Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1033

Gilbert couldn't hide his smug smile as he looked at Sherilyn, feeling a sense of triumph for having seemingly unraveled her joy. "You look pretty pleased with yourself, huh?" Sherilyn couldn't help but laugh, even as she felt a tickle of irritation. "Immature much?" She shot back at him, "So, just because I asked about Callie, that means I like you?"

"Obviously!" Gilbert tilted his chin up proudly. "Would you grill Charles if he was seen with another woman?"

Sherilyn was momentarily at a loss for words, unable to counter.

With things having reached this point, she simply nodded in agreement.

"Alright then, let me be clear... yes, I've been considering what's between us," she conceded.

"Don't worry!" Gilbert reassured her without hesitation, raising his right hand and making a promise. "I'm not that kind of guy... You're all I need."
