up for."

"I've never wanted to marry Sherilyn. You forced me into this!" Gilbert was visibly frustrated as if the very notion of their marriage was unbearable for even a second longer.

"If she could make you happy, I'd accept it. But now, I can't stand having her as my wife! I'm afraid I might lose control. I don't even know what I might do to Sherilyn!" "Stop!" Sylvia freaked out, grabbing Gilbert by the arm.

Thinking of the great-grandson she had lost, Sylvia gritted her teeth. "Okay, how about this? I won't make you see her. I'll send her abroad, far away from you, okay?" After a tense silence, Gilbert stepped back. "Whatever you say."

Sherilyn quickly turned and ran back to her room, closing the door behind her. The moment it shut, she collapsed to the floor, tears streaming down her face. "Gilbert, Gilbert..."

She never knew Gilbert hated her so much. He married her because he was forced to. She had no clue about that.

After her parents passed away, her grandmother raised her. At fifteen, she lost her grandmother in a car accident, leaving her an orphan. Since her grandmother and Sylvia were close friends, Sylvia took her in.

Sylvia doted on her, often saying, "Sherilyn, when you grow up, would you like to be my grandson's wife?"

And Sherilyn would sweetly reply, "Yes."

Thus, marrying Gilbert and becoming his wife became Sherilyn's dream.
