Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1001

"I can't forgive..."

Caroline Bennett froze, repeating the words in a daze, her gaze suddenly sharp, "What do you mean by that?"

Gilbert Johnson let out a faint, cold laugh, took a deep breath, and sighed, "Exactly what it sounds like."

Then, he turned and walked away.

"Gilbert! Gilbert!"

Watching his retreating figure, Caroline felt his determination. She had this premonition that after he left today, the next time they met... they would be strangers!

In a mix of shock and fear, Caroline shouted, "Gilbert! Stop right there! I'm telling you, stop right now! Do you hear me? Have you forgotten your promise to always be there for me?"

But now, "I'm about to break that promise."

Once he had made up his mind, there was no going back.

But Gilbert sighed, "I can't be the same towards you anymore."

After leaving those words behind, Gilbert clenched the doorknob, turned it gently, opened the door, and stepped out.
