Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 272

“Alright, Mr. Gilbert.”

It wasn’t until Gilbert was almost at the dance studio that he finally picked up his phone to reply.

[I’m almost at the dance studio. Whatever it is, we can talk in person.]

Upon receiving the message, Sherilyn couldn’t help but wonder, was he just passing by the dance studio?

She didn’t dwell on it much and, together with Rebecca, left the studio.

“I’ve been imposing on you these past few days. I can head back home tonight.”

“Imposing? Don’t be silly. You’re welcome at my place anytime you need.”

As they stepped out, they saw Gilbert leaning casually against his car, waiting for her.

“Sherilyn, I’ll head off first.”

“Sure.”

Sherilyn jogged up to Gilbert, slightly out of breath, and went straight to the point after pulling out her phone.

“How much do I owe you?”

“Sherilyn…”

Gilbert frowned, a hint of seriousness in his tone. “I didn’t come here to collect money from you.”

Sherilyn was surprised. Then why was he here?
