Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 901

All night long, Sherilyn dodged his questions.

Every time he opened his mouth, she'd skillfully change the subject.

"You're doing this on purpose."

Gilbert Johnson's voice carried a hint of hurt, his eyes reflecting the lively sparkle in hers. "You promised me, you can't back out now." "Let go first, then we can talk..."

He was holding her a bit too tightly, and Sherilyn Gomez struggled to break free, to no avail.

"No."

Gilbert shook his head, his brows furrowed deeply, his gaze dark and unyielding as he stared at her.

"If I let you go, you'll run off. Just say what you have to say, and then I'll let go."

This was his stubborn side showing.

But Sherilyn knew there was no escaping this. Reluctantly, she leaned into his embrace, tilting her head slightly.

"Yes, I did say that, but what I meant was giving you a chance, not necessarily committing to anything."

"That's enough for me."

Gilbert's eyes softened, his features gentle yet handsome.

""You used to like me a lot... I'll work hard to make you feel that way again."
