Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 398

Gilbert closed his eyes briefly, taking a moment to steady his breath and calm his thoughts.

“I didn’t come here to argue with you. I need you to understand something… Yes, you saved my life back then. Without you, I would have been six feet under, and I owe you my life for that! All these years, I’ve kept my promise, looking out for you, protecting the Johnson family! But that doesn’t give you the right to meddle in my life!”

“Me, meddling in your life? As if!” Caroline laughed bitterly, her eyes brimming with tears. “You use Sherilyn’s best friend, threatening her to come back to you. That’s coercion! Gilbert, love doesn’t work if you push it; it’s got to come naturally.”
