Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 152

“Okay.”

The burgers were brought to the table, and Edgar took a bite. It was indeed delicious.

“Yeah, this is good.”

“Right?” Sherilyn’s eyes crinkled with a smile.

“Thanks for treating me to the pumpkin pie…”

It was only after he’d nearly finished eating that she softly said, “But, in the future, please don’t buy it for me anymore.”

Hearing this, Edgar was taken aback, his expression darkening.

A bit panicked, he asked, “…You don’t like it?”

“Yes, I don’t.”

Edgar was struck, at a loss for words, just staring at her blankly. “I’m sorry…”

“There’s no need to apologize.”

Sherilyn let out a sigh, speaking softly, “The pumpkin pie is delicious, I really like it. But, please don’t bring it anymore.”

Edgar nodded, “I understand, you don’t like me…”

He just couldn’t accept it; he hadn’t even had the chance to let her get to know him.

“Do you really dislike me that much?”

“Don’t talk about yourself like that,” Sherilyn said lightly, “You’re a great guy, I believe you know that–but we’re just not right for each other, even if… you were just looking for a fling.”

A fling? Is that how she saw him?

“No!” Edgar was startled.

He quickly shook his head, his words tumbling out in his haste, “I never thought that! I don’t see you as just a fling!”

That made it even worse. Sherilyn thought silently.

She sighed, “Then you should understand, we’re just not a good match.”

“Why not?”
