Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1191

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.

So, he'd let it go, convinced it was just the past.
