Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1191

Through the closed door, Gilbert could hear the sound of running water from the bathroom.

He frowned, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu.

Just now, Sherilyn had really pulled away from him.

He'd seen her like this before.

It had been a long time ago-over a year, actually-back when Sherilyn had first come back to Sunhaven.
