Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1143

In the cozy glow of their bathroom, Gilbert and Sherilyn were wrapped up in each other's arms, savoring the warmth and closeness.

"Hold on a sec..." Gilbert murmured, his voice still laced with a touch of practicality. He gently extricated himself from Sherilyn and headed out of the shower.

Sherilyn knew exactly what he was off to fetch. It was just a few steps away, tucked neatly in the cabinet beside the sink. They'd made a habit of keeping those essentials in the bathroom, given how often their shared moments happened there.

Gilbert returned shortly, and Sherilyn watched him unwrapping the package with a hint of curiosity. "So... you don't want another kid?" she asked, eyebrow slightly raised.

Since they had gotten back together, they had been careful about such things.

Gilbert paused, taken aback by the question. "That's not really my decision to make, is it? You're the one who'd be carrying and raising the child. It's up to you."

He thought for a moment and added, "But if you want my opinion, I feel like I've missed out on so much of Jenna's early years. I'd like to spend a couple more years focusing on her before we think about another."

They were both still young, especially Sherilyn. She had Jenna quite early, and waiting a bit would actually put her at the ideal age for having another child.
