Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 959

"It's not really convenient to talk here..."

It was Gilbert who broke the silence, his gaze and tone filled with an almost tender consideration. "I haven't had dinner yet, how about we grab something to eat together?" "...Okay."

After a moment of silence, Sherilyn agreed.

So, they headed to the Crimson Table.

"What would you like?"

Sitting across from her, Gilbert slid the menu her way.

Sherilyn didn't take it, instead she sipped her water, "Anything's fine."

"Alright then, I'll choose."

Gilbert ordered a variety of dishes, then asked, "Is that okay?"

"Mhm." Sherilyn nodded, everything he picked was to her liking, so there was no issue.

"Then it's settled."

While they waited for their food, Sherilyn put her water glass down, absentmindedly twirling it in her palms.

Looking at him directly, she spoke slowly yet earnestly, "Thank you, for what you did for Galen."
