Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 301

Sherilyn turned around and headed back to her room.

Her room wasn’t on the same floor as Edgar’s; she had to go down two flights of stairs.

As she was getting out of the elevator, her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, and it was a call from back home.

Hesitating for a second, Sherilyn answered. “Hello?”

“Sherilyn.” A somewhat familiar voice came through, “This is Adela Ferguson.” Sherilyn’s heart skipped a beat. It was Edgar’s mother! She had a bad feeling about this–Edgar had just arrived, and now his mother was calling her.

“Mrs. Ferguson,” Sherilyn braced herself, “What can I do for you?”

“It’s hard to explain over the phone, let’s meet in person.”

Meet in person? Sherilyn tensed up. “Mrs. Ferguson, where are you?”

“Right.” Adela was straightforward. “I’m at your hotel. Meet me in the café. I’ll wait for you.”

With that, she hung up.

Sherilyn, holding her phone, furrowed her brows. She knew she had to face this eventually, so she might as well go.

The café wasn’t too crowded at this hour.
