Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 904

Every time it happened was after she'd been touched by a man...

When she first started seeing him, she resisted him fiercely... but gradually, it seemed she began to accept him.

And then there was the half-brick.

He had heard about it.

When Sherilyn first returned to Sunhaven, she was hassled by some thugs. She defended herself with half a brick, ended up injuring someone, and got taken to the police station... So, was Sherilyn still carrying that half-brick around with her?

Why?

Gilbert was silent, his brow furrowed in thought.

There seemed to be so much about Sherilyn he didn't know.

...

Sherilyn didn't stay unconscious for long; twenty minutes later, she groggily came to.

"You awake?"

Opening her eyes, she saw Gilbert's handsome face close to hers.

"How are you feeling?" Gilbert asked, holding her hand with a gentle smile.

Sherilyn checked herself over, then shook her head, "I'm okay... just a bit of a sore neck."

That was from Gilbert knocking her out earlier.

By now, she remembered everything.

Her eyes sparkled, "That reporter... he was following me. He was acting all sneaky, I got it wrong. How is he?"
