Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 706

Sherilyn's voice was hoarse, her spirit shattered, tears raging unchecked.

Her lips trembled, "Why do you have to push me like this?"

As her vision blurred, she accused, "When you despised me, you sent me away to another country without mercy. And now, you want me back, using our daughter to coerce me... Why do you push me like this..." She looked at the man, both desperate and loathing.

"Gilbert! I hate you!"

Gilbert felt a sharp pang in his heart. Hate him? Then let it be hate, it was still better than losing her.

"Sherilyn..."

The man remained on one knee, reaching out again to take her hand, holding a ruby ring, extending it towards her left ring finger.

"Marry me."

Tears pooled in Sherilyn's eyes as she looked down at him, and with solemnity, he slid the ring onto her left ring finger.

At that moment, it wasn't just her finger that was ensnared, but her heart as well...

Her eyelids drooped, and tears crashed down.

"Just perfect."

Gilbert, holding her hand adorned with the ring, smiled slightly, "It fits perfectly, and red is your favorite color. Suits your complexion beautifully." Looking up at Sherilyn, now a tearful mess, his heart softened immeasurably.

"Sherilyn."

He stood up, bending down to embrace her. Whispering warmly in her ear. "We're meant to be together, we have Jenna, we're a match made in heaven!"
