Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 324

Turning her back to him, Sherilyn felt a shiver. Had she actually agreed? Perhaps he was thinking the same as she was… Just take it one step at a time.

“Alright.” Turning around, Sherilyn flashed a smile and extended her hand to him, “Deal.”

Deal? Gilbert couldn’t help but laugh. Did she really think this was some kind of business deal? He took her hand and gently kissed it.

With a sigh, he murmured, “You…”

Inwardly, he thought, “Sherilyn doesn’t trust me, but that’s okay, given time… she’ll see how much I care for her. At least for now, she’s mine!”

That evening, after the show, Gilbert unsurprisingly showed up at the dance troupe’s exit.

He had been there for a while, leaning against his car, a cigarette dangling between his fingers. Seeing Sherilyn come out, he waved at her.

Sherilyn hesitated, then walked over.

She frowned and waved her hand in front of her nose.

Noticing her gesture, Gilbert casually stubbed out the cigarette in a nearby trash can, “Don’t like the smoke?”

“It’s suffocating. Sherilyn nodded.

“Sorry.” Gilbert exhaled into the air, “I won’t smoke around you again.”
