Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 679

"Is this some new way to turn me down?"

Gilbert couldn't help but chuckle, even though he was slightly annoyed.

After being rejected by her time and time again recently, he had heard similar lines more often than he cared to admit. And given how much he had started to fancy her, he would have been livid if it wasn't for his feelings. "Enlightened? Just around the corner?"

He let out a low, mocking laugh. "Right, I am enlightened now because I want to be with you. So why won't you give me a chance? How about making it 'just around the corner' with me?"

"..." Sherilyn was taken aback, her mouth agape.

Gilbert gave her a stern look, "I'm just making things harder for myself by saying all this. Come on, eat!"

He picked up his fork and continued to serve her food.

When Sherilyn saw the piece of meat he was offering, she balked, "Isn't that a bit too fatty?"

"Tsk." Gilbert frowned, "Where is it too much? It seems you won't touch anything with a bit of fat."

As he spoke, he picked up his knife and fork, trimmed the fatty edges off the meat, and casually tossed them into his own mouth.

Then he placed the leaner piece onto her plate, "There, not fatty anymore. Eat up."

"..." Sherilyn looked at him, momentarily at a loss for words, her appetite waning.

Lunch break was short, and once they were done eating, Gilbert drove Sherilyn back to the film set.
