Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 412

“What?” Sherilyn was starting to lose her patience, “What’s up, Jenna? You can’t share with me?”

“It’s not that.” Jenna shook her head. Despite her young age, she vaguely felt that her question might upset her mother, which is why she had been hesitant to ask since she got back.

Over the years, Sherilyn had always skirted around the topic, never mentioning anything

about a father to Jenna…
