Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 811

Sherilyn was finally back at Sunset Ridge, feeling a sense of relief as she stepped into the comforting embrace of home.

"Mommy's home!" Jenna's little feet pounded across the floor as she threw herself into Sherilyn's arms, eagerly looking around her for someone else.

Mr. Gilbert had kept his word; he promised Jenna that Mommy would return today, and here she was!

"Mr. Gilbert... Oh, it's Mr. Ferguson, hi!" Jenna's big eyes blinked in surprise, realizing that the man accompanying her mother was Mr. Ferguson, not Mr. Gilbert.

"Hey there, Jenna," Edgar greeted with a smile, gently ruffling Jenna's hair before turning his gaze to Sherilyn. "Sherilyn, you should rest with Jenna. I'll head out now."

"Sure," Sherilyn replied with a grateful smile. She escorted him to the door, "For all you've done, let's have dinner together sometime? Galen can join us too."
