Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"Mommy." Jenna's voice was soft and tender, a vulnerable whisper.

She still remembered her mom's words, hiccupping through her tears, "Does Daddy only love his work, not me? Waaah..." "No, sweetheart."

Sherilyn choked back her tears, shaking her head as a heavy sorrow weighed down her chest, making it hard to breathe.

"Daddy... he loves Jenna very much..."

"Then why doesn't Daddy come to see me?"

Jenna's big eyes were brimming with tears, perhaps understanding her mom's dilemma, she burrowed into her mom's embrace.

She cried out, "Daddy's mean! Jenna doesn't like Daddy anymore!"

"Jenna." Sherilyn was at a loss for words, her heart torn.

In a moment of impulse, she wanted to tell Jenna that her daddy indeed loved her very much! That he had already come to see Jenna! But she couldn't bring herself to.

She had to admit, Gilbert and Jenna indeed shared a special bond, he was very kind to Jenna.

But who could guarantee that once Gilbert knew Jenna was his daughter, his attitude wouldn't change?
