Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 78

"Today, Mr. Gilbert didn't show up, and I'm worried..." Colin waved his hand, buzzing with excitement. "Look at this. I was overthinking it. Mr. Gilbert might not be here in person, but he sure hasn't forgotten about you."

Really? A smile spread across Sherilyn's face, but inside, she found it all ridiculous. He barely wanted to glance at her when she was his wife, but she seemed to have sparked his interest when she wore a mask. Who would have thought that Gilbert was falling for a dancer?

But what would his face look like once he saw the girl behind the mask? Disappointment, or perhaps outrage? Either way, it was not going to be a happy face..

It was Monday again, Sherilyn's day off.

She had arranged with Sylvia to come over for the day and stay the night. Sylvia was, of course, delighted. There was no reason not to be.

Early in the morning, Sherilyn arrived with her bag over her shoulder and carrying what she needed for the day.

Sylvia had just woken up and was surprised to see her so early. "Sherilyn, you're here already? You're young. Don't you sleep in like other youngsters?"

"I have plenty of time for sleeping. I don't mind missing out on one day." Sherilyn sat by the bed, seeing Sylvia looked well, and decided to speak her heart.
