Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 120

“What the heck?” Gilbert was fuming!

Did she really think he was meddling? People usually came begging for his help, no one dared to talk back to him like this!

Sherilyn didn’t want to waste another minute talking to him. Her ring was lost, and she needed to find it, pronto!
