Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 799

"What's going on?"

Adela glanced at her husband, a sense of unease creeping in. "This seems serious?"

On the way home, Edgar had been rehearsing what he was about to say. Now, facing his parents, he spoke with earnestness, "Dad, Mom, I'm in love with Sherilyn. I want to be with her." "What?"

Adela's anxiety spiked instantly, confirming her fears.

"Edgar, how can you be so blindly obsessed..."

"Mom."

Edgar frowned, interrupting her gently yet firmly, "I've listened to you, I really have. I even tried dating other people. But, Mom, it's not something I can force. You can't make someone feel something they don't." Adela was momentarily speechless, her lips quivering, unsure of how to counter.

"Mom, I love Sherilyn."

Edgar's voice deepened, "I hope you can give us your blessing. Please, don't hurt her anymore, or I'll have no choice but to leave Sunhaven." "Edgar!"

Adela's face turned pale, "You would choose her over your own parents?"

"Haven't I considered you?"

Edgar shook his head, his brows furrowed, "If it weren't because you're my mother, I couldn't forgive what you've done to Sherilyn before!"
