Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 449

Gilbert was cruising the neighborhood, his car moving at a leisurely pace, especially as he neared the local park.

He deliberately pulled over and stopped the car.

Rolling down the window, he peered outside, hoping to catch a glimpse of Jenna.

Gilbert opened the car door and stepped out.

“Having fun?” he called out.

“Yeah!” came the cheerful reply.

Want to go higher?”

“Yes, please. Ha–ha…”

Jenna, with her hat and mask revealing only her grape–like big eyes, beamed a crescent smile at him.
