Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 789

Sherilyn furrowed her brows but eventually nodded, "Alright."

She got up, trailing behind Gilbert as they left the hospital room one after the other.

"It's almost noon," Gilbert glanced at his watch, "Perfect timing, how about we grab lunch together? Blue Plate Diner, sound good?" Sherilyn glanced at him sideways, "Sounds good."

When they arrived at the Blue Plate Diner, they opted for a private booth.

"What's good here?" Gilbert passed the menu to her.

"Anything's fine by me," Sherilyn said, taking a sip of water and waving her hand dismissively.

"Alright then, I'll choose."

Gilbert flagged down a waiter and listed off a selection of dishes, "Let's start with these... and remember, no cilantro, no onions, no garlic." "Sure thing, Mr. Gilbert."

Sherilyn's brow twitched slightly, recognizing some of her favorites and notably, the ones she'd never touch.

She set down her water glass and looked up at him.

"Weren't you going to say something? Go ahead."

Gilbert's lips curled into a half-smile, "Let's eat first, we'll talk after."

True to his word, they focused on the meal first.
