Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1026

As they spoke, they approached the front door, which was promptly opened.

"Mr. Nine!" the bodyguard exclaimed in a rush, hurrying after him, "Where are you off to?"

"Stop following me!" Gilbert said with a hint of disdain, "Keep your distance!"

"Mr. Nine..." the bodyguard sounded innocent, "Ms. Gomez insisted I shouldn't take my eyes off you."

"Ha."

With a crooked smile, Gilbert pointed next door, "I'm off to see Ms. Gomez, right now!"

He moved to stand in front of the neighboring door.

Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand, grasped the doorknob, and gently turned it, just as he expected, the door was unlocked. This was Sherilyn's habit.

Worried that Jenna might wake up in the middle of the night or early in the morning looking for her, she usually didn't lock her door. This time, it made things easier for him.

Gilbert glared at the bodyguard, "Got a problem with me sleeping with Ms. Gomez?"

He pushed the door open and entered.

The room was pitch dark.

Using the dim light from his phone, Gilbert made his way to the bed.

Sherilyn was already asleep, lying on her side, wrapped tightly in the blankets, only her pale face showing.

So quiet, so compliant.

Gilbert's restless heart instantly calmed.
