Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 255

Edgar froze, his smile stiffening.

He had been rejected.

A self–deprecating chuckle escaped him. “So, is this the friend zone card you’re giving me?”

“Well…” Sherilyn faltered, “You’re really great.”

“But just not great enough for you to like me,” Edgar said with a bitter smile. “Right?”

Not willing to give up just yet, Edgar pressed on before Sherilyn could reply.

“I understand that feelings can’t be forced. But love at first sight exists, as does love that grows over time. We’ve never tried being together. Maybe, after dating, you’ll feel differently about me… Sherilyn, can’t we give it a try? You don’t hate me, do you?”

Sherilyn was taken aback.

Such simple yet fervent, relentless confession, it reminded her of her twenty–year–old self.

Oh.

With a very soft sigh, Sherilyn felt compelled to remind him, “Edgar, does your family know about me?”

Upon hearing this, Edgar was taken aback. Opening his mouth, he admitted, “They… don’t know yet.”
