Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 420

The silence in the car became palpable as Gilbert sneaked a glance at Sherilyn through the rearview mirror, silently urging himself to understand her

Sherilyn was missing her mom today, feeling down. He was worried about her, of course, but he also knew he needed to be understanding.

What was the rush, after all? They had only just reconciled a couple of days ago.

Watching Sherilyn walk away, he felt like he was in a daze, “…Goodnight.”
