Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1032

"What's up?" Sherilyn settled onto the couch, flicking her hair off her shoulders with a casual grace.

"Spit it out."

Gilbert slid next to her, fishing a small box out of his pocket. "For you."

This is...?

Sherilyn glanced at it, gauging its size, and ventured a guess, "A wristwatch?"

"Yeah."

Gilbert chuckled, flipping open the box, "Remember, the one you busted a while back? Sent it off to Switzerland for an old master watchmaker to fix up. The guy's swamped and ancient, took ages to send it back." That wristwatch, Sherilyn remembered.

It matched the one Gilbert was wearing, a couple's set.

"Here..."

Gilbert carefully pulled out the watch, grasped her hand, and positioned it on her wrist, "Let me."

Just as he was about to fasten it, Sherilyn jerked her hand away.

"Sherilyn...?" Gilbert's expression froze, a mix of confusion and disappointment. She didn't want to wear it?

A bitter smile crossed his face. "It was always yours, you know."

That was true.
