Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 827

Early morning.

Sherilyn and Rebecca White descended the stairs together. Rebecca was heading to her morning job, while Sherilyn planned to visit the nearby farmers' market to buy Jenna's favorite crab and cheese ravioli. Rebecca had returned late the previous night and was leaving early this morning, which worried Sherilyn about her sister's health.

"If you're struggling to pay back our brother, you can borrow from me. Don't wear yourself out."

"No way."

Rebecca flatly refused, "Borrowing money to pay a debt is just robbing Peter to pay Paul."

She chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I was up late working on reports, and today I have the early shift..."

Her words trailed off as she suddenly tugged on Sherilyn's arm. "Sherilyn."

"What's up?"

"Look over there."

Rebecca pointed toward a sycamore tree at the corner, "Isn't that Gilbert's car?"

Sherilyn looked over and nodded, "It is."

Frowning, she walked straight toward the tree.

Seeing her approach, Gilbert stepped out of the car and stood waiting.
