Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 183

Sherilyn spun around, her fury propelling her straight toward Gilbert. She grabbed him by the collar, her eyes bloodshot and filled with rage. “What unforgivable sin have I committed that you simply can’t let me be?”

Her Jenna was about to go under the knife! She never said it out loud, but William had mentioned every surgery came with risks. No surgeon could guarantee Jenna would come out of this unscathed! What if, by some. one–in–a–million chance, something happened to Jenna? That was why she had to get that limited–edition Minnie Mouse to Jenna before the surgery!

“It’s you!” Tears filled Sherilyn’s eyes, her heart trembling. “It’s all ruined! All because of you! Just go! Get out of here!”

She completely lost control, throwing a flurry of punches and kicks at him.

Gilbert didn’t fight back. For one, he never laid a hand on a woman, especially his own. And secondly, Gilbert was shocked. He never expected Sherilyn to break down in tears. Over a toy, she was crying as if she had lost a family

Gilbert tried to soothe her. “Sherilyn, Sherilyn? Calm down.”

“Just go! I can’t stand the sight of you! Please, leave me alone!” Sherilyn shouted. She didn’t even glance at him.

“Sherilyn…” Seeing her utterly inconsolable, Gilbert resorted to force, wrapping his arms around her waist and lifting her like a child.
