Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"Huh?" Sophia was taken aback. When did this happen?

"Sir, sir!"

A small figure suddenly dashed out of the room, sprinted to the door, and Gilbert, bending over and with a swift scoop of his arm, picked up Jenna. "Good morning, Jenna."

He lifted the bag in his hand, "I brought you some muffins."

"Wow!" Jenna's eyes sparkled with joy, "Thank you, sir."

Sophia couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, surprised by the unexpected visit, "Jenna, did you sneakily use my phone to call Mr. Johnson yesterday?"

"I didn't sneak it." Jenna stated seriously, "I missed Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Johnson said if I miss him, I can call him."

While talking, she hugged Gilbert for confirmation, "Right, sir?"

"Right."

Gilbert handed the bag to Sophia with a smile and said, "Jenna was craving muffins, so I swung by The Velvet Fork to grab some."

"Oh my." Sophia quickly took the bag, "Muffins from The Velvet Fork? The best in Sunhaven."

Turning around, Sherilyn, having finished her morning routine, came out.
