Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"Jenna!"

Sherilyn never expected Jenna's reaction to be so explosive.

"What's going on here?"

Sophia was equally taken aback by the severity of the mother-daughter squabble.

She rushed over to console Sherilyn. "It's wrong for Jenna to accept gifts, but it's not worth falling out over, especially over a stranger. She's still so young, talk to her gently." "You're right."

Sherilyn felt at a loss; she realized she had been too hasty. Why take out the frustrations she had with Gilbert on Jenna?

After calming herself, she knocked on Jenna's door, "Jenna, can Mom come in?"

Pushing the door open, she found Jenna buried under her blanket on the bed.

Sherilyn approached with a smile, "Jenna, it's Mom. I've come to apologize."

Jenna peeked out from under the blanket, revealing her big eyes.

"I'm sorry, Jenna." Sherilyn pursed her lips, her eyes slightly teary. "It was Mom's fault, I shouldn't have been harsh. Can you forgive Mom, please?"
