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."

A bodyguard or a caretaker, they're all men, right?

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."

Sherilyn stared at him unblinkingly, silent for what felt like ages.

Finally, she didn't object.

""Suit yourself."

Sherilyn agreed!

"Yay!"

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

Truth be told, the couch was a bit on the narrow and short side, not the most comfortable spot.

But he had made it into the room, crashing on the couch, so... how far off could cuddling Sherilyn be?
