Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1034

She was barely warming up to the idea of accepting him, and now he wanted to push his luck further?

"No way!"

Gilbert waved his hands frantically, carefully watching her expression, "Me, sharing a room with another guy? I'd never be able to sleep."

Even though his mind was like a ticking time bomb, he was perfectly fine for now.

Pointing at the couch, he suggested, "I can crash on the couch, okay?"

Mumbling under his breath, "Slept there last night and man, did I zonk out. I promise, no funny business."

Finally, she didn't object.

""Suit yourself."

"Yay!"

Clutching his pillow, Gilbert happily made his way to the couch.
