Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 339

Gilbert couldn’t wrap his head around it. They were already this close… and yet, Sherilyn still hadn’t fully let him in..

“What’s up?”

Sherilyn blinked, “You seem upset?”

After a moment’s thought, she smiled. “Don’t you think things are pretty great as they are? We meet up now and then, and it keeps things exciting. Living together might kill that vibe, make us sick of each other…”

“No way, that won’t happen with me,” Gilbert assertively countered without a second thought. “How can you be so sure?”

Sherilyn reminded him, “Mr. Gilbert, have you forgotten? I used to be around you all the time, and you barely paid me any attention.”

Was she bringing up old grievances?

Gilbert was at a loss for words, his past ‘crimes catching up to him.

His silence only made the air between them thicker, his face turning a shade darker.

Noticing his mood, Sherilyn worried he might snap, and she ‘couldn’t afford to lose him‘ now.

She reached out, hooking her pinky around his.

“What’s this for?” Gilbert squinted.

“Here.” Sherilyn nodded towards the plate in front of her. “I can’t finish this. Help me out?”

Hmph.

Gilbert couldn’t help but chuckle, realizing how good she was at bossing him around.
